What is a Minecraft AFK client?
A Minecraft AFK client keeps your account online on a server while you're away, without you leaving the game running. Your account stays in the server, your farms keep running and you keep earning.
What people use one for#
- Staying online: keep your place on a server or collect rewards for time online.
- Farming overnight: many farms only work while a player is nearby. See AFK 24/7 on DonutSMP.
- Making in-game money: sell on repeat or run Sell Axe on DonutSMP.
- Watching your base: get a Discord alert when someone comes near.
