(Effects versions 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12 & 1.13)

Whenever I play on a server, after a random amount of time everything around me will freeze, and I'll get kicked with this message:

[ERROR: Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: an existing connection was forcibly closed by remote host]​

Before you lock this and say that this bug has already been reported, this bug has been around since 2013, and it STILL hasn't been fixed. Also, I've never experienced this bug until the end of August, which means something had to change in the game. This clearly has to be looked into more. 

(If someone responds with "This bug has already been reported", then I've officially lost all hope in people on the Internet.)
