PvPControl

Are you on a server with PvP but don’t want to take part?

`-> Then PvPControl is your way to go.`

Every player decides for themselves whether they want PvP. A hit only lands when both players have PvP on. And after a fight you can’t just switch it off to escape, because a combat cooldown keeps PvP on for a few seconds.

Works everywhere

| Platform | Minecraft |
|—|—|
| Plugin: Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Folia & forks | 1.8.8 to 26.3 (one jar for all versions) |
| Fabric / Quilt (needs Fabric API) | 1.20 to 26.3 |
| NeoForge | 1.20.1 to 26.3 |
| Forge | 1.20 to 26.3 |

The mods are server-side only, so players join with a normal vanilla client. They also work in singleplayer and LAN.
Pick the file for your loader and Minecraft version on the Versions tab; each mod file lists the exact versions it supports.

In-game menu

Just type /pvp:

• switch your PvP on or off with one click
• see whether you’re in combat and how long the cooldown still runs
• admins additionally get: cooldown ±5s or a custom value via input dialog (click the clock, 1.21.6+), feedback in action bar or chat, language switch, reload, and a player list to toggle anyone’s PvP

What gets blocked

Melee, bows, crossbows, tridents, snowballs, fishing rods, fireworks, TNT lit by a player and, on the plugin, harmful splash and lingering potions. Self-damage is never blocked.

Configuration

• config.yml: language, default PvP state, cooldown, feedback display, sounds, worlds where PvPControl stays out

New options from updates are added to your config automatically, without touching your comments.
