Auto AFK KIck
by Vilno
Auto AFK KIck is a NeoForge client-side utility that disconnects or pauses a player after a set period of inactivity, configured in-game.
What it does
Once the idle limit is reached, the mod can pause a singleplayer world, open the pause screen and save it, or disconnect the player from a multiplayer server. The limit is set in seconds, minutes or hours directly in the game, and the mod can be opened with the K key. Its interface follows the native Minecraft menus, so the screens look like the rest of the game.
The mod is aimed at players who step away from the keyboard on public servers, where an idle character can be killed or griefed, and at singleplayer players who want the world saved and paused while they are gone. Because it runs entirely on the client, a server needs no installation and players connect without it on the server side. Activity is watched through the local inputs of the player's own computer.
Files are published only for NeoForge, for 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 as the latest file released on 2026-06-09. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its code is organized around NeoForge tick events, with no network requests of its own.
Key features
Custom inactivity timeout
The idle limit is set in seconds, minutes or hours, and takes effect without restarting the game.
Smart singleplayer handling
In a singleplayer world the mod opens the pause screen, which freezes the world and allows a safe save before the player returns.
Automatic multiplayer disconnect
On a public server the mod disconnects the player after the limit, so an idle character cannot be attacked while away.
Native-style interface
Its settings and screens use the standard Minecraft menus, so no separate interface has to be learned.
Hidden background checks
Activity is monitored through NeoForge tick events, which add no separate network traffic to the server.
