AFK Module

Introduction

The AFK module allows a user to mark themselves as “away from keyboard”. This can be a manual process, or an automatic process after an admin defined number of seconds.

Configuration

There are two entries in the main.conf file in the afk section:

  • afktime: time in seconds that a player is inactive before the player automatically gets marked as AFK. Defaults to 300 seconds. Set to 0 to disable.
  • afktimetokick: time in seconds that a player is inactive before the player automatically gets kicked. Defaults to disabled - set to 0 to disable.

Per-user/group AFK limits

Nucleus also makes use of permission options to be able to set different limits on different groups. They are:

  • nucleus.afk.toggletime: the same as afktime in the configuration, but for a specific group.
  • nucleus.afk.kicktime: the same as afktimetokick in the configuration, but for a specific group.

Consult your permissions plugin for how to set these, for convenience, the relevant commands for popular plugins are below:

Note: using /afkrefresh

Because AFK has the potential to do a lot of permission checks, Nucleus caches player permissions for two minutes at a time. If you change a player’s group and it affects their AFK permissions, run /afkrefresh. Nucleus will discard the cache and recheck all permissions as needed.

The following are incompatibilities that may occur with this module, along with how to resolve the problem. For the full mod/plugin incompatibility list, see the compatibility page.

No plugin incompatibilities have been reported.

The following configuration is the default for this module:
                            # The amount of time, in seconds, of inactivity before the player will be marked as AFK. Set to 0 to disable, or use the permission "nucleus.afk.exempt.toggle".
afk-time=300
# The amount of time, in seconds, of inactivity before the player will be kicked. Set to 0 to disable, or use the permission "nucleus.afk.exempt.kick".
# 
# Note that this is not time since going AFK, but time since last activity. Setting this to the same value as "afktime" will cause someone who goesAFK to be kicked instantly.
afk-time-to-kick=0
# If true, any player that tries to use a command that might require the target to do something will be told if the target is AFK.
alert-on-command-send=true
# If true, the server will always announce when players go AFK, even when vanished. If false, players who are vanished and go AFK will not have this status broadcasted.
broadcast-afk-when-vanished=false
# If true, the server will be informed when a player is kicked for inactivity, else, just those with the nucleus.afk.notify permissions
broadcast-to-all-on-kick=true
