Prevent Being Marked Away During Legitimate Play

Keep Moving to Stay Active

The plugin requires actual key input to keep you marked active. Simply standing still—even if you're at your base or AFK fishing—will eventually mark you as away.

  • Hold a movement key (forward, backward, or strafe) to stay active.
  • Use items continuously (fishing, eating, drawing a bow) to register activity.
  • Break or place blocks periodically if you're working on a project.

Chat Counts Too

If you're actively chatting with other players, each message resets your idle timer. This is useful if you're socializing but not moving around.

Understand the One-Second Window

The plugin checks your inputs every second. You don't need to move constantly—just provide some input within each check window. Brief pauses between actions won't mark you away, but prolonged inactivity will.

Fishing and Item Interactions

The plugin specifically recognizes fishing and held-button interactions, so you can stay marked active while fishing without needing to move.
