AntiAfk
by CIOCOLATA47
AntiAfk keeps a player's character visibly active, so the game does not treat the player as idle while the screen is unattended.
What it does
AntiAfk is a client-side only mod, so only the player's client needs it and the server runs without it. Its settings are opened from the Controls menu under Key Bindings, where the mod's toggle can be bound to a key. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.
The mod bundles several separate behaviors that can be switched on or off: automatic jumping at a set interval, toggling sneak mode, swinging the hand, pausing actions at random moments, repeating a WASD movement cycle, moving the camera within a configurable range, and rotating the player through a full turn at a configurable speed. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, for game versions 1.19 – 26.3.
Installation needs only the loader, since the mod has no required dependencies. Its builds cover 1.19 – 26.3 across 29 release versions, and the latest file targets 26.3 and was published on 2026-09-16.
Key features
Automatic jumping
The player jumps at intervals the user can configure, so the character keeps moving while the screen is left alone.
Sneak mode toggle
Sneaking switches on and off automatically, and the mod notes that sneaking cannot be used while the feature is active.
Swinging the hand
The player's hand swings at intervals, producing a visible action without any input.
Random pauses
Actions are paused at random moments, so the character's activity does not follow a fixed rhythm.
Camera movement
The camera moves at random within a configurable range, and a separate option rotates the player 360 degrees at a configurable speed.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric or Quilt who leave the game unattended for long periods and want their character to stay active. Server owners do not need to install anything, since the mod is client-side only.
