Anti AFK
by Sourish25
Anti AFK keeps a player's character from being kicked for inactivity by sending small automatic movements while the player is away from the keyboard.
What it does
Anti AFK is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.19.2. It produces small movements such as head tilts, short hops and position updates so a server registers the player as active. A G key toggle and an on/off switch let the player turn this behavior on or off during play.
The mod is aimed at players on servers that remove idle accounts, and at owners who want to understand how idle detection reacts to movement. The author describes it as configuration-free, so it is installed and used without setup. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The code is not open source; it is released as All rights reserved.
Anti AFK targets only Forge 1.19.2. Its single file, 1.0.0, was published on 2025-01-26, the same day the project was first released and last updated.
Key features
Automatic micro-movements
Small head tilts and short hops are sent at intervals so the character appears to be moving.
G key toggle
Pressing G switches the anti-AFK behavior on or off without opening a menu.
Position updates
Periodic position updates are sent to the server, which is what idle detection typically checks.
No configuration
The author states the mod works after installation, with no settings to adjust first.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Long idle periods on public servers
A player who steps away from a server that kicks idle accounts can keep the connection active without staying at the keyboard.
Testing idle detection
A server owner can install the mod on a test client to see how movement patterns interact with idle kick rules.
Who it’s for: Players who leave a 1.19.2 Forge session running while away, and server owners who want to see how idle detection reacts to small movements.
