Installation

• Place PvPManager.jar inside your /plugins/ folder and start your server
• Edit the config.yml inside /plugins/PvPManager/
• Run /pmr reload and your changes are instantly deployed

You don't need to restart your server for any PvPManager config changes as everything is reloadable

Further setup

By default players don't have access to toggling their PvP with /pvp
This is usually what server owners want since they only allow certain ranks to disable pvp
To allow this just check the appropriate Permissions and assign them in your permissions plugin
Currently the permission to be able to toggle PvP is pvpmanager.pvpstatus.change

Most major features are enabled by default, such as combat tagging, newbie protection, anti border hopping, and can be configured in the config file

You might also want to change your language, simply run /pmr locale [your desired locale]
This will reset your current messages file and replace it with a translated one. Help complete our translations

Frequently Asked Questions

The plugin is enabled but nothing happens

Assuming there are no console errors, you are an admin and might have OP permissions that make you not get combat tagged, punished, etc. You can check this by using /pvpinfo and looking at your exemptions.
Try testing the plugin with non admin players or remove/deny the exempt permissions from yourself.

I have PvP disabled but can still PvP

There are usually two reasons for this to happen:
1 - You used the /pvpoverride command, which is an admin command to allow you to attack everyone and everywhere.
2 - You are inside a WorldGuard region with the PvP flag set to ALLOW. This causes PvPManager to force enable your PvP.
You can change this behavior by setting WorldGuard overrides to false in the config.

When players have PvP disabled they can still get attacked by XXX enchant/skill from YYY plugin

The odds are this is an issue with the enchant plugin, PvPManager cancels the entity damage by entity event, enchant/skill plugins should call a damage event and check if it's cancelled before applying their damages.
