EasyAFK

by DoubleAAGuy

EasyAFK keeps a Minecraft client logged in while the player is away, so the computer does not need to stay on at the keyboard.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.8

What it does

The mod reconnects the client to a server automatically. When the connection drops or the player is kicked for being idle, the bot signs back in and replaces the session, so a player can stay in a game for up to 10 hours without touching the keyboard. It is useful on servers where idling is a problem and the player does not want to keep a machine running next to them.

Installation is limited to the client, so only the player who wants to stay online needs EasyAFK. The mod runs on Fabric, with a single file for 1.21.8. The file is published on the alpha channel and the code is open source under the MIT License. The server must also run 1.21.8 for the mod to work as intended.

Key features

  1. Staying online while away

    The client keeps its session open so the player can leave the computer without the game disconnecting.

  2. Automatic reconnection

    If the connection is lost, the mod signs the player back in and takes over the session without manual input.

  3. Retry before reporting

    The mod tries the login several times before it gives up and reports an issue, which makes failures less common.

  4. Long idle sessions

    The setup is intended for sessions lasting up to 10 hours, so a player can stay in the same world for most of a day.

Use cases

Idle time on a server

A player waiting for a long build, a queue or a timed event can stay connected to the server instead of logging out and back in.

Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want to remain connected to a Minecraft 1.21.8 server for long periods and do not want to keep their computer awake by hand. It is a client-side mod, so server owners do not need to install anything for it to work.
