This is the Forge version of ReAuth, the Fabric version has been split off and is available here.
It is now possible to use Microsoft accounts with ReAuth in 1.7.10 through 1.19
1.4.7-1.7.2 versions may come at a later time
Overview:
- Fixes the Problem of having to restart your Client when your Session is invalid
- Shows you wether your Session is valid
- Login and retry for failed connection attempts
- Change Accounts while Minecraft is running
- Change Username for playing offline
Description:
This Mod is Clientside only - it will have no effect in a servers mod folder.
While entering your Logindata into a "random" Mod might sound risky, you are more than welcome to look at the code yourself.
To that end the Code is visible on Github; a Java-Decompiler (JD-GUI) is available here.
You are free to include this Mod in any Modpack as long as the Mod is not modified and the ModPack is distributed free of charge and in accordance to Mojangs EULA.
Features:
- The Multiplayer Screen now features a Session indicator at the top: If it's red you'll have to log in again.
- On the Login Screen you can login and optionally save your password to config. Please bear in mind that, while the credentials are encrypted before being saved to config, a malicous programms may still gain access to your password that way. The Encryption is AES based with the Key derived from the Files Location, Symlinks may be used to relocate the config or share it between instances.
- If a connection to a server fails because of an invalid session, two buttons are added to error screen. The first allows for opening the Login Screen. The other provides a quick "login and retry" functionality, when credentials are saved to config.
- From 1.7.2 onwards a hidden button is available in the MainMenu (id 17325) for use with CustomMainMenu.

I know but it would be nice for experimental purposes. I completely understand if you think otherwise
Will You add support for Microsoft Accounts? I have friends who bought Minecraft recently and Microsoft made it so you do not need/use a mojang account for minecraft anymore. He cannot seem to play when trying to join server because he cannot authenticate with a microsoft account...
As stated on the first line of this Project's description, it is currently not possible to use Microsoft Accounts with ReAuth.
Yet a solution for this is currently being worked on.
If your friend can't join a Server because their session expired they will have to resort to restarting their client for the time being.
In reply to TechnicianLP:
what if that doesn't work

Yes please. My computer is old and takes a while to load Minecraft back up. This mod (would) make things easier but alas, I have a Microsoft account and not a Mojang account. A Microsoft account compatibility or even another mod entirely would be nice.
No pressure though.
Nice try at getting my password. "Logged In from another location" changed my password and 3 failed login attempts, never saved the password to the config.
ReAuth does not contain malicious code - you can check the sourcecode and/or decompile the mod yourself if you want to verify this for yourself.
What makes you think it would definitly have to be ReAuth that "stole" your password?
In reply to TechnicianLP:
It said "Logged in from another location" I decided to change my password just in case, and it said 3 failed password attempts on minecraft.net. (I never saved the password in the config)
In reply to Retro_Guy0:
Yeah, I had my account stolen as well some time back, and instantly suspected this mod. Even if the mod itself is fine something else will probably steal your account if you use this.
In reply to Retro_Guy0:
This mod has over 41 million downloads, it is used in the biggest packs, and I recently saw cpw (one of the main contributors to Forge) commenting on this project's github issue page. No doubt this project has been analyzed, and would be removed if it had malcious code.
It's far more likely your account was stolen some other way. The problem is nearly always the meat link!

In reply to SimplisticTW:
Password theft is likely due to the meat link, not this mod...
In reply to TechnicianLP:
Oh whoops, I somehow commented this on the wrong mod without knowing it.
In reply to Retro_Guy0:
you're joking right?
In reply to Retro_Guy0:
Dam bro, what's he gonna do with 40,000,000 passwords, he must be a real sweat
In reply to spoonboy2_0:
Sell it to services that sell alts, obviously.
In reply to Retro_Guy0:
damn
When you update this mod to 1.16.4? It crashes when I using Minecraft 1.16.4 Forge (even only have ReAuth installed)
ReAuth has been updated to be compatible with 1.16.4
A prime example of a simple QOL fix that Mojang will never bother todo because they're far too busy doing... something else... probably unimpressive. Great mod!
