Away From Crafting (AFC)
by TheManZooper
Away From Crafting, or AFC, is a NeoForge mod that lets a player go idle in a multiplayer world while the character keeps a set of effects.
What it does
While a player is away from keyboard, the character gains Resistance V and Invisibility but loses hunger over time. The state lasts until the player moves, interacts with or breaks and places a block, or interacts with a mob. Hitting a mob while idle causes the player to take a hit in return. The mod is built for multiplayer servers where players need to stay logged in without staying active.
Key features
Idle protection
An idle player receives Resistance V and Invisibility, which can help a character stay safe while away.
Hunger cost
The idle state drains hunger, so a player cannot stay away indefinitely without food.
Automatic return to active
Moving, interacting with or breaking and placing blocks, or interacting with a mob ends the idle state.

What the author says
When the player is AFK, they will get Resistance V, Invisibility, and will not lose hunger. This will stay active until they either toggle it, move, interact with/break/place a block, interact with a mob, hit a mob, or get hit! to see what it is currently set to! To turn it off, just set the time to 0 seconds.
