Minecraft plugin AxAFKZone

🔌 About AxAFKZone

AxAFKZone — is a Minecraft plugin that allows server administrators to create dedicated AFK zones (pools) and reward AFK players with items or command rewards. AxAFKZone focuses on lightweight performance and simple configuration while providing reward messages and UI options (bossbar/actionbar/chat).

🎯 Purpose

AxAFKZone addresses the need to safely let players be AFK without disrupting gameplay flow by isolating AFK players into zones and optionally giving periodic rewards. AxAFKZone is useful where servers want to incentivize AFK time (e.g., economy accrual, passive rewards) while keeping the main world unaffected. ()

⚙ Core features

• Create unlimited AFK zones (AxAFKZone supports multiple named zones). ()
• Item rewards and command rewards (commands can be run as rewards). ()
• Reward messages via chat, bossbar, and actionbar. ()
• Randomized and multiple reward rolls (chance settings). ()
• Lightweight and performant implementation. ()
• Smart reloading: zone data persists across plugin reloads without resetting AFK timers. ()

🧩 Target servers

AxAFKZone fits servers running Spigot/Paper‑type server cores that need a focused AFK reward system (survival, economy, or mini‑hub projects). Supported Minecraft versions and Java requirements are published on the official distribution. ()

🏗 Usage examples

• Create a dedicated AFK pool on a hub server and reward players small item bundles each X minutes.
• Use AxAFKZone to gate AFK rewards behind zone permissions and limit per‑IP AFK counts.
• Configure bossbar/actionbar messages to notify players of next reward timing.

⌨️ Commands

Note: The official documentation explicitly documents /axafkzone wand and /axafkzone create <name> for zone creation. Other commands likely exist but are not fully listed in the official pages consulted. ()

🔐 Permissions

⚙ Installation

📥 Install

• Download the AxAFKZone .jar from the official resource (Spigot/GitHub).
• Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
• Fully restart the server (do not use /reload).
• On first run AxAFKZone generates its plugin folder and zone files. ()

📦 Dependencies

• No external plugin dependencies required (AxAFKZone uses a built‑in selection wand and has no mandatory dependencies according to the documentation). ()

🧾 Configuration

• AxAFKZone creates a plugins/AxAFKZone/ folder and per‑zone YAML files (plugins/AxAFKZone/zones/.yml) for reward configuration. ()
• The main config is small and intended to be simple (documentation states under ~150 lines). Editing reward files is necessary to add item/command rewards. ()
• No official MySQL/SQLite database support is documented; the plugin uses file‑based zone.yml files. If database support is required, official docs do not list it. ()

🧠 Additional information

• Known limitations: AxAFKZone is focused on single‑server AFK zones and file‑based configuration; cross‑server reward sync (proxy/velocity) or inventory sync across servers is not documented. Some users requested cross‑server sync features in reviews. ()
• Telemetry: AxAFKZone appears on bStats under the author listing (plugin likely uses bStats for anonymous metrics). ()
• Support channels: Official documentation and Spigot resource pages are primary sources; Discord/support links are not listed in the official docs consulted. ()
