Description

Limited AFK

A fairly straight-forward server-sided mod to limit how much your players can AFK and tracks all players' playtime.

This mod should only be installed on a server.

Player Commands

/playtime Tells the player how much real-time they have played and AFK'd on the server
/afklist Lists the players online and who is/isn't AFK

Admin Commands & Configuration

Configuration can be done through the properties file generated when loaded on a server or through commands.

/playtime <player> Gets the playtime of the specified player
/playtime all Gets the playtime of all players who have logged on the server. Dumps to console and gives a clipboard copy to the admin.
/playtime actions <player> Gets the amount of time since a player has performed one of the actions tracked by the AFK algorithm.
/limitedafk Gets the current configuration settings
/limitedafk enabled <true/false> Enables/disables the AFK tracker
/limitedafk ignoreCreativeAndSpectator <true/false> Sets whether the AFK tracker should mark Creative and Spectator players as AFK
/limitedafk allowedAfkPercentage <0-100> Sets the percentage of a player's playtime can be spent AFK before kicking them
/limitedafk announceAfk <true/false> Sets whether a chat message is announced when a player goes AFK or comes back from AFK
/limitedafk afkTimer <60+> Sets how many seconds of inactivity it takes until a player is marked as AFK
/limitedafk defaultAfkDetectionLevel <LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH> Sets how aggressive the AFK detection is by default (LOW and MEDIUM require various levels of activity, and HIGH requires a captcha)
/limitedafk captchaTimer <120+> Sets the interval between when someone suspected of being AFK is given a captcha (in seconds)
/limitedafk logCommandUsage <true/false> Sets whether successful command executions are logged to the server console
/afklevel get <player> Gets the modified (or default) AFK detection level required for the specified player
/afklevel set <player> <LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH> Sets the modified AFK detection level required for the specified player
/afklevel reset <player> Resets the modified AFK detection level required for the specified player to the default value
