How do I AFK in singleplayer?

Keeping a singleplayer Minecraft world running while you're away. Why MinecraftAFK targets multiplayer servers, and the LAN workaround for singleplayer.

By the MinecraftAFK Team

MinecraftAFK is built for connecting accounts to Minecraft servers. Every feature (auto-reconnect, anti-AFK, chat, proxies) exists to keep an account logged into a server. A singleplayer world has no login session to hold, no chat to route, and no connection to reconnect, so there's nothing for the client to manage.

If you're trying to AFK on a multiplayer server, start with Client access and Connect to a server instead.

The closest workaround

If you're sure you want to AFK your singleplayer world, open it to LAN from the host machine and connect a second account to that LAN address. The host computer still has to stay on, which defeats the usual reason for going AFK.

For genuine hands-off, computer-off uptime, run a small server and connect to it with the web client.
