exCombat

exCombat stops combat logging on Paper and Folia servers. Hit someone and both of you are tagged for a few seconds: log out now and you die, your items drop for the winner. Safezones push tagged players back with a force field, so nobody escapes a fight by running into spawn.

Features

• Combat tag – attacker and victim are tagged for 15 seconds, refreshed on every hit, with a boss bar countdown
• Combat logout – leaving while tagged kills the player and drops their inventory and XP
• Safezone force field – tagged players bounce off safezones with particles and a sound; WorldGuard regions with pvp: deny or cuboids in config.yml
• Escape blocking – ender pearls, chorus fruit, portals, vehicles and non-whitelisted commands are blocked in combat
• Velocity add-on – optional, stops tagged players from switching servers
• PlaceholderAPI – use the combat state in scoreboards and tab lists
• Developer API – cancellable events for tag, end and logout
• Fully customizable – every message lives in language.yml
• Reload without restart – /excombat reload applies config and language changes live
