SafeAFK
by kattegat
SafeAFK lets a player watch their Minecraft health from a phone while the game sits idle, sending alerts when health drops or danger is detected.
What it does
Players who leave the game running in an idle state can follow their character's status remotely. The mod sends health changes to a companion mobile app, and the app can raise a warning when health falls low or when a death is near. Health is shown in real time, so a player is not depending on the game window staying visible.
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod, so only the player's own game needs it and servers do not. Fabric Loader and Fabric API must be installed first, and the SAFK mod file goes into the mods folder before the game is launched. The connection to the app depends on an internet link, and the data it sends is stored permanently.
SafeAFK is published for Fabric only, with a single build, 1.0.0, for 1.21.11. The code is licensed under the MIT License, but the project is not open source. The companion app is a separate iOS product and is required to make use of the mod.
Key features
Real-time health monitoring
Health is reported to the companion app as it changes, so the player sees the current value without opening the game.
Health drop alerts
The app sends a notification when health drops, so a player can react to damage while away from the keyboard.
Low health and death warnings
Warnings are raised at low health and when danger is detected, giving an early signal before a death occurs.
Account linking
A player links the game to the app with the safk command and a code entered in the app, a one-time setup step.

How it compares
True Health is a Fabric mod for 1.21.6 – 1.21.10, client-side only and not open source under All rights reserved, so it targets an earlier range than SafeAFK. MCPins is also client-side only and covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 under a Creative Commons non-commercial license, not open source. MoreHealth runs on both client and server for 1.21.11 – 26.2, with its own license, so it needs installation on both sides.
