NoSpawnerForAfk promotes active players, instead of having them idling AFK at spawners for mob drops.
This plugin blocks any spawner from spawning when all of the nearby players are AFK but does not interfere when a nearby player is active.
This facility is not available natively in Essentials, hence this plugin. The plugin is simple and lightweight, sticking to its one job, which isn't overly complex.
Installation
Move the downloaded NoSpawnerForAfk jar file to the server's plugins folder.
Dependencies
NoSpawnerForAfk reads the AFK status from Essentials. NoSpawnerForAfk will not work without the Essentials plugin also being installed. This plugin was built with the EssentialsX fork of Essentials. I expect that it would work with other forks but this is not tested.
NoSpawnerForAfk blocks spawns from natural/vanilla spawners, EpicSpawners, SilkSpawners and MineableSpawners.
