Detect AFK Players

This version of the data pack maintains compatibility with previous versions but changes a lot internally.

This changelog doesn't go into much detail. For more information, read the documentation. A copy is included in a download of this data pack.

• Improved the responsiveness of the AFK detection

  • The data pack is performant enough that on a low spec system it can easily run for tens of players on every tick, but I'm only increasing the rate of checking from every 5 seconds to 1.5 seconds.

• Added an afk trigger

  • Admins can run /scoreboard players enable <username> afk to allow a player to manually become AFK

• Added a new afk.ticks scoreboard, which can be used to track the amount of ticks that players have been AFK

• A player exiting and re-joining the game is counted as active

• Players leaving the game can be detected by add-ons without implementing a custom scoreboard

• Added a configurable threshold for players becoming AFK, instead of hard-coding 3 minutes

  • An admin can run /scoreboard players set .threshold afk.settings <ticks>
  • 3600 ticks by default, which is 3 minutes

• Changed scoreboard objective names. The names documented in the documentation are now stable and part of the public API.

Updated to support Minecraft 1.21.0, and corrects the previously incorrect older-version support. Because of the scoreboard names, only versions after 1.18 are supported. This version changes nothing from the previous version.

Updated to guarantee that players are tagged with afk before #afk:away and #afk:back are called.
