Newfie’s AFK adds a controlled /afk mode for servers. When enabled, the player is placed into spectator mode, locked in place, and prevented from using AFK as a combat-logging escape. The mod includes configurable combat cooldown checks, grounded-only activation, AFK permission support, and automatic return to survival when AFK is disabled.

The client-side camera feature is optional and local. It can rotate the camera around the AFK player for a cinematic idle view while leaving the server in control of the actual AFK state. Camera settings such as orbit speed, smoothness, and zoom behavior are configurable.

Main features:

  • /afk command
  • Custom afk privilege
  • Spectator AFK mode
  • Server-side position lock
  • Combat cooldown before AFK can be enabled
  • Optional cancel-AFK-on-damage behavior
  • Grounded-only activation
  • Configurable return gamemode
  • Optional client-side rotating AFK camera
  • Lightweight behavior: no constant damage polling
  • Configurable server and client settings

Hi, would you be able to release an update with a new feature?

The idea is this: when joining a server, it's very common for players to be killed by mobs before they've even fully loaded into the game. Their character spawns first, so they end up dying before they can do anything. It's really unfair. Could you add protection by automatically enabling AFK mode as soon as the player spawns? Spawn kills are incredibly frustrating.
