PvPTime
by Guichaguri
PvPTime lets server owners choose which in-game hours allow player-versus-player combat, so players can be kept safe during chosen times of day.
What it does
Player damage can be switched on and off by time of day, so a server can allow PvP only during set hours. Hours are configurable, and the mod broadcasts a message whenever the PvP state changes, so players know when it begins or ends. Multi-world support lets each world follow its own schedule.
The mod also works with the WorldGuard and Towny plugins, and a permission can let specific players deal damage even during the protected daytime. Because it is available on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur, Folia and Sponge, it can be run on either a mod or a plugin server. Files cover 1.2.5 – 26.2, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only. The PvPTime Bukkit plugin was originally created by Erbros and later continued and recoded by Guichaguri.
