AFK Player Timer
by Dark_Zitr0x
AFK Player Timer shows a timer above a player's head once that player has stayed inactive for a set time, so others can see how long they have been away.
What it does
The mod tracks inactivity from movement, camera turns, inventory use, mouse clicks, item use and chat messages. Only the activity sources that are switched on in the configuration count, so the detection can be made as strict or as loose as a player wants. When no tracked activity occurs for the configured delay, a timer appears above the player's head and counts how long the player has been away.
AFK Player Timer is a client-side mod for Fabric, with files for 26.1.2 and earlier builds back to 1.20. Only the client needs it, and it has to run alongside Fabric API, which is required. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source, and its builds cover 1.20 – 26.1.2 across 22 release versions.
Key features
Inactivity timer above players
A timer appears above an inactive player's head and shows the current AFK time, so the length of someone's absence is visible at a glance.
Adjustable appearance delay
The delay before the timer shows can be set anywhere from 1 to 60 seconds, so players can choose how quickly it appears.
Optional activity sources
Each of the inventory, mouse click, item use and chat indicators can be turned on separately, so detection depends on the chosen settings.
Damage handling option
An optional setting keeps taking damage from resetting the AFK timer, which is useful when a player is standing still under attack.
Configuration screen
A configuration screen shows the current AFK time directly inside the GUI, with the indicators and delay options in one place.
