General questions
- Which Minecraft versions does AFK Announcer support?
- AFK Announcer supports Minecraft Java Edition 1.20 - 26.3. It does not work on Bedrock Edition.
- Do I need Fabric or Forge for AFK Announcer?
- No. AFK Announcer is a datapack, so it works in vanilla Minecraft without any mod loader. If you prefer, it is also available as a mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt and a plugin for Paper and Purpur.
- Does AFK Announcer work on servers and in multiplayer?
- Yes. Datapacks run on the server, so it works in singleplayer, on multiplayer servers and in LAN worlds. Players do not need to install anything.
- How do I install the AFK Announcer datapack?
- Download the datapack zip from Modrinth or CurseForge, put it into the datapacks folder of your world (saves/<world>/datapacks), then run /reload or restart the world. For a new world, you can also add it on the Data Packs screen while creating the world.
- Is AFK Announcer free?
- Yes. AFK Announcer is free and open source under the MIT License. The source code is on Codeberg.
