PlaceholderAPI Support This is useful if servers use other plugins that change the tab or the scoreboard.

This means that the AFK data and values can also be used in other plugins.

The following placeholders are available:

%betterafk_afk_status% (returns AFK, if a player is AFK)

%betterafk_invulnerability_status% (returns invulnerable, if a player is invulnerable)

%betterafk_afk_query% (returns true or false, true if a player is AFK)

%betterafk_afk_minutes% (returns the minutes a player is AFK, nothing if the player is not AFK)

Please note that you must also download the PlaceholderAPI plugin here to use this feature: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/

A simple stylistic AFK plugin with holograms which is fully customisable. Check the gallery.
