Detailed description of a problem

I'm essentially trying to create a bot that automatically kicks a player from the server when they join (without operator permissions)
When I run it, it kicks the player at first, but then, once the player rejoins, they don't get kicked anymore and the code proceeds to give this error:

Error: read ECONNRESET
    at TCP.onStreamRead (node:internal/stream_base_commons:217:20) {
  errno: -4077,
  code: 'ECONNRESET',
  syscall: 'read'
}

My current code

const mineflayer = require("mineflayer")

bot = []
error_handler = []

function createBot() {
  console.log("bot made")
  bot[0] = mineflayer.createBot({
    host: "<my ip>",
    port: 43274,
    username: "<username of person who i aim to get kicked>",
  });

  bot[0].on("error", (err) => {console.log(err);createBot();});
  bot[0].on("end", () => {console.log("reconnecting..");createBot()});
}

createBot();

// Everything after this is irrelevant to the error (i think)

function lookAtNearestPlayer() {
  const playerFilter = (entity) => entity.type === "player";
  const playerEntity = bot[0].nearestEntity(playerFilter);

  if (!playerEntity) return;

  const pos = playerEntity.position.offset(0, playerEntity.height, 0);
  bot[0].lookAt(pos);
}

bot[0].on("physicTick", lookAtNearestPlayer);

Expected behavior

I expect it to kick the player whenever they rejoin the server.

I have the same problem using the bot on VPS

This is caused by the server or something in your network between you and the server. Basically you are being disconnected by someone, and if it's the server, they are closing your connection without sending a Minecraft kick packet. You can't fix this in your code until you figure out if it's the server or the network, so check the server logs and see if you can reproduce on another Minecraft server.
