Features
A session you can actually see into
Most AFK tooling gives you an on/off switch. TetherMC gives you the session: what state it is in, how it got there, what the server said, and what it will do next.
Always-online sessions
Each connection is a long-lived session on our workers. Start it once and it holds — your machine can sleep, restart, or go offline entirely.
Auto-reconnect with backoff
Set the first delay, the ceiling, the growth factor and the jitter. TetherMC retries on that curve and shows a live countdown instead of guessing for you.
Live chat and commands
Read server chat as it arrives and send messages or slash-commands from the same box. Everything is logged against the connection.
Tab list and pings
The full player list with per-player latency, filterable, updated as people join and leave.
Command scheduler
Five-field cron with a timezone and a human-readable preview of the next runs, so a daily reward claim is a schedule, not a reminder.
Configurable macros
Order steps — chat, command, wait, look, jump, hotbar, drop, click a slot — then loop them with a delay. Built from the same step types the worker executes.
Inventory and GUI viewer
See the hotbar, main inventory, durability and enchantments, plus whatever window the server opens, without alt-tabbing into the game.
Alerts that reach you
Disconnects, CAPTCHA prompts, token expiry and billing events land in the dashboard, and on higher plans in a webhook.
Java and Bedrock
Store the platform, host, port and version per server, or leave the version blank and let the adapter negotiate it.
Reliability
How reconnect actually works
When a session drops, the worker records the reason — kicked, timed out, server offline, version mismatch, token expired — and then asks the connection’s reconnect policy what to do.
The delay for attempt n is your initial delay multiplied by the growth factor n−1 times, clamped to your ceiling, then nudged by a random jitter so a hundred sessions do not all retry on the same second. The dashboard shows the countdown to the next attempt, the attempt number, and the reason for the last drop.
Attempts are also budgeted per hour by your plan. A server refusing every connection cannot turn into a retry storm.
Defaults on a new connection
- First retry after
- 5s
- Growth factor
- ×2
- Ceiling
- 5m
- Jitter
- ±20%
- Give up after
- 20 consecutive failures
Every value is editable per connection, within the bounds your plan allows.
Credentials
How we handle your account
Your Microsoft password
There is no field for it anywhere in TetherMC. Linking happens through Microsoft’s own sign-in page, and the product cannot function any other way.
The OAuth refresh token
Sealed with AES-256-GCM using a key held in the environment. Stolen database rows are not usable credentials on their own.
Your sessions
Sign-in uses opaque session cookies stored hashed, so access can be revoked instantly — by you from Settings, or by us if an account is suspended.
Compatibility
Server types, not server brands
TetherMC speaks the protocol, not a specific network. These are the kinds of servers people run sessions on — we do not partner with, endorse, or represent any of them, and each one sets its own rules about idle clients.
- Survival
- Skyblock
- Prison
- Anarchy
- Factions
- Minigames
- Modded
- Mining
Getting started
Three steps
Create your TetherMC account
Email and password, then verify the address. The trial starts immediately and needs no card.
Link a Minecraft account with Microsoft
You sign in on Microsoft’s own page. We receive a refresh token, encrypt it, and store nothing else. TetherMC never sees your Microsoft password and cannot ask for it.
Add a server and press start
Host, port, platform and optional version. Choose your anti-idle actions and reconnect policy, then start the session and watch it come online.
