EzAfk

[Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/plugin/ezafk/version/3.1.1)

Fixed

- AFK broadcast and return messages now resolve PlaceholderAPI placeholders with the AFK player's context, so integrations like LuckPerms prefixes work correctly in messages.yml. ---

Added

- Bypass whitelist and blacklist - Two persistent lists (stored in bypass-lists.yml) let admins fine-tune who bypasses AFK detection: - Whitelist — players that always bypass, regardless of the afk.bypass.enabled config flag or whether they hold the ezafk.bypass permission. - Blacklist - players that are never allowed to bypass, even when they hold ezafk.bypass (useful for ops/admins who want to be subject to AFK detection and zone rewards for testing or fairness). - Blacklist takes precedence over whitelist. - Managed in-game with /afk bypass whitelist <add|remove|list> [player] and /afk bypass blacklist <add|remove|list> [player] (requires ezafk.bypass.manage). - Tab completion is provided for all three argument depths. - Lists are reloaded on /afk reload. - AFK zone entry / exit messages - Players now receive a chat message when they enter or leave an AFK zone (afkzone.enter / afkzone.exit message keys in messages.yml; both support the %zone% placeholder). - AFK zone reward countdowns via EzCountdown - When [EzCountdown](https://github.com/ez-plugins/EzCountdown) is installed, players in AFK zones see a live countdown to their next reward (action bar, title, boss bar, scoreboard, or dialog — configurable per zone). The countdown resets automatically after each payout. - Global zone reward defaults - A top-level defaults.reward block in zones.yml lets you configure economy reward amount, interval, and notification settings once for all zones. Individual zones can still override any value. When Vault is present and defaults.reward.enabled: true, all zones automatically grant small economy rewards without per-zone configuration. - Session reward stats per player per zone - EzAfk now tracks how many rewards and how much currency each player has received in each zone for the current server session (resets on restart). Available via PlaceholderAPI: - %ezafk_zone_rewards_grants% - total grants across all zones - %ezafk_zone_rewards_amount% - total currency earned across all zones - %ezafk_zone_reward_<zone>_grants% - grants in a specific zone - %ezafk_zone_reward_<zone>_amount% - currency earned in a specific zone - New notification config fields on zone rewards: reward.notification.enabled, reward.notification.displays, reward.notification.message, reward.notification.duration.

Fixed

- Duplicate reward: YAML key under afkzone: in messages.yml — the second block (failed:) was silently overwriting the first (granted.*), making all reward granted messages fall back to their hardcoded defaults. [EzCountdown](https://github.com/ez-plugins/EzCountdown) plugin. Detected automatically when present (integration.ezcountdown: auto). - Configurable kick-warning display types — kick.warnings.displays accepts a list of display types: CHAT, TITLE, ACTION_BAR, BOSS_BAR. Multiple types can be active at once (e.g. [ACTION_BAR, BOSS_BAR]). When the list is empty the legacy kick.warnings.mode value is used for backward compatibility. - New message keys kick.warning.action_bar and kick.warning.boss_bar in messages.yml for the new display types.

Changed

- CompatibilityUtil now handles sendActionBar, showBossBarWarning, and removeWarningBossBar via reflection - safe on servers without the BossBar API (pre-1.9) or without the action-bar method available. - Java 21+ is now required. maven.compiler.release raised from 11 to 21; the plugin JAR targets Java 21 bytecode (class file version 65). Servers running Minecraft 1.21+ already require Java 21, so this is a no-op for all supported server versions. - Minimum supported Minecraft version is now 1.21 (was 1.19). Older versions are no longer tested or guaranteed to work.

Removed

- Paper 1.20.4 / Java 17 legacy CI smoke test (not needed after dropping Java 17 support). ---

- Updated plugin to Java 25 - Updated to Paper 26.1 - Integrated [Jaloquent](https://github.com/EzFramework/Jaloquent) for the storage - Added optional Jaloquent logging
