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

Posted Apr 6, 2013Add a feature for mobs. So you can also be protected from mobs for a set time.
For example: I had this issue on my server where someone spawned a zombie pigman in the base and when he spawned he would always die in the base because he wasn't protected for mobs.
Please add a mob feature, thank you :)
Did I mention? Your plugin is used by a lot of servers and we love it! So please update for us, thanks :P

Is your main world actually called "world"? You might want to check your server.properties file. I don't know why it's not ignored, it should in theory.

Hopefully in the upcoming weeks. The author has very limited time and as you see many new features to add in which takes a lot of coding.

Yes.
Add a protection on changing worlds, or entering a specific world.
That is one of the upcoming features to the plugin.

I think I'll add, as suggested by many others, an option to disable picking up items while protected.
