So i made it a while ago but forgot to post anything about it but I made an almost AFK personal head farm on SMP5 at /Frontier n. Just head West and it is right outside the boarder of the out post made of dirt. just climb to the top and sleep in the bed to set spawn, then let the water take you. If you have any problems with it let me know.
I haven't been there, but if I inderstand thhe way it works correctly, if you have the macro mod, you can also make it 100% afk-able (well, with the auto-click rules) This would be the code: Code: $${ IF(autorespawn); LOG("&2&l[&9&lMacro&2&l] &6&lAutoRespawn Stopped."); UNSET(autorespawn); stop(); ELSE; LOG("&2&l[&9&lMacro&2&l] &6&lAutoRespawn Enabled."); SET(autorespawn); DO; RESPAWN(); WAIT(0ms); LOOP(autorespawn); ENDIF; }$$
A reminder to people that full-on AFKing while collecting resources is not allowed. If a staff member PMs you to make sure you're still at the computer, you must be able to respond in a timely fashion.
Then you shouldn't have to respond, though. I can miss chat for 5 or 10 minutes easily, when I logged into the Minecraft server, and am doing forum stuff. Of course, I'm not doing any actions then, but even if I would be, that shouldn't be a problem I think, keeping the policy in mind, as I'm not afk, I'm actually playing on EMC, just not in Minecraft. (I'm sorry for the amount of commas in that sentence >.<)
According to staff, If they message you even in say local and not full name so you dont get a ping and you are head farming and you dont respond (Even if viewing the forums), that is considered autoclicking afk.
Ah. I am mistaken, then. I haven't ever paid too much attention to the details, as I don't do anything passively myself. I once considered putting some chickens above some hoppers, but even that idea I didn't like, in the end.
I might not even be afking, doing something actively like at a farm, and not watching the chat, would only hear the ping. So I could get banned for that? Dude, that is really scary.
From what I've heard staff is suppose to PM you. Even when not afk and playing in game it's easy to miss a local message so that would kind of be unfair. I guess unless they use your name in the local message and then you get a ping. Unless this info has changed this is what I was told in the past.
You don't get banned unless it's excessive and post multiple warnings on something like this. This is to prevent players from gaining advantage without actually being present on the server. If we notice you are doing something while afk, and you don't respond to a test, then we simply kick you usually. We don't use specific tests because players were creating macros around them. Yes, macros to keep us from realizing they weren't there. So we have an unpredictable testing to ensure everyone follows the rules. Not every rule break is punished by a ban though.
instead of local chat, just PM them (PM pings are much better) If they reply, then ask them a question about themselves available at /p theirname That is as unpredictable/fair as it can get
All stats there change everyday =P, and Im not sure how well can a program can interpret a differently worded question every time with the same answer, as well as similar questions with different answers EDIT: You could also make Aikar add a command, so staff can force a captcha in the game(like thte captcha during /res unclaim) to that player
It's definitely hard to get banned for AFKing. In particular for head farming-- just make sure you do not pull a McNab and you'll be fine.
