Just-AFK
by Astronja
Just-AFK gives players a temporary invulnerable state when they step away from the keyboard, and it blocks movement until they return.
What it does
Players who stop playing can use the afk command on a server running Just-AFK. While the state is active the player is invulnerable, takes no damage, and cannot move: velocity is zeroed and position and rotation are snapped back each tick. Activity is detected automatically, so keyboard input, mouse movement, and attack, use or break interactions end the state without any command.
Other players are informed as well. Chat broadcasts announce when someone goes AFK and when they return, a title on screen gives the player a periodic reminder while away, and the tab list marks AFK names in grey italics. The mod is installed on the server only and the client needs nothing added.
Just-AFK is built for Fabric Loader on Minecraft 1.21.11. The current file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, published 2026-06-13, and the first release came out on 2026-06-01. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Invulnerable while away
An AFK player is protected from damage for as long as the state lasts, so a server can leave a seat or spot occupied.
Movement lock
Velocity is zeroed and the position and rotation are reset every tick, which keeps the player in place.
Automatic return
Keyboard input, mouse movement and attack, use or break interactions end the AFK state without a command.
Tab list and chat notices
AFK names appear in grey italics in the tab list, and chat messages tell other players when someone leaves or comes back.

Use cases
Idle seats on busy servers

Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric on Minecraft 1.21.11 who want an AFK command that protects and fixes the player in place.
