Nick AFK Party Pack

Small Spigot plugin coded up in a day to add nicknames and AFK status for Minecraft 1.18.

REQUIRES PROTOCOLLIB PLUGIN (DEV BUILD FOR 1.18)

Features

• Show nicknames above player heads, in tab list, in chat, and in player join/leave messages
  
• Nicknames support spaces.
  
• Show AFK status in tab list, and optionally above player heads (see caveat below)
  
• Broadcast message when player goes AFK.
  
• AFK status automatically removed when player moves their mouse (camera) or types in chat.
  
• Players auto AFK after configurable amount of time (can be disabled).
  
• AFK players auto-kicked after configurable amount of time (can be disabled).
  
• Administrator commands to nick/unnick other player

Caveats

• Nicknames are limited to 16 characters as this is the maximum allowed above player heads (yes this can be upped to 48 with scoreboards but I chose not to add this for better plugin compatibility).
  
• If showing AFK status above player head is enabled and a player's username/nickname is longer than 10 characters, their nicknames will be truncated to 9 characters due to limitation above.
• Player will flicker for ~2 ticks when their AFK status or nickname changes.

Compatibility

• This plugin doesn't touch scoreboards, so any plugins using that should work fine.
  
• Probably not compatible with other mods which inject data into Play.Server.PLAYER_INFO packets or depend on those packets not being sent randomly.
