About this Mod
Simple AFK Bot
A lightweight server-side Fabric mod that lets players spawn fake player bots to keep chunks loaded and farms running — a simple alternative to Carpet mod's /player command.
How it works

Bots act as real players on the server. The full entity-processing radius around them stays active — mobs spawn, redstone runs, crops grow, and hoppers work, just like having a real player standing there.
Commands
/bot spawn <name>— Spawn a bot at your current location/bot remove <name>— Remove your own bot/bot list— See all active bots/bot removeall— Remove all bots (OP only)/bot config— Shows current bot limit settings (OP only)/bot config maxPerPlayer <number>— Set max bots per player (OPs only)/bot config maxTotal <number>— Set max bots server-wide (OPs only)/bot config autoCleanup on— bots removed after 5 min with no players (default)/bot config autoCleanup off— bots stay forever until manually removed
Built-in safeguards
- Per-player limit: Each player can have up to 2 bots on default
- Server limit: Maximum 10 bots server-wide on default (OPs bypass both limits)
- Death handling: Bots that die are automatically removed
- Auto-cleanup: All bots are removed if the server has no real players for 5 minutes (can be turn off by OPs)
- Ownership: Players can only remove their own bots. OPs can manage all bots
Requirements
- Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.1 (server)
- Fabric API
- Server-side only — no client mod needed, works with vanilla clients
