FreeDesktop Tea

by Maganoos

FreeDesktop Tea keeps a desktop from sleeping while the player stays away from the keyboard, so a long session does not lock the screen.

What it does

On desktops that follow the FreeDesktop standard, the mod stops the computer from going to sleep during play. It is built for AFK sessions where the player is away from the keyboard for long stretches and still wants the game to keep running.

The mod is client-side only, so only the player's own computer needs it and a server can run without it. Fabric API is required, and files are published for Fabric across 31 release versions, 1.18 – 26.2, with snapshot builds included. It is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Sleep prevention

    Keeps the desktop awake while the game runs, so the screen does not lock during play.

  2. Long AFK sessions

    Suits players who leave the game running unattended for long periods, such as idle farming or waiting.

  3. Simple by design

    Does one thing, preventing sleep, and adds no in-game blocks, items or settings.

What the author says

FreeDesktop Tea is a simple mod that prevents any computer with a FreeDesktop capable Desktop Environment from sleeping while you are in-game. This can be useful for example when AFK for long periods of time, and you don't want your computer to sleep so you can continue AFKing.
