AntiAFKPlus v3.0.3 — Changelog
Bug Fixes
Players bypass AFK detection by riding animals in water (Critical)
Problem: A player sitting on any rideable entity (horse, donkey, camel, boat, etc.) in water could completely avoid AFK punishments. The natural bobbing motion of the animal in water was incorrectly counted as player activity, causing the plugin to immediately unmark the player as AFK — even though the PatternDetector had correctly identified them as idle.

Symptoms:

• Console shows pattern violations accumulating normally (repetitive_movement, keystroke_timeout)
• Player gets marked as AFK at the correct threshold
• Player is immediately unmarked (~1 second later) with reason "manual (API activity/unmark)"
• This loop repeats indefinitely — the player is never actually punished

Fix: The plugin now correctly identifies passive vehicle movement and ignores it as activity. Players mounted on entities will only be considered active if they move their camera (mouse input), which requires real player interaction. Pattern detection continues monitoring mounted players normally.

Affected setups: All servers, but especially those using MARK_AFK_ONLY as the AFK action. Servers using KICK or TELEPORT were less impacted since those actions execute before the next movement tick.

Blank lines in chat when AFK state messages are set to empty
Problem: Setting player-now-afk: "" or player-no-longer-afk: "" in the language file to disable AFK state broadcasts still sent blank lines to all online players.

Fix: The plugin now checks if the message is empty or whitespace-only before broadcasting. Setting either message to "" will now completely suppress it — no blank lines, no chat spam.

Language file changes not applied on /afkplus reload
Problem: Editing language YAML files (e.g., plugins/AntiAFKPlus/languages/en.yml) required a full server restart to take effect. The /afkplus reload command only reloaded config.yml but not the language files.

Fix: /afkplus reload now also reloads all language files. Changes to messages, translations, and custom text take effect immediately without restarting.

Improvements
Renamed max-voluntary-afk-time-seconds → max-afk-duration-seconds
The old name was confusing because it also applies to players marked AFK by the plugin (via MARK_AFK_ONLY), not just voluntary /afk usage.

New config key:

The old key max-voluntary-afk-time-seconds still works for backward compatibility — no migration needed.

✅ Compatibility

• Paper 1.16 — 26.1.2+
• Folia (all versions)
• Spigot 1.16+
• Purpur, Pufferfish, and other Paper forks
• No config changes required

How to Update

1. Stop the server
2. Replace the plugin JAR with AntiAFKPlus-3.0.3.jar
3. Start the server

No config changes required. The old max-voluntary-afk-time-seconds key still works.

Optional: Rename max-voluntary-afk-time-seconds to max-afk-duration-seconds in your config.yml for clarity. Both keys are supported.
