What it does

On a server running BTA Babric, BTAFK announces when a player becomes AFK and when that player is active again. It also posts a message when someone joins for the first time. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it is published for b1.7.3 only. Snapshot builds are published alongside releases. The code is shared under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, which means it is not open source.

Key features

  1. AFK status messages

    Chat notices appear when a player becomes AFK and again when that player stops being AFK.

  2. First join greetings

    New players receive a message when they join a server for the first time.

  3. Configurable messages

    Most options can be configured, including the text of each message and which features are switched on.
