Facts

Purpose
Actually Played tracks time spent playing on each Minecraft server and singleplayer world separately from time spent AFK.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
AFK detection
After five minutes without activity, the counter stops and reclassifies the just-counted idle time as AFK.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Activity signals
Activity includes movement intent, camera rotation, keyboard and mouse input, and interactions such as breaking or placing blocks.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Client-side use
The mod works client-side on servers without requiring server installation, and the project says it does not communicate with servers.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Supported versions
The README lists Minecraft 1.7.10, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.20.1, and 1.21.1, with Forge, Fabric, or NeoForge support depending on version.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Local data
Playtime history is stored as readable, hand-editable JSON in the local Minecraft configuration directory.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Privacy
The README says there is no network traffic or telemetry and that data stays on the user's machine.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Data durability
The README describes atomic saves, autosave-based crash recovery, and setting damaged data files aside instead of deleting them.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
History detail
Sessions retain full detail for 90 days, after which older sessions are merged into monthly summaries.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Notable limitation
Realms connections are not tracked because the client receives no stable identifier for them.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Configuration
On Minecraft 1.16 and later, settings are edited in a properties file rather than through an in-game settings screen.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Support and contributions
The README invites bug reports, translation contributions, and pull requests through the project's issue tracker and repository.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
License
The project uses the MIT license, which the README says permits modification, modpack bundling, and commercial redistribution when the copyright notice is retained.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Maker
The GitHub profile identifies the maker as Julien Marcon and lists Haute-Loire, France.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
AFK farm handling
It reads movement intent rather than position, so being carried by water or a minecart does not count as active input.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Minecraft support
The listed versions are Minecraft 1.7.10, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.20.1, and 1.21.1, with Forge, Fabric, or NeoForge support depending on version.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Installation
Install the matching loader and put the mod jar in `.minecraft/mods/`; the mod requires no server-side installation.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
Durability
The mod describes atomic file writes, autosaving the running session every 60 seconds by default, and preserving damaged files under a renamed filename.github.com · 4 Oct 2026
