There’s a beautiful thing about idle games like Break a Lucky Block: they can make progress for you while you’re not playing. AFK (Away From Keyboard) farming is a game-changer for progression. Instead of only progressing when you’re actively clicking, you can set up your game to farm overnight, while you’re at school or work, or just while watching Netflix.
I’ve had sessions where I woke up to more coins than I earned the previous day of active play. Once you get AFK farming set up properly, it feels like free money.
This guide covers everything you need to know to set up effective AFK farming.
What is AFK Farming?
AFK farming is using game mechanics to automatically progress while you’re not actively playing. In Break a Lucky Block, this means:
- Pets that break blocks for you
- Pets that collect drops automatically
- Systems that sell items when your inventory is full
- Your character standing in an optimal position
When done right, you can leave your device running and come back to thousands—or millions—of coins earned.
Why AFK Farming Matters
Active play only:
- Maybe 2-3 hours per day
- Progress limited to your available time
With AFK farming:
- Add 8-12+ hours of passive income per day
- Progress while sleeping, at work, at school
- Compound gains significantly accelerate progression
Players who master AFK farming progress 2-3x faster than those who only play actively. It’s that powerful.
Requirements for AFK Farming
Before you can effectively AFK, you need certain things in place:
Essential Requirements
1. Auto-Click Pet (MANDATORY)
You absolutely need a pet with auto-click or auto-break ability. Without it, your character just stands there doing nothing.
Pets with this ability:
- Automatically click/attack nearby blocks
- Work without any input from you
- Vary in click speed by rarity
2. Auto-Collect/Magnet Pet (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)
A pet that picks up drops for you. Without this:
- Drops pile up on the ground
- You miss items that spawn far from you
- Efficiency drops significantly
3. Storage Capacity (IMPORTANT)
High storage means more time before your inventory fills up. If inventory fills and there’s no auto-sell, farming stops.
4. Auto-Sell (IF AVAILABLE)
Some versions have auto-sell features:
- Automatically sells items when inventory is full
- Can filter what gets sold
- Enables truly indefinite AFK
Nice to Have
- High Luck (better drops while AFK)
- Luck-boost pets (multiply AFK earnings)
- Good internet connection (less disconnects)
- Device that stays on reliably
Step-by-Step AFK Setup
Here’s exactly how to set up an efficient AFK session:
Step 1: Equip the Right Pets
Your AFK pet loadout should be:
| Slot | Priority | Pet Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Essential | Auto-click pet |
| 2 | Essential | Magnet/auto-collect pet |
| 3 | Important | Highest Luck pet |
| 4 | Good | Secondary Luck pet |
| 5 | Optional | Storage boost OR more Luck |
If you don’t have auto-click or magnet pets yet, AFK farming isn’t really viable. Make getting these a priority.
Step 2: Choose Your Farming Location
Location matters. Look for:
Ideal spots:
- Center of block spawn areas
- Away from edges (don’t want to fall)
- High block density
- Near auto-sell if available
Avoid:
- Far from block spawns
- Near portals or teleports (might accidentally move)
- Low-tier areas when you could be higher
Step 3: Position Your Character
- Walk to the center of your chosen spot
- Face the direction with the most blocks (if camera matters)
- Stand still—don’t move around
- Make sure you can see your character (helps confirm it’s working)
Step 4: Adjust Game Settings
Optimize settings for AFK:
Lower graphics:
- Reduces device heat
- Prevents crashes
- Saves battery/power
Disable camera auto-follow:
- Prevents weird camera behavior
- Less strain on the system
Enable auto-sell (if available):
- Prevents inventory cap stops
- Extends AFK duration
Step 5: Device Prep
Get your device ready:
PC:
- Disable sleep mode
- Disable screen saver
- Keep power connected
- Close background programs
Mobile/Tablet:
- Disable auto-lock
- Plug in charger
- Lower brightness (reduce burn-in risk)
- Enable “keep screen on” if available
Step 6: Test the Setup
Before walking away for hours:
- Watch for 5-10 minutes
- Confirm pets are breaking blocks
- Confirm drops are being collected
- Check that nothing weird is happening
If everything’s working, you’re good to go AFK!
Maximizing AFK Efficiency
Once you have the basics, here’s how to optimize:
1. Luck Still Matters
Higher Luck = better drops, even while AFK. Each block your pet breaks benefits from your Luck stat.
Before AFK session:
- Upgrade Luck as high as reasonable
- Equip Luck-boosting pets
- Use Luck potions if you have them
2. Farm the Right Tier
AFK at a tier appropriate for your stats. If you’re in a tier where blocks take too long to break, you’ll get fewer blocks overall.
Test both options:
- Sometimes lower tier with faster breaks = more coins
- Sometimes higher tier with slower breaks = more coins
- Experiment for your specific stats
3. Storage Management
Calculate how long before your inventory fills:
Time to full = Storage capacity ÷ Drop rate per minute
If you’re AFK for 8 hours and fill up after 2 hours, you’re losing 6 hours of potential farming.
Solutions:
- Upgrade storage stat
- Use storage-boost pets
- Enable auto-sell
- Check in periodically to sell
4. Avoid Disconnections
Nothing kills an AFK session like getting disconnected.
Tips:
- Use wired internet (Ethernet) over WiFi
- Close other bandwidth-heavy apps
- Don’t use shared connections during peak times
- Choose stable servers
5. Anti-AFK Measures
Some servers kick idle players. Watch for:
- Kick warnings in chat
- Sudden screen changes
- Movement requirements
If your version has anti-AFK:
- Some pets have movement abilities that help
- Certain items prevent AFK kicks
- May need to check in periodically
AFK Duration Recommendations
How long can you realistically AFK?
Short AFK (1-2 hours)
Good for:
- Checking in during breaks
- Dinner time farming
- Supplement to active play
Requirements:
- Basic auto-click pet is enough
- Storage doesn’t usually fill
Medium AFK (4-6 hours)
Good for:
- While at work/school
- Afternoon sessions
- Casual overnight
Requirements:
- Need decent storage
- Auto-sell strongly recommended
- Check periodically if possible
Long AFK (8-12+ hours)
Good for:
- Overnight farming
- Full work day
- Maximizing passive progress
Requirements:
- High storage or auto-sell essential
- Device must handle extended run
- Stable connection mandatory
- Expect some disconnects (restart in morning)
Platform-Specific Tips
PC AFK Setup
Advantages:
- Most stable for long sessions
- Best performance
- Can leave running 24/7 if desired
Setup tips:
- Disable Windows sleep: Settings → Power → Never
- Disable screen saver
- Use wired internet
- Close background programs
- Consider using a dedicated “gaming PC” if you have one
Mobile/Tablet AFK Setup
Advantages:
- Doesn’t tie up your main PC
- Can use old devices
Setup tips:
- Disable auto-lock: Settings → Display → Screen timeout → Never
- Enable “Stay awake while charging” (in Developer Options on Android)
- Lower brightness to minimum (prevents screen burn-in)
- Use a charging cable you don’t need
- Place on a cool surface (prevents overheating)
Warnings:
- Extended screen-on can damage mobile displays
- Consider an old device specifically for AFK
- OLED screens are especially vulnerable to burn-in
Tablet Recommendation
If you’re serious about AFK farming, a cheap tablet dedicated to this is worth considering:
- Doesn’t risk your phone
- Can run 24/7 without worry
- Old/refurbished tablets are fine
- Wi-Fi only tablets work perfectly
Calculating AFK Earnings
Know what to expect:
Earnings Formula
Hourly AFK Earnings = Blocks/hour × Average drop value × AFK efficiency
AFK efficiency is typically 60-80% of active play due to:
- Pets not as fast as manual clicking
- Potential inventory caps
- Occasional collection misses
Sample Calculations
| Tier | Luck | Active Rate | AFK Rate (70%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rare | 500 | 10,000/hr | 7,000/hr |
| Epic | 1000 | 30,000/hr | 21,000/hr |
| Legendary | 2000 | 100,000/hr | 70,000/hr |
Overnight example (8 hours at Epic, 1000 Luck):
- 21,000/hr × 8 hours = 168,000 coins while sleeping
That’s significant progress with zero effort!

AFK Farming FAQ
“Is AFK farming allowed?”
Yes! Using in-game pets and features as intended is completely allowed. What might not be allowed: external macros, auto-clickers, or scripts. Stick to in-game mechanics.
“How do I get auto-click pets?”
They drop from eggs and blocks like other pets. Higher-tier eggs have better chances. Sometimes events feature auto-click pets. Keep hatching and you’ll get one.
“Can I AFK on multiple accounts?”
Technically yes, but it depends on Roblox’s terms of service. Running many accounts simultaneously might raise flags. One account AFK is definitely fine.
“Is AFK 24/7 worth it?”
If you have a dedicated device and stable setup, yes. However, there are diminishing returns if you’re not upgrading stats with the earned coins. Balance AFK time with active play to spend those coins.
“Should I AFK during events?”
It depends on the event. If it has temporary 2x bonuses, AFK is valuable. If it requires active participation for exclusive rewards, you might want to play actively instead.
