/afk not disabling pvp (bug)

Bug: /afk not disabling pvp (bug)

IGN: Aarett

Date of Bug: 1/16/17

Summary of Bug: I type /afk and get the notification that pvp is off. I go away. I come back to have been killed and looted (furnaces empty as well). This was in the wild, so I don't think I can get my stuff back, but I would just like to report the incident.

Evidence of Bug: n/a, however it could easily be tested

Additional information: It is possible that I was burned with lava taken from my own furnace as it was missing when I was back.

 

There is currently a way to force a player out of the AFK status, by placing water on or near them. Should it flow, the water will move the player and it will appear to the game that said player moved by themselves and thus is no longer AFK. However, I was collecting evidence on a duping case two days ago and was forced to utilize /afk to make myself invincible to the suspect players, which were attacking me, and it worked perfectly. Is it possible that you were otherwise forced out of the invincibility state?

 

Alright, so Im checking the logs of how you died and it said you died by lava. I tested /afk to see if you take damage when /afk. You don't take any damage at all when doing /afk, so you must have moved and that took you out of afk. The only way you can get out of afk is if someone was with you and forced you out of it.
