What is your suggestion's title?

Add /afk command in Lobby (which can be set by player and also can get automatically applied when people are not moving in lobby for more than <a specifc amount of duration>)​

Suggestion Details:

This feature would allow players to manually set themselves as AFK in the Lobby using the /afk command. Additionally, if a player is inactive for a certain period of time (e.g., 1-5 minute) without moving, the server should automatically mark them as AFK.

Once a player is AFK
A small [AFK] tag can appear next to their name in the tab list or chat to indicate their status. This could help both staff and players differentiate between who's currently active and who’s just idling.

Optional Enhancements:

A small message like "You are now AFK. Move to return." above the hotbar
Option to toggle auto-AFK in lobby: /afk toggle​

How could this idea help improve JartexNetwork?

Reduces confusion during conversations or party invites in the lobby.

Makes it easier to know who’s available for party invites, chats, trades, etc.

Adds a more polished and user-friendly touch to the lobby system.

Can be helpful for staff moderation and general server hygiene.​

Extra Information:

Response to possible critique:

While it's true that /status already exists with options like /status online, /status invisible, and /status offline, the AFK system serves a different purpose:

/status is manually controlled and intended for social visibility
(whether you want to appear online/invisible).

/afk is activity-based (auto-detected or quick-toggle) and reflects real-time presence
specifically idleness, not just visibility.

Currently, Jartex has a /status away command
but it must be manually typed by the player. Many players forget to use it, and it doesn’t reflect actual inactivity.

So yes, /status and /afk can exist together without conflicts.​

why do you even want to /afk?

ask 95% of those player in lobby that goes afk or are just standing still!

idk how many times do i have to tell you that it will be an automated process
have you never been to a bedwars lobby?
there are people who are just standing still .. and most of them dont use /status away
even most of my friends and i am sure this happens with most of the people that they dont even use /status away
and it would definately be better that this status thing either become an automated process which it prob cant

so the devs should implement afk system which automatically marks players as AFK when they are still for a specific amout of duration
as this would greatly reduce the confusion during conversations or party invites in the lobby.
it would be better for other players to know that yes this guy is afk

you basically make all the useless suggestions which are not even required

Thanks
3 people agreed with my suggestion
so either all of us support useless suggestion or you (The noble Guardian of the realm) are against a useless suggestion
