How to AFK on a Minecraft Realm (1.21 Java)

Minecraft Realms is sometimes stupid, especially how you can't AFK more than 15 minutes before being kicked. It sucks. I have a quick workaround that is super simple to setup that allows you to fully AFK as long as you want on a Realm.
Steps
1. Find a safe spot
2. Acquire a lever or button
3. Press F3 + P to disable "pause on lost focus"
4. Make sure Minecraft is not fullscreen, i.e a small window
5. Place lever or button & hold down right click on it
6. While holding right click press F3 + T
7. Once the loading bar has disappeared let go of right click & you should be clicking it automatically
8. To use your PC while this is going on press ALT + TAB and DON'T hover your mouse over the Minecraft window.
9. Minimize Minecraft making sure the lever or button is still being clicked
10. Enjoy the loot/harvest :)

❗WORKS IN 1.21❗

nice. Gold farm road to lvl 1000 babyyyyyyy

[@TheRedPandax2]

It works too, but what about left click? I can do it with right click hold, but I want the left click as well especially for exp farms where I'm spamming left click and want to alt-tab.

[@b.tettenborn5986]

@@TheRedPandax2 I think with left klick you need autoclicker if you wanna use your sword 1 time per second (full sweep). Alternatively you can do the same thing as with right click and bind it to your keyboard then f3 + t but that will spam your sword/hand which means stuff like armour stands as mob stand in (as with a raid farm) wont work

[@Narfu1]

@@TheRedPandax2 Good question, I’m really not sure how to do it with left click. Let me know if it works

[@TheRedPandax2]

@@b.tettenborn5986 Hi! I have tried but it seems like there are limitations. The reason why spam clicking or holding button works even on left and right click is because you are constantly interacting with an object. However, the combat tools has an attack cooldown, meaning that if you hit something, you cannot spam it continuously on a same target, because there is a delay or a timing in between each attack. So I can only use autoclicker and spam left click with some delay but it means I cannot alt tab at all. Oh well.

How has this not completely blown up yet? Incredibly helpful.

[@rharding8698]

I'm grateful it hasn't blown up because i can still use it a year later!

Awesome, I made a regular afk pool a few days ago and it didn't work so I thought there was no hope. Definitely gonna try this!

I didnt know the f3+p trick, this is super useful! :)

Single handily saved realms for me THANK YOU!

[@GladOSTV]

thats exactly what i needed in a short video. pretty epic!

[@iamspaghetti4447]

I didn't know about the F3 + P, that helps a lot! I personally like to use noteblock to afk, especially on flying machines since you can keep it with you

[@haru9706]

Thank you for the Help and telling us the trick (btw i dont understand why this video is so underrated because its really helpful and clever and also easy to make it qwq)

[@Narfu1]

Np! I just show people what I know. I didn't realise how important it was, so in glad the video reached you! Tysm

thanks! realistically it’s a 30 second tutorial 😂

[@47shawty12]

thank you! i tried to do the old style afk pool and kept getting kicked. super helpful!

[@ashleycole6498]

This is cool! I saw on another video that you can make an auto clicker in the game by switching the space key with the right click, and then putting something like a stapler on your keyboard on the space

[@Narfu1]

ah yeah the classic weight on the keyboard/mouse 😂 in general tho the F3+T method is a super simple autoclicker too - just try it on something else

[@Humulator]

thats also ok but you can't use you computer in that one, im litterly afking in my minecraft while writing this

[@CristianoRonaldo-ck5po]

Wait nvm I took time to read the description. Good video

[@memessports6020]

@@viktoriaisold9838 @Hussain Rashid basically just right click the lever then unplug your mouse, this should keep it clicking, if you go out of minecraft by using f11 or whatever u use, you should be able to use other things.

does tape work?

Thanks bro I have a gold farm in the nether so it’s hard to afk there so hopefully it works

[@grimsage5809]

Thanks! love when a paid service forces you to opt into chat spyware, doesn't let you modify files (except with a full world download and reupload), and autokicks you for afk. Kind of curious if this means a return to idle fish farms in my afk spots lol

[@Zenxoh]

life saver bro

This works perfectly but if your going to use your computer well your doing it I highly recommend turning Minecraft’s volume to mute because it’s very annoying to hear the lever well your trying to do something else on your computer lol

[@Narfu1]

100%, should've mentioned that. Especially during a piglin farm afk session 😂 they're so loud

[@AshleyBlackwater]

ayy still works, thanks :D

I use to do this all the time on my old monitor but now when I get out of full screen mode my game screen isn’t small. I’m able to afk farm but can’t minimize the screen I tried changing res didn’t help

How? It doesn't seem to work for me, the moment I do f3+g my screen except for the middle part becomes all dark and i have the loading bar at the bottom and it won't continue to click. I noticed this only on 1.20.1.

MiniHUD! Yes, you can customize it

omg thank you so much

I'm in a realm on my PC and F3 + P doesn't do anything. F3 + T just opens up the chat/command screen. I don't believe I'm doing anything wrong and F11 works fine when switching between windowed and full screen. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

[@Narfu1]

hmm, are you playing on Windows 10 edition or Java edition. To my knowledge this doesn't work on Bedrock

[@hussainrashid2028]

I’m also experiencing this, have you been able to rectify it?

@@hussainrashid2028 TAP them both at the same time. Not one and then another. Took me a couple times

[@eksboks148]

even if someone reported this to mojang, I don't actually think they can do anything about this. I'm pretty sure this is a Windows thing (except of course if they just completely removed _"pause on lost focus",_ but I find that pretty drastic)

[@Narfu1]

they could change button and lever mechanics to still kick you if you hold them down, that's what I was worried about
