Automatically refresh account on session expiry

Role

I play vanilla and lightly modded Minecraft

Suggestion

Automatically refresh account on session expiry

Benefit

Users can keep the launcher open for 24+ hours and start a new instance without needing to go to the accounts menu to manually hit "refresh"

This suggestion is unique

• [X] I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my suggestion, especially not one that has been rejected.

You may use the editor below to elaborate further.

Minecraft sessions seem to expire after 24 hours, meaning that keeping the launcher open and starting a new instance on a previously used account will start the game with an already expired session. I think it would make more sense to keep track of the expiry time for every account and fetch a new session when it's close to or already expired, as to not require restarting the game an extra time trying to log into a multiplayer server.

To fix one of the issues (preventing restart of the launcher), it could refresh the selected account when launching an instance. Regarding the in-game expiry, I've used mods like these to re-login ingame, not too sure what the launcher can do here though.

This is what I'm looking for, as I close the game instance I use with my main account and on re-open the next day the session is expired.
