Remote Minecraft Client Hosting

Start your free remote Minecraft client in Discord and leave your gaming PC off. Use your own account on a server that permits remote clients.

Why Choose IdleMine?

Remote client hosting

The assigned host can run a client after your local device disconnects, subject to uptime, authentication and server rules.

Server-dependent features

Any in-game rewards and AFK behavior are controlled by the selected server and can change; IdleMine does not promise them.

Protected credentials

Required deployment keys protect centrally stored authentication data. No security control eliminates all risk; see the privacy notice for current limitations.

Get connected in four steps

The only command you need to get started is /create.

  1. 1

    Join the Discord server

    IdleMine is controlled through Discord. Join the server to create and manage your free instance. No paid subscription is needed.

  2. 2

    Run /create and fill in the form

    The command has no options. It opens a form with three fields:

    • Minecraft Server: host or host:port, for example mc.hypixel.net
    • Minecraft Username: the in-game name of your Java account
    • Minecraft Version: optional. Leave it empty to use the default shown in the field; the field also lists the other accepted versions, such as 26.3, 1.21.11, 1.20.2 or 1.8.9. The default is the cheapest choice: the client speaks it natively. Every other version, including 26.3, is translated by ViaProxy

    Use an account you own and a server that allows remote clients. The bot then creates a private channel for you.

  3. 3

    Sign in with Microsoft

    If the account is not signed in yet, the bot sends a Microsoft login link (microsoft.com/link) to your DMs and into your private channel. Open it and sign in with the Microsoft account that owns the Minecraft account. The sign-in happens on Microsoft's website, never in Discord. If your browser is already signed in with a different Microsoft account, pick Sign in with a different account (switch account) on that page and choose the one that owns the Minecraft profile.

    The link expires after about 15 minutes. If it expired, press the Send new login link button on the expired message, or run /start to request a fresh link. The bot does not send new links on its own.

  4. 4

    Done: it connects by itself

    Once you are signed in, the bot joins the server automatically and remembers your login, so later /start runs need no new sign-in.

    • /status shows the connection state
    • /stop disconnects
    • /start connects or reconnects
    • /logs helps diagnose problems

    Farm behavior depends on the server and where the client is standing.

Other everyday commands

  • /panel web panel link
  • /chat <message> send a chat message
  • /sneak <true|false> toggle sneaking
  • /changeserver <newServer> then /start
  • /settings forward chat/whispers, post-join commands and delay
  • /reauth forget the stored login and sign in again
  • /delete remove the instance and stored login
  • /help list all commands

Try it first with the test account

See the bot join a server you control before you use your own account.

  1. 1

    Open the test channel

    In our Discord server, go to the dedicated test channel. /testjoin only works there.

  2. 2

    Run /testjoin

    A form asks for a Minecraft Server address (any Java server) and an optional version; leave the version empty to use the default.

  3. 3

    Watch IdleMine join

    The bot joins your server as the shared account IdleMine for a 2-minute session, greets with "Hi, I'm IdleMine!" and leaves automatically. Use /teststop to end it early or /testsneak <true|false> to toggle sneaking.

Good to know

  • A session lasts 2 minutes.
  • Only one person can use the test account at a time. If it is busy, the bot tells you how many seconds remain.
  • The test account's Microsoft sign-in is done by the operator, not you. If the session says "waiting for authentication", it may not join immediately.
  • Your server must allow the IdleMine account to join (whitelist and server rules). Only use servers where this is permitted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is IdleMine against the server's terms of service? ▼

Rules differ by server. IdleMine is not affiliated with or endorsed by a server operator. Use a remote client only where the server rules and your account authorization allow it.

Will my account get banned? ▼

No service can guarantee that a server will permit a remote or automated client. A server can restrict or ban an account. Check and follow its current rules before connecting.

How much does IdleMine cost? ▼

Everyone can create and start an IdleMine instance for free until further notice. Pricing of $3 per month is planned for 2027; the start date and payment terms will be announced before any paid offer. Free access does not automatically become a paid subscription.

Can I use IdleMine on multiple servers? ▼

An instance connects to one server at a time. Existing users can change its target with /changeserver, then use /start to connect again. Server rules and compatibility still apply.

Can I try IdleMine without my own account? ▼

Yes. In the dedicated test channel of our Discord server, run /testjoin and enter the address of a Java server you control. The shared IdleMine test account joins it for a 2-minute session and then leaves automatically; /teststop ends it early. Only one person can use it at a time. The operator completes the test account's Microsoft sign-in, so it may not join immediately, and your server must allow the IdleMine account to join.

My Microsoft login link expired. What now? ▼

Login links are valid for about 15 minutes and the bot does not send new ones automatically. Press the Send new login link button on the expired message, or run /start to request a fresh link. Once you have signed in, the login is remembered and later /start runs do not need a new sign-in.
