simpleAFKBot

by 1078tin

simpleAFKBot lets a server owner place fake player bots that keep chunks loaded so farms and mob spawning keep running while players are away.

What it does

Bots spawned by the mod act as real players on the server, so the area around them stays in active entity-processing range. Mobs spawn, redstone circuits run and crops keep growing there. Hoppers also treat a bot as a player standing in place. The mod is a lightweight alternative to the player command in the Carpet mod, and the Carpet mod has to be installed on the client, which this mod does not need. Fabric API is required. Files target 26.1 – 26.3 and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Keeps chunks active

    Bots hold a full entity-processing radius around them, so nearby farms and redstone keep working.

  2. Fake player bots

    Server owners can spawn bots that behave like real players for keeping an area loaded.

  3. Server-side install

    Only the server runs the mod, so players join without installing anything extra.
