AFK detection and visuals so your friends can know if you're away, tabbed out or... crashing.
⬇ Download on Modrinthafkmon
This mod adds AFK, tabbed out and crashing detection and displays it around you and your friends with rings.
Rings will show:
- AFK, if the player hasnt moved, or moved their cursor in over 90s.
- Tabbed out, if the player is tabbed out from the game.
- Timing out, if their game hasnt responded in over 5s.
For the player that's AFK, a timer shows on their screen with how long they've been AFK for. Notifications also show up in the chat for everyone.
You need the mod installed both on server and client.
