AFKHold
by Eng11s
AFKHold keeps chosen keys and mouse buttons held down, so players can stay away from the keyboard during long walks, boat trips or repetitive farming.
What it does
Some tasks in Minecraft mean holding a button for a long time: walking or boating across a large map, or clicking repeatedly on a farm. AFKHold simulates pressing those buttons down, so the character keeps moving or clicking while the player is away. Its optional settings include a mute option that silences the game while a key is held, a disconnect option for damage and totem use, and an autoclicker switch with a configurable delay.
The mod is client-side only, so it changes nothing on a server and needs no installation there. It is published for Fabric and Quilt, with files covering 26.1 – 26.2 and the latest build, 1.1+26.2, dated 2026-06-17. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and Mod Menu is a recommended companion for opening its settings screen. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
AFKHold was inspired by AFKTape by Kokeria, a similar tool that holds keys down. Its source and issue tracker are public.

What the author says
This mod was made to simulate taping down buttons while AFK. This can be very useful when using any farm that require holding buttons down, clicking or making tedious tasks like walking/boating long distances simple. If you need to use mouse while held down, you can hold 'LALT' to look around in game.
