Auto reconnect
Auto reconnect automatically reconnects your bot to the server when it gets disconnected. Whether the server restarts, your bot gets kicked, or there is a temporary network issue, auto reconnect ensures your bot comes back online without manual intervention.
How it works
When your bot loses its connection, MinecraftAfkBots waits for a configurable delay before attempting to reconnect. If the reconnection fails (for example, the server is still restarting), it retries with increasing delays until the connection is restored.
Setting up auto reconnect
Open account settings
Go to the dashboard and select the account you want to configure.
Enable auto reconnect
Toggle the auto reconnect option on. You can also set the initial delay (how long to wait before the first reconnection attempt).
Configure the delay
Set the reconnect delay in seconds. A delay of 10-30 seconds works well for most servers. Too short of a delay might trigger rate limiting on the server.
Note:Auto reconnect works alongside macros. If you have macros assigned to the account, they will resume after reconnecting.
When auto reconnect helps
- Server restarts - Most servers restart daily or weekly. Auto reconnect handles this seamlessly.
- AFK kicks - If a server kicks you despite anti-AFK movement, auto reconnect brings you back immediately.
- Network issues - Temporary connection drops are recovered automatically.
- Maintenance - If the server goes down for maintenance, your bot will keep trying until it comes back online.
Tip:For maximum uptime, combine auto reconnect with anti-AFK movement. This ensures your bot stays active and reconnects automatically if anything goes wrong.
