Sessility
by bytzo
With Sessility, a Fabric server can mark players who have stood idle too long as sessile, and those players can be shown in a distinct color in the tab list.
What it does
Sessility tracks which players are sessile, meaning they have been idle longer than a configured threshold, with 120 seconds as the default. Players who move again are returned to the motile state. The state is kept per player and updated while the server runs, so a player who goes AFK for a long stretch is recognized without any manual command.
Server owners can choose which player rotation counts as motility, so looking around alone can leave a player sessile or not. In the player tab overlay, idle players can be shown in a color of their own, dropped from the server player list and count, or excluded from the sleeping requirement. Each of these properties is toggled individually.
Sessility is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it needs Fabric. Files are published for Fabric alone, across 28 release versions 1.19 – 26.3, with 0.7.12 for 26.3 as the latest. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Idle time threshold
The time before a player counts as sessile is configurable, and the default is 120 seconds.
Tab list color
Idle players are drawn in a separate tab overlay color, and both the idle threshold and that color can be adjusted in the config.
Sleeping requirement exclusion
Sessile players can be excluded from the sleeping requirement, so idle players do not block the night from passing.
Custom state messages
Chat messages can be broadcast when a player becomes sessile or motile, using custom text, and are disabled by default.
