aicheye's Combat Tagging
by aicheye
aicheye's Combat Tagging is a server-side Fabric plugin that tags players in combat, so PvP on a server is harder to escape by logging out.
What it does
Once a player is tagged, a disconnect during combat is punished, which discourages combat-logging. The tag starts a combat timer that runs for a default period after the player enters combat, and the timer is configurable. Health and absorption can be reduced, and players can be set to die instantly when they disconnect in combat, so both sides of a fight are handled by the same rule. Ender pearl and chorus fruit teleport cooldowns and an enchanted golden apple cooldown can also be applied while tagged.
The mod is compatible with both PvP and PvE servers. Team chat can be disabled by default, and a combat team can be formed so players in combat are grouped and their usernames are coloured. Disabling username colouring re-enables commands, and individual options let a player leave the combat team, which removes the colour and lets the player message others again.
The mod is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is published for Fabric only, across eight release versions, 1.21.4 – 1.21.11. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. Public links exist for the source code and issue tracker.

How it compares
Elytra Combat Nerf is server-side only, under the MIT License, and built for 1.21.11 alone, so it targets a single version where this mod covers eight. Combat log mod is server-side only, under the MIT License, and covers 1.21.3 – 26.2, a wider range that is not open source. Heros Pvp Mod is client-side only and under All rights reserved, so it changes only what a player sees, not server rules.
