Mo’Afks
🛡️ Mo’Afks lets players step away without worry. Type /afk, or stand idle for a few minutes, and your character goes into a safe AFK mode: nothing hurts or pushes you, mobs leave you alone, and you don’t keep the night from passing. Move, and you’re back.
What you get
- 🛡️ Nothing hurts or moves an AFK player: no damage, fire, drowning, or hunger, no knockback, and projectiles fly through. A fall into the void brings them back.
- 👻 Mobs leave them alone: nothing targets them, wardens don’t hear them, phantoms don’t come, and Bad Omen doesn’t start a raid.
- 🌙 AFK players don’t block the night. One friend away from the keyboard no longer keeps everyone in the dark.
- ⚖️ The protection doesn’t pay off. Nobody goes AFK mid-fight, mid-fall, or with a mob on their heels, and AFK players pick up no items or experience.
- 🔙 Coming back is up to the player. A key press, a click, or a chat line brings them back; water and pistons don’t. A dangerous spot moves them somewhere safe.
- 🌍 Every player reads their own language, picked by IP or by their own choice. English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and German come bundled.
- ✨ Everyone sees who’s away: a ring of particles and an [AFK] mark. Add a time limit with a kick if you want one; vanished players stay hidden.
- 🧩 It fits your server: PlaceholderAPI, TAB, MiniPlaceholders, and Plan if you have them, and
/moafks reload without a restart.
Get started
- Put the jar in
plugins/ of a Paper 26.3 server on Java 25. With itzg/minecraft-server, add moafks to MODRINTH_PROJECTS instead.
- Restart the server, join, and type
/afk making dinner.
- Read First steps to set the idle timer and the kick.
