Move Jiggler (Anti-AFK)
by zoltex999
Move Jiggler is a client-side Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that presses movement keys at random so a player stays logged in while away from the keyboard.
What it does
Once enabled, the mod taps random movement keys (W, A, S, D), along with the jump key, for a few seconds at a time and holds each one until the character has covered a set distance. Movement is measured in blocks travelled or ticks held, and the timing behaves the same way each run. Pressing F8 toggles the mod off. The key can be rebound under Options, Controls, Move Jiggler, and all other settings sit under Esc, Mods, Move Jiggler, Config.
The optional screen-awake setting calls kernel32.SetThreadExecutionState, which keeps Windows from sleeping or blanking the display while the game runs. The mod also works while the game stays idle in a menu before a world is loaded. Outside that setting, the mod writes a single warning to the log and then carries on running normally.
Only one build exists: a single jar tested against Minecraft 1.20.1 and Forge 47.x, with no other version offered. Move Jiggler is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

What the author says
Stay logged in without babysitting your keyboard. Move Jiggler presses a random movement key every few seconds and holds it until your character has really covered the distance you asked for. No macros, no external tools, nothing a player could not send by hand.
