PvP Manager 9minecraft Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I enable PvP Manager on my server?
Install the plugin in your server's plugins folder and restart the server. The plugin will generate a configuration file automatically on first run, which you can then customize to enable features like combat logging prevention, beginner protection, and safe zone blocking.
What happens if a player tries to disconnect while in combat?
By default, the player will be punished according to your configured settings—this can include damage, death, or being logged back in. You can customize the punishment type and severity in the configuration file to match your server's rules.
How do I give new players beginner protection?
Enable beginner protection in the config and set a duration (how long new players are protected after joining). During this period, new players cannot be damaged by other players, giving them time to gather resources and learn the server safely.
Can I turn off PvP in specific worlds or for certain players?
Yes, you can toggle PvP on or off per world or per individual player using commands or the configuration. This lets you create peaceful zones while keeping combat active elsewhere on your server.
How do I stop players from running into safe zones during a fight?
The plugin tags players when they enter combat and prevents them from entering protected areas (like spawn or claim zones) while tagged. Once the combat timer expires, they can safely enter those zones again.
What abilities are disabled when a player enters combat?
Flight, creative mode, invisibility, and disguises are all disabled immediately when combat starts, preventing players from using these to escape or gain unfair advantages during fights.
Does the plugin prevent command spam during combat?
Yes, players cannot use commands while in active combat, and block placement and ender pearl throws are also blocked to stop players from building escape routes or teleporting away mid-fight.
How does respawn protection work?
After a player dies and respawns, they receive temporary protection that prevents other players from attacking them immediately. This gives them a brief window to gather their bearings before re-entering combat.
Can I limit how many times one player can kill the same opponent?
Yes, the plugin has an anti-farm feature that prevents kill abuse by limiting repeated kills on the same player within a set timeframe. This discourages grinding the same target for easy rewards.
Does the plugin work with other combat or PvP plugins?
Compatibility depends on how other plugins handle damage and combat events; conflicts can occur if multiple plugins try to control the same mechanics. Test your plugin combination on a test server first, and check your server logs for errors if unexpected behavior occurs.
