About this Mod
Fake AFK
Allows players to create fake players from Carpet Mod without significantly changing the games balance
The mod only needs to exist server-side, and it requires Carpet Mod to work
Commands
/afk:ready after running, a Fake Player will be created at your position when you log off, and disappear once you log back on
/afk:summon summons your Fake Player for 5 minutes, so you can give it items, or kill it to get any items it picked up - the limited time means some simple tasks that require two people can be done, but anything complex cant
/afk:name rename your Fake Player, all names need to include a "-", which regular usernames can't, so its always clear who is a real player
