AntiAFK

AntiAFK performs periodic actions to prevent Minecraft servers from detecting the player as AFK and kicking them. Common actions include small movements, camera rotations, jumps, or chat messages — anything that resets the server's AFK timer.

What it does

AntiAFK sends periodic inputs that mimic player activity. Configurable options:

• Action type — jump, look around, walk in place, sneak, or chat.
• Interval — time between actions in seconds or minutes.
• Randomization — randomize timing to avoid pattern detection.
• Only when idle — activate only if no manual input is detected.

Client support

Server compatibility

• Hypixel — Restricted. Simple AFK patterns are flagged; randomization helps.
• 2b2t — Permitted. No anti-cheat; queue management is separate.
• CubeCraft — Restricted. AFK detection includes pattern analysis.

Detection behavior

Anti-AFK detection is based on:

• Action regularity. Periodic jumps at exactly the same interval are obviously automated.
• Absence of response to events. Players who do not react to nearby entities or chat may still be flagged.
• Pattern history. Long-term AFK behavior is logged by some servers.

Randomized AntiAFK with varied intervals and mixed actions is much less detectable than fixed-interval jumping.

Known limitations

• Some servers kick for AFK based on inactivity in chat or interactive gameplay, not just movement.
• AntiAFK does not prevent kicks for other reasons (queue timeouts, plugin rules).
• Actions must be legal — swimming in place or jumping in lava would still cause damage.
