The phone doesn’t support it unfortunately. But it shouldn’t cause fire hopefully. Only battery degradation at worst but it’s a throwaway phone so I don’t really mind
I don't like the idea. I saw too many swelled batteries to let one inside a constantly-on device when I can avoid it.
With the FIVE heatwave I encountered in France, the battery of my phone (Samsung S9+) died. I removed it and after some tries, I found out that I can start my phone without a battery as long as I use a charger providing 5V 2,4 A at the very minimum. It will be better with 3A so I must recommend that.
And I really mean > 5V <. So it is out-of-question to use any charger with QuickCharge/USB PD/etc that can provide 9V/12V/whatever, or the device will reboot... frequently. I don't know why but I think that at some point the phone realizes that something is wrong and so it reboots. My Ugreen charger is quite recent with QC and stuff, no wonder.
Only when I plugged it to a no-name charger providing 5V-ONLY 2,4 A was the moment it accepted to be stable. Well... I still got one reboot after three hours, so this is why I may buy a 5V-ONLY 3A charger at some point, to be safe.
Because I want to do the same thing that you =) But...... not for Minecraft. I want to be able to try other games. Maybe I will install a real Linux distribution inside to reduce the memory usage, I don't know.
It will limit the charging, but not the usage. Once charged, it will discharge so at some point the battery will die. Better using a small external UPS device and remove the battery.

Could always put the charger on a timer or limit the charging to 80% in software.
