Description

In the example of Supplementaries, players are kicked when using items that call to a specific api. I've reported this to the developers, and they're stating that velocity isn't handling the sync of datapack registries correctly.

Here's the client crash that's happening:

Please let me know what other info you may need. Might be easier to start an open conversation with the dev of Supplementaries, MehVahdJukaar.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked client crash report and the Supplementaries example, then reproduce the kick on a modded Fabric platform. Trace how Velocity synchronizes datapack registries and compare the result with the registry expected by the affected API. Done means the reported item interaction no longer kicks clients and registry synchronization is verified.
