minecraft afk bot
A Minecraft AFK bot that never logs off
Stop leaving a window open all night. MineBots connects a headless Minecraft client to your server, keeps it moving just enough to avoid the AFK kick, and reconnects if the connection drops.
Anti-kick that looks natural
Random head turns, jumps and sneaks at uneven intervals instead of a fixed loop.
Reconnects with backoff
If the server restarts or throttles logins, the bot waits and retries instead of hammering it.
Runs while you sleep
The bot lives on a server. Your PC, your Wi-Fi and your power bill stay out of it.
Why use a bot instead of leaving the game open
A normal client needs a running PC, a stable connection and a window that does not crash. A headless bot only speaks the Minecraft protocol, so it uses a few dozen megabytes instead of gigabytes and keeps running on a server while your computer is off. You also stop paying for electricity to render a game nobody is looking at.
How the anti-kick works
Most servers kick players who send no input for a few minutes. The AFK plugin turns the head by random amounts, jumps, sneaks, takes short steps and swings an arm at irregular intervals. Because nothing repeats on a fixed timer, it is harder to spot than a simple loop. Pair it with auto-eat and the bot can stay online for days.
Reconnects and alerts
If the connection drops or the server restarts, the bot waits a randomised, growing delay and joins again. If the server throttles logins the wait gets longer. A Discord webhook tells you when it was kicked and shows the reason the server gave.
What an AFK bot can and cannot do
A bot is a real Minecraft connection without the graphics. It joins as a normal player, appears in the player list, loads chunks around it and can chat or run commands. That is enough to hold a spot, keep a chunk loaded, collect from a farm that needs a player nearby, or simply avoid logging in again after every restart.
It cannot use anything that depends on a screen. Map and image captchas, mods that change the game, and servers that require a custom client are out of reach. It also does not make you safe from the server: if the rules forbid bots, an idle bot is still a bot.
Setting up your first AFK bot
Create an account, add a bot and enter the server address and port. Choose the login type: offline for cracked servers, Microsoft for premium ones. Pick the Minecraft version the server runs, turn on AFK Keeper and Auto Eat, and press start. The console shows each step, so you can see the join, the spawn and any kick message within seconds.
If you only want to test, the 15-minute trial runs one bot, which is enough to learn whether the server accepts it.
Choosing plugins for the job
AFK Keeper is the base: it turns the head, hops and takes short steps at uneven intervals. Add Auto Eat for sessions longer than a few hours, Auto Armor if the spot is dangerous, and Player Alerts if you want a Discord message when someone arrives.
For work that earns something, pick the plugin that matches the farm: Auto Fish for water, Block Miner for a generator, Crop Farmer for a field and Mob Grinder for a spawner. Macros chain steps such as walking to a shop and running /sell.
Staying under the radar
Servers notice patterns: identical movement on a timer, many accounts from one address, chat that never varies. Keep the number of bots small, give each one its own proxy, stagger the joins and avoid spammy chat. Use an alt account that you can afford to lose.
The safest step is the simplest one: read the server rules and ask the staff before you connect.
Running more than one bot
Each bot has its own settings, plugins and proxy, and you manage them all from one list. Start and stop them together, read each console separately and see CPU and memory per node. On a plan with a larger bot limit, you can mix fishers, miners and keepers across several servers in one dashboard.
Common questions
Will an AFK bot get my account banned?
It can if the server forbids bots or detects automation. Read the rules, ask the owner, and use an alt account rather than your main.
How long can a bot stay online?
As long as the server stays up and your plan is active. Trial sessions last 15 minutes, paid plans run continuously.
Does it work with a premium account?
Yes. Choose Microsoft login, press start and sign in once with the code shown in the console.
Can I run an AFK bot on any server?
Only where it is allowed. Many networks forbid bots and macros, and each server sets its own rules. Check them first.
Do I need to leave my PC on?
No. The bot runs on a worker, either our cloud node or your own VPS, so your computer can be off.
Does the bot move when nobody is watching?
Yes, in small random steps, so the server does not see a player standing perfectly still.
What happens if the server restarts?
The bot waits a growing delay and rejoins on its own. You see each attempt in the console.
Can I get a message when something goes wrong?
Yes. Add a Discord webhook and the bot posts kicks, errors and the players you want to track.
