How can I run Minecraft in the background? [duplicate]

Is there anyway I can run Minecraft in the background so I can harvest items from my automated mob grinder while doing other activities, other than by setting up a server for myself? If I just minimise the game, it automatically pauses itself.

Open up your inventory (or the crafting window or furnace window) and then minimize the game.

F3+P allows you to minimize the game without it becoming suspended. There are other F3 debug commands, too.
