pvpOption

A Minecraft mod/plugin that adds opt-in PvP flagging. Players must explicitly enable PvP before they can deal or receive damage from other players. Unflagged players are fully protected.


Branches

Branch Platform MC Version
multi_1.21.11 Fabric + NeoForge (Architectury) 1.21.11
plugin_1.21.11 Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Pufferfish 1.21.11
multi_26.x (upcoming) Fabric + NeoForge (Architectury) 26.x
plugin_26.x (upcoming) Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Pufferfish 26.x

Features

  • Opt-in PvP flagging — players choose when to engage
  • Configurable warmup period before PvP activates
  • Combat cooldown — prevents toggling off mid-fight
  • Action bar HUD showing PvP and combat status
  • Auto-unflag after configurable idle time
  • Broadcast toggle announcements to the server
  • Admin commands to force-set, lock, and unlock player flags
  • Config hot-reload without restarting the server

Note: The mod syncs the pvp= value in server.properties to match its own pvpEnabled setting on startup. The mod's config is the source of truth — editing server.properties directly has no effect.
