SuperAFKbots
SuperAFKbots adds player-like bots to a Fabric server, so chunks around them stay loaded while no real player is online.
What it does
Each bot appears in the player list and tab list as a virtual player. Every bot holds a 3x3 block of chunks loaded around itself, which suits AFK farms, automated systems and server setups where certain areas must stay active without a player connected. The mod is a lightweight standalone Fabric mod that only touches bots created by the executing player.
Server owners can set a maximum number of bots for the entire server. Bots are removed automatically after 5 minutes once players come online, and otherwise remain until removed manually. The mod is server-side and suits private servers and testing environments. It is not open source; all rights are reserved by the author, TerminalForge.
The Fabric files cover game versions 26.1 – 26.2, with 1.2.1 for 26.2 as the latest file, published 2026-08-04. The first version was published on 2026-07-08. The project icon is a placeholder made with a generator, not a depiction of in-game assets.

How it compares
simpleAFKBot is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 26.1 – 26.3, so it covers a similar range of versions. Better Carpet Bots is open source under the MIT License, requires Fabric with a server and an optional client, and is published for 1.21.11 – 26.2. Basic Macros is client-side only, not open source, and covers 26.2 – 26.3, so it does not manage server bots.
