Version: 2.9.3
Release Date: December 30, 2025
Compatibility: Minecraft 1.16 - 1.21.11
Java: 17+

AntiAFKPlus v2.9.1 — Pattern Detection Respecting Config

Release type: Bugfix Compatibility: Minecraft 1.16 – 1.21.10 | Java 17+

What's Fixed

• Pattern Detection now fully honors config/module toggles; disabling the module or enhanced-detection.pattern-detection stops analysis and prevents flags/actions.
• Detector uses all configured thresholds (interval, sample counts, repetitive/area limits, large-pool and keystroke toggles) instead of hardcoded defaults.
• /afkplus reload cleanly restarts or shuts down pattern analysis to reflect updated settings without a server restart.

Upgrade Notes

1. Replace the old JAR with AntiAFKPlus v2.9.1.
2. Reload with /afkplus reload or restart.
3. Verify your modules.pattern-detection and pattern-detection-settings values; they are now enforced.

Version: 2.9.1
Release Date: 15/11/2025
Compatibility: Minecraft 1.16 - 1.21.10
Java: 17+

AntiAFKPlus v2.9 — AFK Time Windows

What's New

🕒 AFK Time Windows

• Configurable Time Ranges: Define daily hour ranges where AFK actions are paused or modified

  
  

• Multiple Behaviors: Choose how the plugin handles AFK detection during configured windows:

  • SKIP_ACTIONS: Suppress all warnings, countdowns, and kicks
  • MESSAGE_ONLY: Suppress actions and send informational message
  • EXTEND_THRESHOLD: Delay final action by configurable seconds
  • DEFAULT: Normal AFK enforcement (used outside windows)

• Timezone Support: Use server timezone or specify any IANA timezone ID (e.g., America/New_York, Europe/London)

  
  

• Wrap-Around Ranges: Support for overnight ranges (e.g., 22:00-02:00)

  
  

• Bypass Permission: Staff can ignore windows with antiafkplus.window.bypass

  
  

📝 Configuration Example

afk-windows:
  enabled: true
  timezone: "SERVER"              # or explicit IANA ID like "America/New_York"
  ranges:
    - "08:00-12:00"
    - "20:00-23:00"
  behavior-inside-window: "SKIP_ACTIONS"
  behavior-outside-window: "DEFAULT"
  extend-seconds: 900             # used when behavior is EXTEND_THRESHOLD
  bypass-permission: "antiafkplus.window.bypass"

🎮 Use Cases

• Peak Hours Protection: Disable AFK kicks during busy server hours
• Event Periods: Pause AFK enforcement during special events
• Off-Hours Flexibility: Allow extended AFK times during late night/early morning
• Regional Adaptation: Use different timezones for international servers

🔧 Technical Details

• TimeWindowService: Minute-level granularity with intelligent caching

• Countdown/Transfer Compatibility: Pipelines and sequences respect window controls
• Reload Support: /afkplus reload updates window settings without restart

✨ New Permission

• antiafkplus.window.bypass: Allows players to ignore AFK windows and receive normal enforcement
  • Automatically included in antiafkplus.* wildcard
  • Useful for staff testing and development accounts

Compatibility

• Minecraft: 1.16 – 1.21.10
• Platforms: Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Folia
• Java: 17+
• Backward Compatible: All existing configurations work without changes

Upgrade Notes

1. Replace the old JAR with AntiAFKPlus v2.9
2. Optional: Configure afk-windows section in config.yml to enable time-based protection
3. Optional: Customize the afk-window-active message in messages.yml for localization
4. Update your dependency to 2.9 if using the API:
   
   

   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.github.koyere</groupId>
       <artifactId>AntiAFKPlus</artifactId>
       <version>2.9</version>
       <scope>provided</scope>
   </dependency>
   

   
   

No configuration changes are required. The plugin works with your existing setup. AFK windows are disabled by default.

For Developers

API Version: 2.9 (unchanged from 2.8, no breaking changes)

The time window system is internal and transparent to the API. Developers using the API will benefit from the improved flexibility without code changes.

Version: 2.9 Release Date: 14/11/2025 Compatibility: Minecraft 1.16 - 1.21.10 Java: 17+

AntiAFKPlus v2.8.2 (Hotfix Rollup)

Bug Fixes

• Pause-aware scheduling – Introduced a shared ServerStateUtil and wrapped every repeating task scheduled through PlatformScheduler so they no longer spin while Paper/Folia is paused or running in auto-pause mode. This eliminates the repeated CPU spikes reported when the server was suspended.
• Stable transfer countdowns – Countdown sequences now persist their start timestamp and AFK state. Players that have not produced real activity after the countdown started will no longer flip back to ACTIVE each tick, so the “title disable kick / activity detected loop” is gone and the final action fires exactly once.

These fixes are fully backwards compatible with the v2.8 API—only internal scheduling and AFK state transitions were touched.

AntiAFKPlus v2.8.1 - Critical Threading Fix

Release Date: 2025-10-20 Type: Bugfix Release Compatibility: Paper 1.21.8, Spigot, Folia, Purpur (MC 1.16-1.21.8)

🔧 Critical Fixes

Pattern Detection Event Threading (Paper 1.21.8 Compatibility)

Issue: Pattern detection events were being fired asynchronously, causing IllegalStateException on Paper 1.21.8 and preventing external API listeners from receiving events.

Fixed:

• ✅ All Bukkit events now fire synchronously on main thread (Paper 1.21.8 requirement)
• ✅ Eliminated async entity access (player.getLocation() now called in main thread)
• ✅ Converted internal data structures to thread-safe collections (ConcurrentHashMap/ConcurrentLinkedDeque)
• ✅ Implemented atomic operations for violation counters to prevent race conditions
• ✅ Added proper player disconnect handling during async analysis

Impact:

• External plugins using api.registerPatternDetectionListener() now receive events correctly
• Zero threading exceptions in Paper 1.21.8+
• Maintained performance (heavy analysis still runs asynchronously)

Files Changed:

• PatternDetector.java - Complete threading model refactor

📊 Performance

• ✅ Zero performance regression - Pattern analysis remains asynchronous
• ✅ Thread-safe operations - All concurrent access properly synchronized
• ✅ Folia compatible - Uses runTaskForEntity for player-specific operations

🔗 API Compatibility

Fully compatible with v2.8 API - No breaking changes for developers.

Developers can now safely use:

AntiAFKPlusAPI api = AntiAFKPlusAPI.getInstance();
api.registerPatternDetectionListener(event -> {
    // This now works correctly on Paper 1.21.8+
    System.out.println("Pattern detected: " + event.getPattern().getType());
});

AntiAFKPlus v2.8 — API Overhaul

Release type: Feature & API Upgrade Compatibility: Minecraft 1.16 – 1.21.10 | Java 17+

What's New

📊 Real Data Everywhere

• Activity, history, and statistics endpoints now return live server data.
• getActivityInfo, getActivityStatistics, getAFKStatistics, getPlayerStatistics, and getAFKHistory consume the internal tracking system (no more placeholders).

🚦 Reliable Events

• AFK warnings and pattern detections are always delivered to the public API.
• Listeners (registerWarningListener, registerPatternDetectionListener) can modify messages or cancel actions before the plugin kicks/teleports players.

🗺️ Zone Awareness

• New helpers (isAFKAllowedAt, getAFKZoneAt) resolve zone-management settings and WorldGuard regions on the fly.
• Worlds can be toggled at runtime with setAFKDetectionEnabled, persisting the change to config.yml.

⚙️ Ease of Use

• README/API docs include updated examples for the new endpoints (activity, zones, stats).
• API version bumped to 2.8, ready for your integrations.

Upgrade Notes

1. Replace the old JAR with AntiAFKPlus v2.8.
2. Update your dependency to 2.8 (Maven/Gradle snippet in the README).
3. Review the new API examples and adjust your listeners if you want to react to warnings/patterns.

No configuration changes are required. Everything works with your existing config.yml / messages.yml.

AntiAFKPlus v2.7 — Critical Bug Fixes

Release type: Bug Fix Release Compatibility: Minecraft 1.16 – 1.21.9+ | Java 17+

What's Fixed

Credit System Teleportation (CRITICAL FIX)
Problem: AFK zone teleportation worked only 1-2 times, then stopped working. Players would see AFK warnings but never get teleported.

Solution: Fixed credit system logic to properly teleport players when credits are exhausted.

What this means for you:

• ✅ AFK zone teleportation now works consistently every time
• ✅ Credits consume properly minute-by-minute while AFK
• ✅ Players are automatically teleported when credits reach zero
• ✅ No more "stuck" players who see warnings but never get moved

Disabled Worlds Cleanup (CRITICAL FIX)

Problem: Players still received AFK warnings in disabled worlds, even when those worlds were added to disabled-worlds configuration.

Solution: Plugin now completely clears AFK state when players enter disabled worlds.

What this means for you:

• ✅ No more AFK warnings in disabled worlds
• ✅ AFK state is automatically cleared when entering disabled worlds
• ✅ Works correctly with both disabled-worlds and enabled-worlds configuration
• ✅ Players can safely AFK in designated worlds without interference

Pattern Detection Errors (TECHNICAL FIX)

Problem: Server logs showed ConcurrentModificationException errors during pattern analysis.

Solution: Implemented thread-safe pattern detection across all detection methods.

What this means for you:

• ✅ Clean server logs without errors
• ✅ Pattern detection (water circles, large pools, confined spaces) works flawlessly
• ✅ Better server stability and performance
• ✅ No more error spam in console

⚙️ Credit System Isolation (ENHANCEMENT)
Problem: Credit system could potentially interfere with standard AFK detection even when disabled.

Solution: Complete isolation of credit system when disabled in configuration.

What this means for you:

• ✅ Zero performance overhead when credit system is disabled
• ✅ Standard AFK detection works perfectly without credit system
• ✅ Full backwards compatibility with previous configurations
• ✅ Better resource efficiency

Configuration Examples
Fix #1: Enable AFK Zone Teleportation with Credits

modules:
  credit-system:
    enabled: true
credit-system:
  enabled: true
  afk-zone:
    enabled: true
    world: "world"
    location: "0,100,0"

Fix #2: Disable AFK Detection in Specific Worlds

disabled-worlds:
 - "luna-afk-1"
  - "creative-world"
  - "lobby"

Upgrade Instructions

1. Backup your current config.yml and messages.yml
2. Replace old plugin JAR with AntiAFKPlus v2.7
3. Restart your server
4. Test AFK teleportation and disabled worlds functionality

No configuration changes required - all fixes are automatic!

For Server Owners
Critical Fixes:

• AFK zone teleportation now reliable and consistent
• Disabled worlds work as expected (no more false warnings)
• Eliminated concurrent modification errors in logs
• Credit system properly isolated when disabled

Performance:

• Thread-safe operations throughout pattern detection
• Reduced resource usage when credit system is disabled
• Cleaner logs and better stability

Compatibility:

• 100% backwards compatible with v2.6 and v2.5 configurations

Version: 2.7 Release Date: October 12, 2025 Type: Critical Bug Fix Release

What’s New

Server Transfer (Bungee/Velocity)

• Native final action TRANSFER_SERVER to move AFK players to another server via Plugin Messaging.
• Global configuration with robust channel handling and optional retry policy.
• Zone-based overrides: per-zone transfer with kick-action: TRANSFER and transfer-server.

Countdown & Titles/Sounds

• Optional per-second countdown with Title/Subtitle and Sound before transferring.
• Fully Folia-safe with entity-bound scheduling.
• Auto-cancels if the player becomes active.

Scripted Action Pipeline

• New pipeline engine to run steps in order: TITLE, SUBTITLE, SOUND, MESSAGE, WAIT, TRANSFER.
• Configurable in config.yml with simple DSL-like syntax.
• Cancels automatically when leaving AFK.

Robustness & Fallbacks

• Auto-registration of BungeeCord and bungeecord:main channels.
• Channel selection: auto | bungeecord | namespaced.
• Fallback actions: KICK | TELEPORT | NONE with optional teleport location.

How It Works (Action Order)

1. 
   
2. Credit System: If credits exist, the kick event is cancelled and credits are consumed; no transfer runs.
3. Zone Management: Zone kick-action takes priority (TELEPORT, TRANSFER, etc.).
4. Global Transfer: If enabled and a target-server is configured, TRANSFER_SERVER is used by default.

If the player becomes active mid-flow, any countdown/pipeline is cancelled.

Configuration

Global settings:

server-transfer:
  enabled: true
  target-server: "lobby"
  proxy-channel: "auto"        # auto | bungeecord | namespaced

  # Fallbacks
  fallback-action: "KICK"      # KICK | TELEPORT | NONE
  fallback-teleport-location: "world,0,100,0"

  # Retry policy
  retry-attempts: 0
  retry-delay-ticks: 10

  # Countdown
  countdown:
    enabled: false
    seconds: 10
    title: "&cYou are AFK"
    subtitle: "&eMoving in {seconds}s"
    sound:
      enabled: true
      name: "ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP"
      volume: 1.0
      pitch: 1.0

  # Scripted pipeline
  pipeline:
    enabled: false
  actions:
    - "TITLE: &cYou are AFK"
    - "SUBTITLE: &eMoving in {seconds}s"
    - "SOUND: ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP,1.0,1.0"
    - "WAIT: 1s"
    - "MESSAGE: &7Transferring..."
    - "TRANSFER: lobby"

Zone-based transfer example:

zone-management:
  enabled: true
  zones:
    spawn:
      kick-action: "TRANSFER"
      transfer-server: "lobby"

Messages
Add or customize in messages.yml:

messages:
  server-transfer:
    transferring: "&7[AntiAFK+] &aTransferring you to &f{server}&a..."
    unavailable: "&7[AntiAFK+] &cServer transfer unavailable."
    failed: "&7[AntiAFK+] &cCould not transfer you."

Permissions & Commands
No new commands or permissions in v2.6. The feature is fully configurable via config.yml.

Compatibility & Notes

• BungeeCord and Velocity (Bungee compatibility) via Plugin Messaging.
• Folia-safe scheduling through PlatformScheduler; no BukkitScheduler in Folia context.
• Fully backward compatible; disabled by default.

Migration

• No breaking changes. Existing configurations remain valid.
• To enable: set server-transfer.enabled: true and configure target-server.

Testing Checklist

• Validate transfer on Bungee/Velocity with correct target-server names.
• Try countdown and pipeline separately.
• Confirm fallback behavior (KICK/TELEPORT/NONE) when channels are unavailable.
• Verify zone-based TRANSFER overrides global behavior.

AntiAFKPlus v2.5 — Release Notes

AFK Credit System - Earn Time to Be Away

New Feature Overview

Revolutionary AFK Credit System: Players can now earn AFK time by being active! For every X minutes of active gameplay, players earn Y minutes of AFK allowance before being teleported to a designated AFK zone.

What’s New
1. AFK Credit Earning System

• Players earn AFK credits by being actively engaged in gameplay
• Configurable credit ratios based on permissions (default: 5 minutes active = 1 minute AFK credit)
• Real-time credit accumulation tracking with activity validation
• Maximum credit limits to prevent indefinite accumulation

2. Credit-Based AFK Protection

• When a player goes AFK, the system first consumes available credits
• Credits provide immunity from immediate kick/teleportation
• Once credits are exhausted, player is teleported to designated AFK zone
• Smooth transition from credit consumption to zone teleportation

AFK Credit System

• Earn credits while active; consume credits to delay AFK action.
• Teleport to AFK zone when credits are exhausted; /afkback returns you.

WorldGuard Integration

• Zones resolved from regions (reflection, no hard dependency).
• Teleport priority: zones.afk → zones.spawn → credit-system.afk-zone.

AFK Zone Protection

• Optional damage/PVP/mob-spawn protections near the AFK zone.

SQL History (Optional)

• Track earn/consume/admin/decay transactions when SQL is enabled.

New Placeholder

• %antiafkplus_credits_expire_days% — days until credits expire.

How It Works

1. Active players earn credits (ratio-based) up to a configurable cap.
2. When AFK is detected, 1 credit/minute is consumed to delay the action.
3. At 0 credits, the player is teleported to the AFK zone; /afkback returns them.

Permissions (declared)

• antiafkplus.credit.earn — earn credits (default true)
• antiafkplus.credit.use — use credits to delay AFK action (default true)
• antiafkplus.credit.ratio.vip|premium|admin — improved ratios (default false/op)
• antiafkplus.credit.admin — full credit administration

Execution Flow

1. Active player earns credits according to ratio and limits.
2. On AFK, if credits available → cancel action and consume 1/min.
3. On activity → stop consumption (no teleport).
4. On exhaustion → teleport to AFK zone (zone‑management if present; fallback to credit-system.afk-zone).

Compatibility & Performance

• Folia‑safe (no BukkitScheduler in Folia context).
• No changes to AFKManager loop (event‑driven).
• Earning: one global job/min; consumption: per‑player task while AFK with balance.
• Respects antiafkplus.bypass.

Credit System Logic Flow

1. Credit Earning Process:

Player Active (5 minutes) → Activity Validation → Credit Calculation → Credit Award
↓
Activity Score Check → Pattern Detection → Anti-Abuse Validation → Credit Storage

2. AFK Detection with Credits:

Player Goes AFK → Check Credit Balance → Has Credits?
↓
Yes: Consume Credits → Continue Monitoring
↓
No: Save Location → Teleport to AFK Zone → Enable Return Command

3. Return Process:

Player Uses /afkback → Validate in AFK Zone → Check Original Location Safety
↓
Safe: Teleport Back → Clear AFK Status → Success Message
↓
Unsafe: Teleport to Spawn → Warning Message

AntiAFKPlus v2.4.2 Changelog

Complete Folia 1.21.8 Compatibility

Problem Resolved
Issue: The plugin failed to initialize on Folia 1.21.8 with UnsupportedOperationException (due to BukkitScheduler usage) and reflection errors in runAtFixedRate.

Root Cause: PlatformScheduler was using incorrect method signatures for Folia's GlobalRegionScheduler API, causing reflection failures during task scheduling.

Technical Solution Implemented

Correct Folia Method Signatures

• Before: runAtFixedRate(plugin.getClass(), Consumer.class, long.class, long.class, TimeUnit.class)
• After: runAtFixedRate(Plugin.class, Consumer.class, long.class, long.class)
• Key: no TimeUnit parameter and timing in ticks directly (no ms conversion)

️ Stronger Fallback

• Always create a ScheduledExecutorService fallback before reflection
• Graceful degradation if native Folia API fails
• Dedicated daemon thread pool for fallback operations

⚡ Additional API Fixes

• Adjusted runDelayed and run signatures for single-execution tasks
• Corrected RegionScheduler and EntityScheduler parameter types
• Consistent use of Consumer<ScheduledTask>

What’s Fixed

• ✅ Full Folia 1.21.8 compatibility: initializes and runs correctly
• ✅ No UnsupportedOperationException: removed BukkitScheduler usage in Folia context
• ✅ Timers and tasks migrated to PlatformScheduler: pattern analysis, detectors and checks operational
• ✅ Commands and AFK detection working
• ✅ Zero impact on other servers: Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur unchanged

Compatibility

• Paper/Spigot/Bukkit: ✅ unchanged, functionality preserved
• Purpur: ✅ compatible via Paper base
• Folia 1.21.8+: ✅ complete native support with correct API usage

Version: 2.4.2
Release Date: 2025-09-09
Compatibility: Minecraft 1.16 - 1.21.8
Java: 17+

• No configuration changes required
• Fully backward compatible
• Simply replace the JAR file and restart your server

AntiAFKPlus v2.4 Changelog

🎯 Large AFK Pool Detection Enhancement

Problem Identified

Issue: Players were bypassing AFK detection by creating large AFK pools (20x10+ blocks) that circumvented existing detection systems.

Root Cause:

• Current detection focused on small confined spaces (≤5x5 blocks) and water circles (≤3 block radius)
• Large pools allowed players to move naturally via water currents without manual input
• System detected movement but couldn't distinguish between manual keystrokes and automatic water current movement

Solution Implemented

🔧 New Detection Features

1. Keystroke Timeout Detection

• Added detection for players who don't provide manual keyboard input for extended periods
• Distinguishes between manual WASD movement and automatic water current movement
• Configurable timeout threshold (default: 3 minutes)

2. Large AFK Pool Pattern Recognition

• Expanded detection to identify pools between 5x5 and 25x25 blocks
• Analyzes movement patterns to identify water current automation
• Multi-factor validation prevents false positives

3. Enhanced Movement Analysis

• Velocity analysis to detect consistent water current speeds
• Direction change analysis to identify artificial vs natural movement
• Automatic vs manual movement classification

📋 Technical Changes

Files Modified:

• MovementListener.java: Added keystroke detection and movement analysis
• PatternDetector.java: Implemented large pool detection algorithms
• config.yml: Added configuration options for new detection methods

New Configuration Options:

pattern-detection-settings:
  large-pool-threshold: 25.0  # Maximum area for large AFK pools
  keystroke-timeout-ms: 180000  # 3 minutes without manual input
  automatic-movement-velocity-threshold: 0.15  # Water current detection

🎮 Detection Logic

Large AFK Pool Detection Criteria:

1. Movement area > 5x5 but < 25x25 blocks
2. Player in water for extended periods
3. Movement patterns consistent with water currents
4. No manual keystrokes detected for 3+ minutes

Only triggers AFK when ALL criteria are met, ensuring legitimate gameplay is not affected.

✅ Benefits

• Closes bypass loophole: Large AFK pools (20x10+) are now detected effectively
• Maintains accuracy: Multi-factor validation prevents false positives
• Configurable: Server owners can adjust thresholds based on their needs
• Performance optimized: Minimal impact on server performance
• Backward compatible: All existing detection methods remain unchanged
