When attempting to connect to a server and then cancelling connection immediately when the game reads "Locating Server", the game performs a unnecessary save and quit, as there was no connection to the server, and no progress to save. this started occuring around 1.16.200 and hasn't been solved since. It's a bit hard to explain but a video will be provided of the bug and a edit of the expected results.
Steps to reproduce:
-Open Minecraft
-Go to servers list
-Connect to any Minecraft server
-Disconnect immediately (When the game says "Locating Server")
Note this bug may be harder to reproduce when using a very high quality internet connection.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue isย Invalid.
Unfortunately we don't accept issues related to External Servers here on the bug tracker, but please add more details if you think this also affects multiplayer over Realms, LAN, or XBL.
I'd suggest contacting the server owner directly or seeking help on the Minecraft forums.
