Unplugged AFK
by sakura-ryoko
Unplugged AFK lets a player leave a bot in their place on a server, so the player can disconnect and shut off the computer while the bot stays in the world.
What it does
Players spawn a bot that stays in the world after they log off, which keeps the character present for farms and builds without the computer running. The bot can be turned off again by the player, and its active time is set by durations in the configuration, with a default timeout of 129600 minutes, or 90 days. Server administrators can spawn, kick and manage unplugged players through commands, and the mod respawns AFK bots after a server restart with a slight delay.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric across 28 release versions, 1.19.1 – 26.3, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. Its configuration lives in a json file that controls timeouts, safety options and messages. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
The mod suits server owners who run farms or community servers and want a green alternative to idling a computer. Its settings let an administrator control how long bots remain active and what they can do, while players keep an eco-friendly way to stay in the game. Versions 26.1 and later have files, with the latest Fabric file v0.2.6-mc26.3 for 26.3 published on 2026-09-23.
