AFK Control Tools & Utilities • Paper/Spigot/Bukkit
Overview
AFK Control is a lightweight AFK detector that warns and kicks inactive players using configurable thresholds. Optionally define an AFK Pool region where players are exempt from kicks (with a capacity limit). Messages, the kick screen, and an admin overview panel are all configurable.
Features
- Inactivity thresholds with separate warn and kick timers.
- Admin-selectable AFK Pool region (left-click = pos1, right-click = pos2), with timeout.
- Capacity limit for number of exempt players in the pool.
- Optional admin bossbar pulse when pool is toggled.
- Read-only in-game panel showing live config values.
- Configurable messages and kick screen with formatting.
- Console logs for transparency.
- Update checker: notifies admins when a new SpigotMC release is posted.
