PvPTimer
PvPTimer
Don't get join-killed ever again!
This is my second public Bukkit plugin. Enjoy!

Are you tired of those player-killers who keep tracking down the new members on your server? Well, there is a solution! PvPTimer will protect players from PvP for a set amount of time, and during that time will be able to build and discover the server, without worrying about those pesky player-killers! :)
Plugin suggested by Highneon from the awesome KingsOfMinecraft forum. Thanks to him! :)
Download and other links
I am aware of the issues present. If PvPTimer 1.3 does not work for you, please downgrade to 1.2, this should fix your issues till I manage to issue a new build. Thanks everyone for being so patient!
Stable release: PvPTimer 1.3

Wouldent it be more useful to just stop the PlayerPickupItemEvent if there was a entity instanceof Player in a radius of 15 blocks?

Posted Mar 15, 2013Uhhh... i have a problem. My players have got exploding guns, Teleporting guns, being able to shoot fireballs, being able to drop TNT on people, and being able to strike lightening and poison people.
Sooo... could you prevent ALL damage (EXCLUDING MOB DAMAGE)?
If you could, that would be very useful.
Thanks, Joe

Yes, because minecraft has not changed the EntityDamageByEntityEvent in 1.5

Absolutely not, I've just been a bit busy with personal issues lately.
Should be back to normal soon, thanks for your interest though!

What about non-PvP spawns you can't build on? There's something you don't understand... the protection is intended so you can have some time to build and gather some ressources! Of course, a non-PvP spawn is often there to prevent spawn killing, but when you go out of spawn that protection goes away, and as a newbie you can't defend yourself against all those diamond-looted killers... Just thought I might clarify that.

Posted Feb 19, 2013Is it possible to add a command/config line, to allow timed protection on-the-fly .i.e typing "/PVP protect on" would start protection for all players for say 10 minutes, or for how long you set in the config?

There is no "blocked commands" option. Besides, this shouldn't even affect PvP. This isn't an anti-PvP-logging plugin. This is a protection plugin.
Are you sure you're on the right plugin?

Posted Feb 9, 2013I'm happy with the features, is there any way you could please just make the blocked commands option actually work? People can teleport out of fights, I had to result to adding a delay on teleports, which makes life hard and annoying. Then take your time working on any feature you'd like :P
