Jump_Connect
by rotgruengelb
Jump_Connect lets players join a configurable server by holding a modifier key while clicking the Multiplayer button, and shows playtime in the in-game HUD.
What it does
Holding a chosen modifier key while clicking the Multiplayer button connects the player directly to a server set in the configuration, skipping the server list. The server address and key are set in the config file, so a player can keep one or more favourite servers a single click away. Playtime for the current session appears on the in-game HUD while playing.
The mod needs Fabric API, Nixienaut and oωo (owo-lib) to start, on both Fabric and Quilt. Mod Menu is optional; when it is installed, the config screen can be opened from its list instead of editing the file by hand. Jump_Connect is client-side only, so only the client needs it and a server can run without it.
Files target 1.20.1 – 1.21 on Fabric and Quilt. The latest file, 1.1.1+1.21 for 1.21, was published on 2024-08-08. The mod is released under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Modifier-key quick connect
Holding a configurable modifier key while clicking Multiplayer joins a chosen server without opening the server list.
Session playtime on the HUD
The in-game HUD shows how long the current play session has lasted.
Configurable target server
The server address and modifier key are stored in the config file, so the quick-connect target can be changed at any time.
Config screen through Mod Menu
When Mod Menu is present, the settings open from its mod list rather than through manual file editing.

How it compares
Quicker Connect Button is also client-side only and published under the MIT License, for 1.20 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Random Buttons Be Gone is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20 – 1.21.1 on Fabric and Quilt, but it is about hiding or changing title screen buttons rather than joining a server.

Hold The Alt/Ctrl/Shift down and click the Multiplayer Button in the Main Menu. The Mod then connects you to the Server Address you have configured for Alt/Ctrl/Shift. & You should install Mod Menu to get access to the config Screen.
