The AFK Plugin

1MinecraftLord1

I'm not sure if a thread about this has already been made but, personally I think the AFK plugin is causing some issues. Sure it is quite good in certain places so people can know. However in mini games like infected people could be banned for a stupid reason. If I'm hiding in infected for a few minutes without moving it makes me AFK and I have to move around so im added back in.

I just think this is unneeded in certain mini games and it has the potential to cause problems in the future. Thanks :)

Or at least lengthen the time it takes for you to be considered AFK, I get the message sometimes while typing a long message in chat.

I got the message while I was mid-sprint.
Somehow I was AFK while running.

This happens to me too. I think it's a glitch

Another issue in infected is that it makes the afk person invincible until the game is over, or they move. And there is also the problem with one of the best stratergies for infected is hinding, so it should either be disabeled, in infected, or just make the time it take to be afk be longer than the actual game.

You're not running fast enough.

This is something we will work on further to fine tune. Our aim is to allow normal gameplay, but to disallow people afking, especially in minigames, and being rewarded for putting no effort into the win/prize.

Ehh...I thinm nerf the AFK in minigames but not like Wild or Towny, etc. But a good nerf it would be.

A good idea for minigames like infected might be giving you a small warning before you are registred as afk, so you can move a bit before it happens. Then you can both prevent people afking and earning money and people don't turn afk and get an entire game ruined for them.
