About this Mod

IF YOU WANT THE MOD UPDATED TO NEWER/OLDER MC VERSIONS PLEASE MAKE AN ISSUE ON THE GITHUB. IT WON'T BE UPDATED IF I GET NO REQUESTS FOR IT.

AFKAdvertiser

AFKAdvertiser is a Minecraft mod which sends a random chat message from a list on an interval.

Dependencies

The mod depends on Fabric-Api.

Configuration

To configure the mod, put the mod in your mods folder and launch the game. A txt file will be created in .minecraft\config named afkadvertiser.txt. This txt file will have the following contents by default:

60
10
First Line
Second Line

The first line is the interval in seconds between messages, the second is the random offest in seconds, all the following lines are the messages which are randomly selected, there can be an infinite number of messages (well, actually 2,147,483,647).
When in-game, toggle it with /afkadvertiser.

Timing

How the mod internally works is that a task is run after interval seconds, this task then adds an extra random amount of seconds between zero and random_offset (a float, so not alligned to the second), after that extra time has elapsed, it sends a random message.
So the time between messages is interval+random(0,random_offset).

If you have issues or found a bug, create an issue on github.

Frequently Asked Questions

AFKAdvertiser server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is AFKAdvertiser compatible with fabric?

AFKAdvertiser officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with AFKAdvertiser – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if AFKAdvertiser consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
