Hot Restart
by Avlont
Hot Restart lets a player restart Minecraft with newly added mods loaded, using a button in the game menu.
What it does
Hot Restart adds a button that restarts the game so that mods added since the last launch are loaded without a manual relaunch. A hotkey of F1 and R reloads the world, and the previously opened world can be loaded automatically when the game starts again. Before a world loads, a warning is shown. The mod runs on the client only, so servers do not need it. It is published for Forge across 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1 and is released under the MIT License, which is not open source.
