**About**
\n—<\/p>\n
Shadow Player is a server side Carpet mod orchestrator that maintains a ‘shadow’ version of a player when they disconnect from the server, preserving their presence. This way, players can stay online forever on the server as long as they are alive, even if they log out. The mod might be useful for creating cool challenges or unique survival scenarios where logging out doesn\u2019t guarantee safety – anything you can do to an AFK player, you can also do to their fake shadow presence as well.<\/p>\n
