Behavior​

Sender​

The server sends this empty packet at a fixed interval (typically every 30 seconds) to verify that the client is still connected and responsive. It is also sent once in the post-authentication burst to start the keepalive cycle immediately after login.

Receiver​

The client must respond with client.pong (c2s 2596) as soon as possible. If the client does not reply within the server's pong timeout window (typically 60 seconds), the server will close the connection and treat the client as disconnected.
