Clean Auto Reconnect

## Back in the game without the clicking

The server restarts every night at 4 am, your Wi-Fi hiccups, or you get "Connection timed out" in the middle of building. In vanilla you click "Back to server list", find the server, click Join... and if it's still restarting, do it again and again.

**Clean Auto Reconnect** does that for you. The "Disconnected" screen shows a countdown and tries again on its own.

## Features

- **Automatic retries** - "Reconnecting in 5s... (attempt 1 of 5)" right on the Disconnected screen.
- **Smart waiting** - waits a bit longer after each try (5s, 10s, 15s...), so restarting servers have time to come back.
- **Reconnect now** button - skip the countdown.
- **Cancel** button - stay on the screen and stop retrying.
- **Doesn't nag after a ban** - if the reason mentions a ban or the whitelist, it won't keep retrying.
- **Only when you didn't leave yourself** - quitting with "Disconnect" in the menu never triggers it.
- **Multiplayer only** - never kicks in for singleplayer or Realms.

No key bindings - nothing to set up and no conflicts with other mods.

## Settings

The file `config/cleanautoreconnect.properties` is created on first launch:

- `enabled` - auto reconnect on or off (default: true)
- `maxAttempts` - tries before giving up (default: 5)
- `delaySeconds` - wait before the first try (default: 5, minimum 3)
- `increasingDelay` - wait longer after each try (default: true)
- `skipWhenBanned` - don't retry after a ban/whitelist message (default: true)

## Works on servers

This is a **client-side only** mod. Reconnecting works exactly like pressing "Join Server" yourself, with a sensible wait between tries so it never spams a server. Please respect server rules - if a server asks players not to auto-rejoin after a kick, turn it off with `enabled=false`.

## Honest limitations

- Realms are not supported (they use a different way of joining).
- The ban check looks for the words "banned" or "whitelist" in the message; servers with unusual wording may still get a few retries (up to `maxAttempts`).
- If you were in a modded server's special screen (e.g. a queue mod), the server may handle reconnecting differently.
- The settings are in a config file; there is no in-game settings screen yet.
