AfkZonePlugin

AfkZone

AfkZone sends players to a designated AFK zone when they go AFK and returns them to their previous location when they become active again. It works together with EssentialsX and uses its AFK detection, so no extra setup is needed for AFK tracking.

Features

• Teleports players to the AFK zone when they go AFK, either with /afk or automatically after the EssentialsX timeout.
• Returns players to their previous location when they move, send a chat message, or otherwise cancel AFK.
• If a player logs out while in the AFK zone, they are returned to their previous location on their next join.
• Saves pending returns to disk, so they survive server restarts.
• Customizable messages with color codes in config.yml.

Commands

Command · Description · Permission
/afkzone · Sets the AFK zone to the administrator's current position · afkzone.admin (OP by default)

Installation

1. Install EssentialsX on your server.
2. Place AfkZone-1.0.jar into the plugins folder.
3. Restart the server.
4. Stand where you want the AFK zone to be and run /afkzone.

Configuration

The file is located at plugins/AfkZone/config.yml:

• afk-zone: world and coordinates of the AFK zone (set automatically by /afkzone).
• messages: text of all plugin messages. Color codes use the & symbol, for example &e for yellow.

Requirements

• Paper 26.2
• EssentialsX up to plugin version 1.2
• Java 25

Notes

• EssentialsX is required, since AfkZone uses its AFK status event.
• If the server crashes while a player is AFK, their previous location may not be saved.
