Fake players are being kick with essentials even when permissions are given to stop it

[Josh65-2201]

No idea if it this plugin or essentials but with lucky perms I have given the fake player permissions to not be kicked when idle but it still does. I have tested this with me and I don't get kicked as expected.

[16:32:25 INFO]: server lost connection: You have been kicked for idling more than 15 minutes.

Thanks for the report.
It seems that essentials is trying a logic part that the faked player currently doesn't have.
Does this error also appear with the FakePlayers 2.8-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/herby2212/FakePlayers/releases/tag/2.8-SNAPSHOT) build?

[Josh65-2201]

Yes. I did try that

Ok. Essentials is trying to use a part of the faked player that they currently don't have. I aim to fix it with the full 2.8 release.
