    Thread Title:
    A new way to make afk to prevent autofarms
    Minecraft Name:
    SplotchyJester2
    Suggestion:
    This thread is mainly to KHobbits for making it after 10 minutes of not moving and not talking you are automatically AFK, and while AFK you cannot collect objects, instead they are automatically disposed, meaning you cant afk farm
    .Reason:
    Afk farming is bad to the economy, this would help prevent it and people usually are AFK but dont do /ch afk
    Other Information:
    Khobbits, try to work on this if possible
    Link to this plugin: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/essentials/

    I have been on a server where you do /afk to be afk, and if you move or talk you are no longer afk.

    The AFK feature in plugins causes a lot of unnecesary lag by checking if a player is afk (And some other checks related to it), EVERY TIME HE MOVES ONE BLOCK. Imagine that happening to a person who's flying at speed 10. Imagine that happening to 50 people flying at speed 10.

    If it really does create that much unnecessary lag then I say out with it! I would much rather have less lag then have to strain the server into checking my afk status.

    I don't think afk farming is a major problem, so this isn't really necessary.
