BAfkIndicator

A simple, standalone AFK indicator plugin. No dependencies, no bloat — just reliable AFK detection with the features server admins actually need.

Features

  • Auto AFK detection — triggers on inactivity: no movement, chat, commands, block breaking/placing, interaction, or hotbar switching
  • Visual indicator — [AFK] tag shows both above the player's head and in the tab list
  • Smart tab sorting — active players are automatically grouped above AFK players in the tab list
  • Manual toggle — /afk lets players mark themselves AFK on demand
  • Chat broadcasts — the server is notified when a player goes AFK or returns (toggleable)
  • Sound effects — optional, configurable sound cues on AFK state change
  • Optional auto-kick — kick players after a configurable AFK duration (off by default)
  • AFK time tracking — total AFK time is tracked per player and saved across restarts
  • Leaderboard — /afk top shows the top 10 most-AFK players on your server
  • Player lookup — /afk status <player> shows anyone's current AFK status and AFK time
  • Admin bypass control — exempt specific players from AFK detection via permission or a simple toggle command
  • Fully configurable — every message, timer, and toggle lives in config.yml

Commands

Command Description
/afk Toggle your own AFK status
/afk status <player> Check any player's AFK status and AFK time
/afk top View the top 10 players by all-time AFK time
/bafk reload Reload the config
/bafk bypass <player> Toggle AFK-detection bypass for a player

All commands support tab completion.

Permissions

Permission Default Description
bafkindicator.bypass false Exempt from auto AFK detection and auto-kick
bafkindicator.admin op Use /bafk reload and /bafk bypass

Configuration highlights

  • afk-timeout-seconds — how long until a player is marked AFK
  • kick-timeout-seconds — optional auto-kick timer (0 = disabled)
  • broadcast-enabled — toggle server-wide chat announcements
  • play-sound + sound name/volume/pitch — optional audio cue
  • bypassed-players — list of names always exempt, editable live
  • stats-save-interval-seconds — how often AFK stats are flushed to disk

Compatibility

  • Paper, Spigot, Purpur, Pufferfish, and other Bukkit-based servers
  • Minecraft 1.16.5 through 1.21.x — compiled against the 1.16.5 API on purpose for maximum compatibility
