RestMode

Minecraft can keep eating your PC even when you’re not actually playing.

RestMode fixes that by putting Minecraft into a quiet rest state while you’re AFK or away. It reduces the game’s load, fades the sound, dims the screen, and shows a customizable sleep overlay. When you return, everything is restored automatically.

RestMode can significantly reduce Minecraft’s resource usage while the game is AFK or minimized, especially GPU load and system temperatures.

Actual results depend on your hardware, modpack, settings, shaders, render distance, background apps and other performance mods.

Features:

• Automatically detects when you’re AFK or away from the game
• Reduces PC load while Minecraft is idle
• Lowers FPS during rest mode
• Can reduce particles and simulation distance
• Smoothly fades the game sound
• Dims the screen while resting
• Supports a custom sleep screen image
• Restores your original settings when you come back
• Works fully client-side, no server install required

Custom Sleep Screen

You can replace the default sleep screen with your own PNG image.

Put your custom image here:

“.minecraft/config/restmode/sleep_overlay.png”

The image must be named sleep_overlay.png

Configuration

RestMode can be configured in-game from:

Mods -> RestMode -> Config

You can adjust AFK timers, rest behavior, overlay position, overlay size, image opacity, screen darkness, and more.
