Idle timeout automatically kicks AFK players after a set number of minutes, enabling idle timeout is useful for server management by freeing up server slots.
This is what you do if you want to set player idle timeout on your Minecraft server.
Setting Player Idle Timeout
- 1Access the Game Host Bros panel and stop your Minecraft server.
- 2Go to
File Manager. - 3Open
server.properties, editplayer-idle-timeout=to your desired value in minutes, and then click save. - 4Start your server.
Tip
Set the value to 0 to disable idle timeout completely. Setting it to a positive number (like 30) will kick players who are idle for that many minutes.
