Peacekeeper

by areedelahi

Peacekeeper gives server owners control over player-versus-player combat on Fabric, with PvP disabled by default and a set of commands for challenges and arenas.

FabricServer-side onlyAll rights reserved26.2 – 26.3

What it does

PvP is switched off for everyone by default, and a server can keep it that way with protection in place. Players who want a fight send a request with pvp followed by a name, or open a challenge that anyone can accept. A challenge that is not accepted within 60 seconds expires. Accepted duels can be started at a distance, so two players can meet in an arena miles away from where they stand.

Admins can define special PvP areas in a world, and operators bypass the pvp toggle, so they can turn global PvP on or back to vanilla behavior at any time. A plugin can disable global PvP across the whole world as an automatic default. Global duels let several players join one free-for-all where everyone can hit the others. A 5-minute combat lock starts when a player fights, which stops players from running off to avoid a fight, and it also keeps mace attacks from being cut short by a player leaving the arena immediately.

The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. Its one required dependency is Areed's CoreLib. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.1.0 for 26.3 as the latest file.

Key features

  1. PvP off by default

    Combat between players is disabled everywhere until an admin or a plugin changes the setting.

  2. Duel requests

    A player can send a request to a specific player, or open a challenge that anyone may accept.

  3. Global duels and free-for-alls

    Several players can accept one challenge and fight in a shared arena where everyone can hit everyone.

  4. Admin-defined PvP areas

    Admins mark areas of a world where PvP is allowed, and operators can bypass the toggle at will.

  5. Combat lock

    A 5-minute lock after a fight keeps players in place, so they cannot escape by running out of the arena.

Questions

Does Peacekeeper need to be installed on player clients?

No. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything.

What does Peacekeeper require?

Areed's CoreLib is required. The mod is published for Fabric only, so a Fabric server with Fabric API is needed as well.

Can server operators override the PvP setting?

Yes. Operators bypass the pvp toggle and can switch global PvP on or back to vanilla behavior.

What the author says

This makes it possible to have mace pvp in air cause it doesn't get turned of when you leave arena immediately, aswell as prevents just running out of arena to get safe.
