How to AFK in Minecraft with your PC off
To AFK in Minecraft with your PC off, your account has to run somewhere else. You can rent a server and run a bot on it yourself, or use a cloud AFK client that does it for you. Console Client keeps a Java or Bedrock account online 24/7 from the cloud, and one account is free.
