Fix Minecraft Essential mod: Not Connecting to Network Error

Description:

Today, I want to share a frustrating issue I faced with the Minecraft Essential Mod after changing my internet setup. When we switched to Starlink and started using an Ethernet connection, things went wrong. Getting the error: 🚫 “Unable to connect to essential network” 🚫 “Authentication servers unreachable” It felt like the mod was blocking connections on Ethernet, even though it worked perfectly before. I tried many fixes, searched online, and tested different solutions. Some helped temporarily, but nothing seemed to fix it permanently. 🔧 Solutions to Try: ✔️ Restart or disable/re-enable your Ethernet adapter – Some users reported success with this. ✔️ Add a JVM argument to force IPv4 – This can help with connection issues. ✔️ Update Forge and Essential Mod – Keeping everything up to date is always a good step. ✔️ Try switching back to WiFi – This actually worked for me! Not ideal, but at least I could play again. ✔️ Check firewall and network settings – Some security settings might be blocking the connection. If you're facing this issue, I hope one of these solutions helps! If you found another fix, drop a comment below – it might help someone else.
