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

Yeah it seems like PvPTimer had an issue migrating. I'll look into it, but in the meantime, download the newest configuration file from here and change values manually. Could you send me your old configuration? I'd like to see what caused the issue.

If you could set up a temporary server with both PvPTimer and Essentials, both updated to the latest builds, and fetch me those logs I might be able to fix that. However I can't do much without the errors! :(
