PvP Chunk Manager

Advanced Localized PvP Management for Fabric 1.21.x & 26.x

PvP Chunk Manager is a lightweight, server-side utility designed for server owners who want to create high-stakes PvP zones (like custom arenas or dangerous islands) while keeping the rest of the world completely safe. It allows you to bypass gamerule pvp false in specific chunks and enforces strict combat rules to prevent players from chicken-ing out of fights.

Key Features

• Multi-Version Combat: Fully compatible across all Fabric 1.21.x releases (including 1.21.11) and the latest 26.x snapshots/releases.
• Localized PvP Bypass: Enable PvP in specific chunks, even if global PvP is turned off.
• Combat Tagging: Automatically tags players when they deal or take damage.
• Mace-Friendly Flight: Tagged players can still use Elytras and Ender Pearls, but only within a set radius around the PvP zoneperfect for setup and landing those massive Mace smash attacks!
• Escape Prevention: Players attempting to flee the combat zone will hit invisible walls or be teleported back.
• Anti-Combat Log: Punish players who disconnect mid-fight to deny enemies their loot.
