Safe AFK
by ozozorz
Safe AFK is a client-side Fabric utility that keeps a player's session safer while idle on servers such as DonutSMP and 2B2T.
What it does
The mod targets AFK farming on servers where other players may approach an idle character. When a player who is not on the whitelist approaches within range, the mod sends a warning to the local player, and it can optionally disconnect them automatically. It can also open the pause menu automatically when the game window loses focus, so the screen stops showing the game.
Two whitelists are kept independently, and both accept player names, dashed UUIDs and UUIDs without dashes. Features are configured through Mod Menu, whose configuration screen is available in English and Simplified Chinese. Mod Menu is optional, but without it the settings are not reachable from the game.
Safe AFK runs on Fabric for 26.1.2 and 26.2, with the latest file 3.1.1+26.2 for 26.2, first published and last updated on 2026-07-15. Only the client needs it, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Nearby player warnings
The client alerts the player when a non-whitelisted player enters the surrounding area.
Automatic disconnection
An optional setting logs the player out once a non-whitelisted player comes too close.
Pause on focus loss
The pause menu opens automatically when the game window loses focus, so the idle screen is hidden.
Independent whitelists
Two player whitelists are kept separately, and both accept names, dashed UUIDs or UUIDs without dashes.

Use cases
Idle farming on public servers
Players who leave a character running on a farming server can receive a warning or be disconnected when someone nearby is not on their list.
Who it’s for: Players who run AFK farms on public survival servers, such as DonutSMP and 2B2T, and want an early warning when other players approach.
