AutoReconnect
This mod will automatically try to reconnect you back to a server if you got disconnected. By default, it will make 4 attempts after 3, 10, 30 and 60 seconds.
Quick answer
Which AutoReconnect release should I use?
AutoReconnect 2.2.1 targets 1.20.1 with Fabric. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. 2 required mods need a matching file.
Where it goes
Is AutoReconnect required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does AutoReconnect 2.2.1 need?
2.2.1. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API, Mod Menu, Cloth Config API (Fabric/Forge/NeoForge) first, but 2 required mods have no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

Requirements/Installation/Setup

ModMenuis highly recommended for easy in-game configuration

- Start up minecraft and when you see the title screen, click on "Mods"

Compatibility/Support
ModMenu:
- Properly shows the mod icon, name and author and provides a link for the curseforge project page and the github issues page
- Graphical user interface to configure the mod in-game
AuthMe:
- Countdown for automatic reconnect will stop if you're re-authenticating to revalidate your session
Details
Automatic reconnects:
- Attempts can be configured by adding strictly positive values (delay in seconds) to the list of delays. For each value in that list a delayed attempt will be made to reconnect you.
- Can be disabled by simple not configuring any attempts. Only manual reconnects are possible then.
- The "infinite" flag can be enabled to configure the last attempt to repeat infinitely
- The countdown can be cancelled by pressing the button with the "✕" or by pressing escape
Automatic messages:
- Will only be executed if an automatic reconnect attempt has been made, so you didn't click on the reconnect button yourself.
- Can target multiple specific servers, realms or singleplayer worlds. Create a configuration under the section "AutoMessages" for each one and enter the name of the server, realm or singleplayer world.
- A delay can be configured (in milliseconds). This delay will be the same between every message and before the first message after the instant you joined the world.
Future plans
- Modify internal structures to pick up quickPlay connects (or mods/alternative launchers directly connecting you to somewhere) which don't go through the ui
- Reconnect from being kicked into a lobby (feature request issue #22)
- Conditional reconnects, e.g. configure the mod not to reconnect when a moderator has kicked you (feature request issue #36)
- I'm not planning to port this mod to forge
