Auto Reconnect Reforged
by TerminalMC
Players who lose a connection to a world or server without clicking disconnect can rely on Auto Reconnect Reforged, which tries to rejoin on its own.
What it does
When a player is dropped from a world or server without choosing to leave, for example after a brief network outage, the mod begins reconnect attempts automatically. By default it makes four attempts, spaced 3, 10, 30 and 60 seconds apart, and the number and timing of attempts can be changed in the configuration.
The mod can also send a configured message or command once a rejoin succeeds, limited to one chosen world or server. It is a multi-loader update of Bstn1802's discontinued original, and it includes code reused under that license. Auto Reconnect Reforged requires Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). It is client-side only, so servers do not need it, and it is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, with snapshot builds included. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Automatic reconnect attempts
After an unintended disconnect, the client retries the connection on a fixed schedule without any input from the player.
Configurable retry schedule
The number of attempts and the delay before each one can be set to suit slow or unstable connections.
Post-reconnect messages
A message or command can be sent once a reconnect succeeds, scoped to a specific world or server.
Configuration screen
Settings are exposed through YetAnotherConfigLib, so they can be edited in the game's options menu.
