How to Exit AFK Mode and Earn Recurring Shards

The Donut Shards system encourages player engagement by granting recurring shard rewards over time. Staying active ensures you steadily accumulate currency to spend in the shop or trade with friends.

Earning Recurring Rewards

The plugin includes automated background routines that grant basic recurring shard rewards simply for remaining active on the server:

• Continue regular in-game activities such as building, exploring, or mining.
• Periodically check chat to see formatted notifications confirming your received shards.
• Check your growing balance at any time by typing /shards balance.

All earned shards are stored directly into the database, protecting your earnings during your play session.

Returning from AFK Status

If your character enters AFK mode, you may stop earning activity-based rewards until you return to active gameplay.

To resume normal active status:

1. Return to your game window.

2. Type /afk leave into the chat bar and press Enter.

Once you leave AFK mode, your character resumes active status and remains eligible for recurring shard rewards.
