Passive Mode
by itzdubz
Passive Mode lets a server keep players from hitting each other, so anyone who does not want a fight can stay out of one.
What it does
Players who prefer not to fight can join a server running Passive Mode and be shielded from player-versus-player hits. A configurable combat tag and log system tracks who has been in a fight, and the mode can be turned on or off per player. Only the server needs the mod, and players connect without installing anything. The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric on 1.21.11 only, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Player hit blocking
Hits between players are disabled for anyone with the mode active, while other players can still fight normally.
Configurable combat timer
A combat timer defaults to 30 seconds and can be adjusted in the server configuration.
Combat tag and logout
Leaving during combat is tracked, and the inventory of a player who logs out mid-fight is dropped.

How it compares
Fair Fight is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21.11 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, so it reaches more loaders than Passive Mode. Combat log mod is also server-side only and under the MIT License, but its files cover 1.21.3 – 26.2 and it is not open source.
