(Bedrock Parity) Transfer Packet for Java

Hello all,

My suggestion is to add a transfer packet to the Java Edition. I know we already have transfer packets in Bedrock, but I think it would be beneficial to also have one in Java. With the addition of the transfer packets on Java we can remove the network proxies that we already use to switch between servers. This would help significantly in both latency and cost of hosting. I know the packet has already been asked for, but we still haven't received one and had no official comment from Mojang as to why it shouldn't be implemented. In my opinion there is no reason not to have this packet in Java?

    +1 vote. I've never had lag on U.S. servers until Microsoft bought the game. It really is a burden to gameplay, player movement is choppy and PvP is impossible. The gap between high/low ping players is massive and it kills your ability to progress or climb the leaderboard because they're all dominated by low ping players. We need Transfer Packets.

    We ABSOLUTELY NEED THIS to get lesser ping in PvP servers. I hope they also implement it in 1.8

    This is a terribly needed packet. A lot of servers require dozen of dummy proxies for the sole purpose of getting server switching, increasing hosting cost, latency, and complexity. Mojang is just as aware of this as we are, since they implemented it for Bedrock.

    Transfer packets are really needed. High ping destroys the game and makes it nearly unplayable. High ping players face A LOT of problems on PVP servers hosted in the US, especially if you are Asian or Australian. Bedrock has it, so why should Java not.
