Auto Connect
by m1dLL3
Auto Connect joins the saved multiplayer server automatically once the Multiplayer screen opens, so players skip the repeated list selection each session.
What it does
The mod remembers the last server a player joined by hand and connects to it when the Multiplayer screen opens. Players who usually return to the same server no longer need to find it in the list and press Join each time. A server address can be edited later, and entering a new address by hand updates the stored one.
Optional retry-on-failure behavior attempts the connection again after a delay, with the retry count and delay both configurable. A Reconnect button appears on failed connection screens. Authentication, whitelists, bans, player limits and other server-side rules are not bypassed, because the mod only changes the client-side connection flow. Auto Connect is configured in-game where the loader supports it, or by editing the config file directly. It is a client-side only mod, so servers need nothing installed. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and its builds cover the game versions listed for this card.
Auto Connect was first published on 2026-06-18 and last updated on 2026-09-18, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Automatic server join
The last server joined manually is stored, and the client connects to it as soon as the Multiplayer screen opens.
Retry on failure
An optional behavior retries a failed connection, with the retry count and the delay between attempts both set in the configuration.
Reconnect button
Failed connection screens get a Reconnect button that repeats the attempt without going back to the list.
