Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I'm marked as away?
When you stop providing input (movement keys, chat, block interactions), the plugin marks you away and announces it in chat. You'll see your idle time displayed in the TAB player list next to your name, showing how many minutes or hours you've been inactive.
What counts as activity so I don't go away?
The plugin detects forward, backward, strafe, jump, sneak, and sprint key presses checked every second. It also recognizes chat messages, block placement, block breaking, fishing, and item interactions—so you stay marked active as long as you're doing any of these things.
Will I get kicked if I'm away too long?
No, the plugin never kicks, freezes, or restricts players. It only marks you away in the TAB list and announces your status in chat—you can stay idle as long as you want without consequences.
Why am I marked away when I'm actually playing?
If you're only looking around with your mouse or standing still, the plugin won't detect activity. Make sure you're pressing movement keys, interacting with blocks, fishing, or using items—holding down a movement key for a few seconds should keep you marked active.
