AutoAfkSleep
by johnflyiii
AutoAfkSleep, a Fabric client mod, makes an idle player sleep in a nearby bed at night and eat food when hunger drops.
What it does
When night falls, the mod looks for a bed within reach of the player and uses it, so a player who is away from the keyboard does not stay awake until morning. The bed must be within the interaction range of two blocks, and sleeping only works in the Overworld, since beds explode in other dimensions. A timing system checks more often as night approaches, which keeps the check cheap during the rest of the day.
Hunger is handled too. When food drops below a configurable threshold, the mod eats a food item without manual input. It prefers safe, non-magical food such as bread, meat and vegetables, and it skips rotten flesh, spider eyes and poisonous potatoes. Magical food like golden apples and enchanted items is kept for manual use. The mod also reads chat, answers direct messages and mentions that say the player is AFK, using a customizable reply with a 30-second cooldown, and can disconnect the player when a configured failure occurs.
The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only. Files cover 11 release versions 1.21 – 1.21.10, with 1.3.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
