SMPCombatLog - Advanced PvP Combat Tracking System
SMPCombatLog is a comprehensive combat logging prevention system designed for Paper servers. It automatically tracks player-to-player combat, provides immersive visual feedback, and enforces customizable punishments for players who disconnect or die while engaged in battle.
Features
- Automatic Combat Detection: Instantly detects when players enter combat and tracks all participants
- Visual Feedback System:
- Customizable boss bar showing remaining combat duration
- Glowing effect on opponents with configurable colors
- Combat Logging Protection: Automatically punishes players who disconnect or die during active combat
- Flexible Punishments: Choose between killing or damaging combat loggers
- Permission-based Bypass: Grant specific players immunity from combat logging
- MiniMessage Support: Fully customizable messages with color codes and formatting
- Easy Commands: Simple admin commands to manage the system
- Public API: Integrate combat tracking into your own plugins
How It Works
- When a player hits another player, both enter combat status
- A configurable timer starts (default: 10 seconds)
- Visual effects display on both players
- Any hit during combat extends the timer for both participants
- When the timer expires, players exit combat
- If a player disconnects or dies while in combat, they receive automatic punishment
