What is CombatMe?

CombatMe is a lightweight Paper plugin that tags both players the moment one hits the other. While tagged, every teleport command is blocked — no more running /home mid-fight, no /rtp to escape, no /tpa cheese. A clean action bar countdown keeps players informed without cluttering the screen with titles or chat spam. Once the timer runs out with no further combat, the tag is lifted and players are free to teleport again. ---

Features

- Instant combat tagging on both attacker and victim - Teleport command blocker — /home, /warp, /tpa, /rtp, /spawn, /tp, and more - Action bar countdown — color shifts as time runs out - Red — lots of time left - Yellow — halfway through - Lime — almost done - White — flash when combat ends - Private chat alerts — attacker and victim each get their own message on tag - Action bar alert — flashes a warning when a blocked command is attempted - Sound alerts — configurable sounds on tag and on blocked commands - Timer reset — hitting again resets the countdown to full duration - Bypass permission — for staff who should never be tagged - Ender pearl friendly — ender pearls do not trigger combat tagging - Live reload — /combatme reload applies config changes instantly ---

How It Works

Player A hits Player B
  ├─ Both are combat-tagged for 10 seconds (configurable)
  ├─ Action bar: :::::::::::: (red)
  ├─ Player A chat: "You hit Steve! You are now in PVP mode for 10 seconds."
  └─ Player B chat: "You're on PVP mode, cannot use any TP command until 10 seconds."

Player B tries /home while tagged
  ├─ Command is cancelled
  └─ Action bar: "You are in PVP! Cannot teleport for 7 seconds!"

10 seconds pass without combat
  ├─ Action bar: :::::::::::: (white flash, then clears)
  └─ Chat: "You are no longer combat-tagged."

FAQ

Does this work with EssentialsX? Yes. EssentialsX commands like /home, /warp, /tpa, and /back are all blockable via blocked-commands in config. Does this work with CMI / other home plugins? Yes, as long as you add the command to blocked-commands in config. Do ender pearls count as combat? No. Ender pearl throws do not trigger combat tagging by design. Can I change how long the tag lasts? Yes. Change combat-duration in config.yml and run /combatme reload. ---
