First steps

This page takes you through your first AFK and the two settings most servers change.

1. Go AFK

Join the server and type /afk making dinner. You read:

» You’re AFK: making dinner. Move or type /afk when you’re back.

Everyone else reads » Steve stepped away: making dinner, a ring of particles appears around you, and your name gets an [AFK] mark in the player list.

2. Come back

Take a step. Everyone reads « Steve is back after 12 min. Typing /afk again works too.

3. Let a player idle

Stand still without touching anything. After five minutes the plugin puts you into AFK mode on its own.

4. Change the timers

Idle players go AFK after five minutes, and a kick comes after 20 minutes of AFK. Both live in plugins/MoAfks/config.yml:

auto:
  seconds: 600    # idle for 10 minutes, then AFK
limits:
  enabled: false  # no kick, however long they stay away

5. Apply the change

Run /moafks reload. Players who are AFK stay AFK, and the new settings apply to them.

If TAB formats your player list, the [AFK] mark disappears behind it. Integrations shows the fix.
