Minecraft/AFK

Minecraft running in the background is basically the digital equivalent of leaving your fridge door open, except instead of cold air escaping, your CPU is sweating buckets and your power bill just winked at the electric company.

On SMP servers like Art3mis, we don’t enforce any maximum idle time limit—because why would we? Let that JVM tick away like it’s got a purpose. Our server is sprawled across three nodes (plus a Synology backup, because redundancy is life), so yeah, eco-friendly this ain’t. But who cares when blowing up the Nether and watching a Warden duke it out with a Wither is the highlight of your day?

Now, if you really want to show some love to your hardware (and the planet’s patience), try running multiple Minecraft instances simultaneously. Just look at MongKoL’s empire: an army of bots marching around his base like it’s a mini North Korea, tirelessly mining, fishing, and doing the virtual equivalent of standing in formation. The CPU cycles are burning, the fans are roaring, and the power meter is spinning like a roulette wheel.

But hey, bot away, my fellow $JR fiat currency lovers! If you enjoy chasing digital coins printed out of thin air, you might as well put those bots to work grinding your nether quartz and whatever else fuels the economy. After all, nothing says capitalism like burning gigawatts of power to maintain your pixelated empire.

So go ahead, keep Minecraft humming in the background—because if you’re gonna pay for electricity, might as well have some explosions and Warden fights as a bonus. The planet might not thank you, but your $JR balance sure will.
