FAQ

The [AFK] mark doesn’t show in the player list

Another plugin, usually TAB, formats the list and overwrites the mark. Put %moafks_tag% into that plugin’s prefix: Integrations shows how.

Other players can still push an AFK player

Mo’Afks tells clients about collision through the player’s team: TAB’s, or its own moafks_afk team without TAB. A player who already sits in another plugin’s team keeps it, and Mo’Afks can’t change that team. Turn on debug to see who that is.

A player stood still for ages and never went AFK

The idle timer waits while the player is in danger: in a fight, falling, burning, in water or lava, or chased by a mob. Anything in exit_triggers also restarts the timer, a camera turn included. Turn on debug, and the log says why each refusal happened.

A player in an AFK pool keeps leaving AFK mode

They shouldn’t: water, pistons, and minecarts moving a player never count as activity. Check the log with debug on: it names the trigger that brought them back.

Does AFK time count as play time?

Yes. Vanilla statistics stay as they are, play time included. %moafks_afk_total% and Plan’s “time AFK” column give AFK time, so you can subtract it.

Do AFK farms still work?

Mobs keep spawning around an AFK player. By default the player picks up no items or experience. gains.items and gains.experience change that. A farm that needs clicks needs an active player, who isn’t protected.

Can I exempt someone from the time limit?

Not per player. limits.enabled: false turns the kick off for everyone.

A player gets the wrong language

Players behind a proxy or relay get its country. They can pick their language with /moafks language, or you can put client first in locales.sources. /moafks locale <player> shows what the plugin sees. See Languages.

My server has no internet access

Set geoip.enabled: false. Languages then come from the player’s game and locales.default.

Does the plugin change the world or player files?

No. AFK changes nothing the game saves. Only the AFK total, the count of AFK spells, and the chosen language go into the player’s data. The moafks_afk team exists only while someone is AFK, and the plugin removes a leftover one on start.
