What Happens While AFK
- [AFK] is shown with your name in the player list and above your character.
- Your position and view direction are locked, and normal gameplay actions such as combat, block use, inventories, item movement, projectiles, teleports, and portals are blocked.
- The server announces when you go AFK and when you return.
- After a short delay, you become protected from normal damage while still AFK.
- Your existing rank, team, tab-list formatting, and team mechanics remain intact and return normally when AFK mode ends.
- AFK status is cleared safely on death, disconnect, or an administrator removal.
Recommended Use
- Move to a safe location before going AFK.
- Run
/afkand wait for the protection confirmation. - When you return, run
/afkagain before trying to move.
Important Notes
Protection is delayed. Do not assume you are immediately invincible the moment you type
/afk.Automatic AFK detection is optional and may be disabled by the server. When you enter AFK manually, use
/afk again to return; ordinary movement does not clear the lock.
