AFK Manager Plus+
AFK Manager Plus+ lets server owners watch idle players in real time and remove those who stay inactive too long, with settings for exemptions and safe zones.
What it does
Staff can see which players are AFK, how often each one has gone idle, and mark them clearly in the player list opened with TAB. Automatic kicks remove players who stay inactive past a limit set in the anti afk.json config file. Kicks can be disabled in specific dimensions, and safe zones let players idle without being removed.
High-permission players and server owners can be exempted from kicks, so administrators, staff and builders are not removed while working. The mod is aimed at servers that want to clear out inactivity without harming the experience of active players. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files cover Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 13 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.2, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Real-time AFK status
The AFK state of each player is shown directly in game, and idle players are marked clearly in the player list.
Automatic kicks
Players who stay inactive past the configured time are removed from the server without manual action.
Configurable behavior
The anti afk.json file controls the kick rules, and the settings can be changed to suit a specific server.
Exemptions and safe zones
Server owners and high-permission players are protected, dimensions can be excluded, and safe zones let players stay idle.
AFK history
The mod records how many times each player has gone AFK, so staff can see repeated inactivity.
