PvP Time Plugin FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on PvP for only certain hours of the day?
Edit your plugin configuration file to set the start and end times using in-game hours (0-23), then run /pvptime reload to apply the changes. The plugin will automatically enable and disable combat at those times and announce the status change to all players.
Can I have different PvP schedules for different worlds?
Yes, the plugin supports per-world combat rules. Create separate configuration sections for each world name in your settings file, and the plugin will apply the correct schedule based on which world a player is in.
Why can players still fight in my safe zones during PvP hours?
Make sure your WorldGuard regions have the pvp flag set to deny. The plugin respects region protection settings, so if a region allows PvP, combat will happen there even during scheduled times unless you explicitly deny it in WorldGuard.
How do I let admins fight outside of scheduled PvP times?
Give admin players the pvptime.override permission. Players with this permission can attack others at any time, regardless of the current combat schedule.
What's the difference between pvptime.override and pvptime.nopvp?
Pvptime.override lets a player attack others anytime, while pvptime.nopvp prevents a player from being attacked even during active combat hours. Use override for admins and nopvp to protect specific players like NPCs or event organizers.
Does PvP Time work with Towny wars?
Yes, the plugin automatically enables PvP during active Towny wars regardless of the schedule. When a war ends, combat rules return to the normal schedule.
I set up the schedule but nothing changed—what did I forget?
Make sure pvp=on is set in your server.properties file, then restart your server. After that, run /pvptime reload to load your plugin configuration and verify the status with /pvptime info.
Can I see what the current PvP status is without checking the config?
Run /pvptime info in-game to instantly see whether PvP is currently active or safe in your world, plus when the next status change will occur.
Does the plugin announce when PvP turns on and off?
Yes, the plugin automatically sends a chat message to all players whenever combat status changes, so everyone knows when they can or cannot fight.
Will this plugin cause lag on my server?
PvP Time Plugin is lightweight and only checks combat eligibility when players attempt to fight, so it has minimal performance impact even on large servers with many worlds and regions.
