⚔️ PVP Zones Notifier is a lightweight, highly configurable plugin for PaperMC servers that provides PVP zone and combat logging. If you want a plugin that supports both building and PVP, this plugin helps prevent the unfair advantages of combat logging and the randomised killing some players do. This plugin is built with simplicity in mind, with a highly configurable configuration file that is very easy to use.
✅ Key Features
Once a fight happens between players, they're automatically put into combat.
Displays a timer in the action bar (configurable), counting down per player.
Plays a sound and shows a title when entering and leaving a PVP Zone.
Blocks specific items when in combat.
Configurable punishment system (KILL, CLEAR INVENTORY, and DEBUFF players).
In-game commands:
/pvpzoneradius <number>
— Set the PvP zone radius dynamically
/pvpzonereload
— reload the config without restarting the server
- Fully customizable messages for combat enter, exit, logout, and PvP zone notifications.
⚙️ Installation:
Download the PVPZoneNotifier .jar file.
Place it into your server's /plugins folder.
Restart or reload the server.
Edit the config.yml in /Plugins/PVPZonesNotifier to suit your needs.
The plugin should start working after that.
🔧 Configuration:
In the config.yml file, there are hints to ease the customisation within the plugin.
