BetterCombatTimers

BetterCombatTimers is a lightweight, feature-rich combat management system built for competitive SMPs and PvP servers. It prevents "Combat Logging" (leaving to avoid death) while keeping players informed with a clean, non-intrusive on-screen countdown.

Features

Dynamic ActionBar Timer: No more checking chat! Players see a live countdown right above their hotbar.

Configurable World Support: Choose exactly which worlds have combat tagging, or enable it globally.

Anti-Combat Log: Automatically drop a player's inventory if they disconnect while tagged (fully toggleable).

Player Agency: Users can toggle their own on-screen text via commands if they prefer a cleaner UI.

Instant Reload: Update your settings on the fly with /bettercombattimers reload.

Commands

/bettercombattimers timer <on/off> — Toggle the entire system (Admin).

/bettercombattimers reload — Reload the config.yml (Admin).

/bettercombattimers screentext <on/off> — Toggle your own on-screen timer (Everyone).

Permission: bettercombat.admin (for admin commands)
