Overview

PlayerDummies is a lightweight plugin that adds realistic combat training dummies to your Minecraft server.

Perfect for:
• PvP servers
• Practice arenas
• Damage testing zones
• Combat tutorials
• Minigame lobbies

Unlike basic armor stands, PlayerDummies creates fully interactive NPCs (if Citizens is present) that:
• Accurately track damage
• Support all armor, weapons, and enchantments
• Provide real-time combat feedback
• Never die or get knocked back

Train smarter. Test faster. Improve combat performance.

How It Works

For Server Owners

1. Installation

2. Configuration
Spoiler: config.yml
Code (Text):

# PlayerDummies configuration
#
# This file uses top-level keys for clarity. Each option includes a short
# description above it — change values as needed and reload with
# "/dummies reload".

#######################################################################
# Item / gameplay
#######################################################################
item:
  # Material of the item you get when using /dummies give or picking up a dummy.
  # Use any valid Bukkit material name (e.g. ARMOR_STAND, PLAYER_HEAD).
  material: ARMOR_STAND

removal:
  # Require the player to be sneaking (shift) when right-clicking the NPC to pick it up.
  require-sneak: true

notifications:
  # Number of decimal places to show for damage values in messages/action bar.
  precision: 1

#######################################################################
# NPC / Skin / Name settings
#######################################################################
# Display name shown above NPCs and ArmorStands. Supports color codes (&).
# Example: "&ePlayer Dummy" -> yellow name "Player Dummy".
npc-name: "&ePlayer Dummy"

# Whether the NPC's name is visible above their head.
# For Citizens the name appears like a real player nametag.
# For ArmorStands the name appears as a floating label.
npc-name-visible: true

# Default Minecraft username / skin identifier used by NPC plugins.
# Leave empty for no specific skin. Works only with Citizens.
# Example: npc-skin: "Notch"
npc-skin: "P3tar_mc"

# If true, the plugin will prefer using real NPC plugins (Citizens)
# when available; if false the plugin always uses ArmorStands as dummies.
npc-use-npcs: true

# NPC selection mode. AUTO: Citizens -> ArmorStand.
# Other values: CITIZENS, ARMORSTAND
npc-mode: "AUTO"

#######################################################################
# WorldGuard integration
# TEMPORARILY DISABLED - will be reworked in a future update. For now, the plugin ignores WorldGuard flags.
#######################################################################
#worldguard:
#  # Enable/disable WorldGuard integration (if WG is installed)
#  enabled: true
#  # Respect flags when placing dummies (requires WG installed)
#  enforce-place: true
#  # Respect flags when picking up dummies
#  enforce-break: true
#  # Respect flags when damaging dummies
#  enforce-damage: true

#######################################################################
# Messaging, debug, permissions
#######################################################################
# If true the plugin will send messages to chat  instead of
# the action bar when reporting damages (controlled in code).
use-chat-for-messages: false

# Enable verbose debug logging to console (developer use)
debug: false

# Debug level: 0 = off, 1 = normal debug, 2 = verbose / development-only
# Setting this to 2 will enable extra logs intended for development.
# DO NOT TURN THIS ON UNLESS YOU ARE A DEVELOPER OR HAVE BEEN ASKED TO BY THE AUTHOR, AS IT WILL GENERATE A LOT OF LOGS!
debug-level: 1

# If false, only the owner/placer of a dummy can pick it up.
allow-non-owners-break: false

#######################################################################
# Storage / persistence
#######################################################################
# Saved NPCs are stored as YAML files under the plugin data 'data/' folder.
# Each file is named <uuid>.yml and contains position, owner, type and skin.
