Having Lost connection issues with Minecraft can be a bummer. When you’re playing online with your friends on an excellent server and having the time of your life, the last thing you want is your connection getting lost.
This can be frustrating at a time when you were just about to kill the mob or were in a situation where your in-game player might die.
