In a fast-paced game, a sudden lag spike can lead to an unfair death and the loss of valuable items. This plugin ensures that your players' hard-earned gear is always safe.
Key Features: Inventory Protection: Automatically saves and restores a player's inventory if their ping exceeds a configurable threshold at the moment of death.
Ping-Based Activation: The protection mechanism is triggered by a high ping, ensuring that only players genuinely affected by lag are protected.
Anti-Cheat System: Includes a sophisticated check to prevent players from faking high ping to abuse the system. The plugin verifies ping at both death and respawn to ensure legitimacy.
Lightweight & Efficient: Designed to run smoothly without causing any performance issues on your server.
Customizable: Server owners can easily configure the ping threshold and other settings to suit their needs.
