Question

I'm sure many of you have heard of afk-ing on some servers for passive mob grinders or automatic farms.

However, I have tried using 2 minecraft clients open to have an alt afk for me while I play on my main account, but it consumes way too much bandwidth.

I have tried using minecraft console client which takes up hardly any cpu or ram, but still consumes the same amount of bandwidth and it makes me lag like crazy.

Is there any way to run minecraft console client on some virtual or online server that I can access whenever I want and does not consume my bandwidth?

If you know any method to do this, pm me or simply reply to the thread.

Thanks.

Yes there is.

You can purchase a VPS (can be from $1-$100) that will do this for you.

I pay $55 a month, for a full server, unlimited bandwidth. So in answer, yes. But once you do, you are going to need to have one setup for you, if you do not know how.

I would look into getting a Windows server if I were you, and ask the hosting company about running an exe on it. My server is a Linux based one, and while running Wine (Windows emulator) might be possible, I do not know how it would be done. The server I am using, is unlimited bandwidth, but they do not offer a Windows server.
