Nick AFK Party Pack
Small Spigot plugin coded up in a day to add nicknames and AFK status for Minecraft 1.18.
REQUIRES PROTOCOLLIB PLUGIN (DEV BUILD FOR 1.18)
Features
- Show nicknames above player heads, in tab list, in chat, and in player join/leave messages
- Nicknames support spaces.
- Show AFK status in tab list, and optionally above player heads (see caveat below)
- Broadcast message when player goes AFK.
- AFK status automatically removed when player moves their mouse (camera) or types in chat.
- Players auto AFK after configurable amount of time (can be disabled).
- AFK players auto-kicked after configurable amount of time (can be disabled).
- Administrator commands to nick/unnick other player
Caveats
- Nicknames are limited to 16 characters as this is the maximum allowed above player heads (yes this can be upped to 48 with scoreboards but I chose not to add this for better plugin compatibility).
- If showing AFK status above player head is enabled and a player's username/nickname is longer than 10 characters, their nicknames will be truncated to 9 characters due to limitation above.
- Player will flicker for ~2 ticks when their AFK status or nickname changes.
Compatibility
- This plugin doesn't touch scoreboards, so any plugins using that should work fine.
- Probably not compatible with other mods which inject data into Play.Server.PLAYER_INFO packets or depend on those packets not being sent randomly.
