AFKBot

This Bot is planned to "retire" sooner than later, don't worry, I'm currently coding a replacement that will include an executable App, so in theory it will be easier to download and use. If you have some doubts, don't hesitate to ask me in Discord :) (this is a temporary decision and it may vary)

As AFKBot may come to an end with the unconfirmed release of the new project, I would like to hear your opinions, thank you :) Google Form

A Bot for Minecraft to stay AFK thanks to mineflayer. Mainly for Windows, but should work on macOS and Linux.
