Unplugged AFK - NeoForge

A player can spawn an AFK bot on a server or in a single-player world, and the bot remains in place after the player disconnects. The purpose is to keep a farm or a base active without the player's machine running, which allows the computer to be shut off and saves electricity. Each bot has a timeout, and the default is 129600 minutes, or 90 days, after which it is removed. Server administrators can set other durations and can spawn, kick or manage any unplugged player through commands that require permission level 3 by default.

Safety options cover what happens to bots in play. Configuration can reset a bot's health when it dies, disable damage to unplugged players, and hide them from other players and operators. The mod respawns AFK bots after a server restart, with a slight delay, so a farm can resume without manual setup. The restart command cannot be used in single-player, where only the owner plays.

The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 0.2.5.1-1.21.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.
