Idler Mod for Automatic Management of Inactive Players

Idler provides a specialized solution for Minecraft servers that automatically detects and handles players who haven't shown activity for extended periods. All session time data is saved in the config/idler/last_played.txt file, with all file operations performed in a separate thread to ensure server stability.

How the Activity Tracking System Works

The mod continuously monitors the following player actions:

• Joining the server
• Movement between locations
• Camera rotation
• Block breaking and placement
• Item and tool usage

Important: All changes to the file system are made according to an automatic save schedule, preventing potential performance issues.

Configuration Settings

The configuration file allows flexible customization of operation parameters:

{
  "idle-timeout": 300,
  "start-kick-free-slots": "21"
}

Parameter explanations:

• idle-timeout - time in seconds before automatic disconnection of inactive players
• start-kick-free-slots - number of free slots at which the mod begins disconnecting inactive participants

Permission and Command System

Access Rights

• idler.afk - grants the ability to enter AFK mode

Available Commands

• /afk - toggles the user's status (active/inactive). The player won't be disconnected until the established timeout expires.

Additional feature: When a player enters AFK mode, their name in the participant list changes color to gray, allowing administrators to quickly identify inactive users.
