AutoReconnect

by Bstn

AutoReconnect retries a multiplayer server connection automatically after a player is disconnected, using a configurable list of delays.

What it does

When the connection to a server or realm drops, the mod starts new attempts on its own. By default it makes four attempts, waiting 3, 10, 30 and 60 seconds between them. Each delay can be set individually, attempts can be limited to a chosen number, and an infinite mode repeats the last delay until the player stops it. A countdown shows the time to the next attempt, and pressing Escape or the cancel button ends it. Manual reconnecting stays available at any point.

The disconnect screen gains an extra button that reconnects without first returning to the main menu. Configuration runs through Mod Menu. The mod can also send messages or commands after each reconnect, such as joining a particular lobby, with a delay before the first message. These messages work on servers, realms and singleplayer worlds. Disconnects from a singleplayer world do not lead into a multiplayer connection, because the mod handles that case. It also includes a fix for bug MC-46502.

AutoReconnect is client-side only, so servers run without it and players alone install it. It requires Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu, and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. The source code and issue tracker are public. The latest Fabric file, 2.2.1, was published on 2023-07-26 for 1.20.1 only. Use on multiplayer servers and realms may need approval from the server admins first.

Key features

  1. Automatic reconnect attempts

    After a disconnect, the mod retries the connection on its own, with four attempts by default at 3, 10, 30 and 60 seconds.

  2. Individual delays and limits

    Each delay between attempts can be set separately, and the number of attempts can be limited or made infinite.

  3. Reconnect button on the disconnect screen

    An extra button reconnects directly from the disconnect screen, without going back to the menu first.

  4. Messages after reconnecting

    Chat messages or commands can be sent after reconnecting, with a configurable delay before the first one.

Questions

Does AutoReconnect need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is required, together with Cloth Config API and Mod Menu.

Must the server install AutoReconnect?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

Can the mod reconnect after a singleplayer world ends?

It works on servers, realms and singleplayer worlds. A disconnect from a singleplayer world does not lead into a multiplayer connection.
