# LastActivePlayers
[](https://github.com/thomasuebel/minecraft-last-active-players/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[](https://codecov.io/gh/thomasuebel/minecraft-last-active-players)
A Paper plugin for Minecraft 1.21.x that tracks player sessions and celebrates the most engaged
members of your community.
## Features
- On join, lists the last N offline players with their last visit date and their playtime in the rolling 30-day window.
- Shows the joining player their current rank and how many minutes of playtime until the next rank.
- Broadcasts the **MVP** -- the player with the most total playtime in the last 30 days.
- Broadcasts the **Streak Leader** -- the player with the longest consecutive daily login streak.
- Grants permission nodes to the MVP and streak leaders at milestone thresholds (3, 7, 14, 30, 60
days) so operators can hook into any rewards plugin.
- Exposes a configurable prefix (crown / fire emoji by default) for the MVP and streak leader
via PlaceholderAPI for use in chat formatting, tab list, and hologram plugins.
- **Streak shields** -- players earn a shield on each streak milestone. A shield automatically
bridges exactly one missed calendar day, keeping the streak alive.
- **Streak milestone broadcasts** -- a server-wide message and a personal full-screen title are
shown when a player reaches a new streak milestone.
- `/lastactive` command available to all players.
- Reload configuration without restarting: `/lastactive reload` (ops only).
- bStats integration (plugin ID 30553).
## Requirements

anonymous usage statistics (server version, plugin version, player count ranges). No personal
data is collected. To opt out, set `enabled: false` in `plugins/bStats/config.yml`.
