EzAfk

Keep AFK management simple.

EzAfk is a modern, lightweight AFK management plugin for Paper and Spigot servers. It automates AFK detection, rewards or charges players based on idle state, gives staff a real-time overview panel, and integrates with the tools you already run, all without sacrificing performance.
