You're winning a fight. Your opponent is on two hearts. They press Disconnect.

With Clash, that's the worst decision they'll make all day. Hit another player and you're both in combat for 15 seconds: a boss bar counts down, escape commands stop working, and anyone who logs out before it ends dies on the spot, dropping everything for the winner.

✨ Features

⚔ Combat tag

• Hit a player (sword, bow, trident, splash potion, TNT, lingering cloud, even your tamed wolf) and both of you are tagged
• Every hit resets the timer
• Hits cancelled by WorldGuard, team plugins or PvP toggles never tag anyone
• Creative/spectator players, NPCs (Citizens & co.) and disabled worlds are ignored
• Optional: tag players hurt by mobs too

📊 Clean, live display

• Boss bar with your opponent's name and a smooth countdown that turns yellow when the fight is nearly over
• Optional action bar timer
• Subtle sounds when you enter and leave combat

☠ Combat-log punishment

• Logging out while tagged kills you: items drop where you stood
• Server-wide broadcast + a harmless lightning strike for drama
• Run any console commands (eco take <player> 100, ban, …)
• Kicks (staff, anti-cheat) are not punished by default; timeouts (pulling the cable) are
• The vanilla death message is replaced by Clash's broadcast so chat stays clean

🚫 No escape

• Blocked commands: /spawn, /home, /tpa, /rtp, /warp, /back and more out of the box
• Aliases and namespaces are caught automatically (/essentials:home, /h, …)
• Blacklist or whitelist mode
• Ender pearls: longer cooldown (default 8 s) or blocked completely
• Elytra gliding is cancelled
• /fly is switched off and given back when the fight ends
• Teleports from commands and plugins are cancelled

🛠 For admins & developers

• /clash tag, /clash untag <player|*>, /clash list, /clash reload
• Full MiniMessage support (gradients, hex colors, click events)
• English & Polish included, add any language as a file
• PlaceholderAPI: %clash_in_combat%, %clash_time%, %clash_opponent%, %clash_status%
• Developer API: ClashAPI.isInCombat(player) plus PlayerCombatTagEvent, PlayerCombatUntagEvent and PlayerCombatLogEvent (cancellable)
• Native Folia support: every player is handled on their own region thread
• Update checker (can be turned off)

📦 Installation

1. Drop Clash-x.y.z.jar into plugins/

That's it. No dependencies, no database.

💬 Commands

Aliases: /combat, /ct, /combattag

🔑 Permissions

Bypass permissions are not given to ops automatically, so staff fight by the same rules unless you say otherwise.

✅ Tested

Every release is tested automatically on real servers with bot players: Paper 1.20.6, 1.21.4, 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and Folia 1.20.6. The tests cover tagging, the timer and expiry, blocked commands and teleports, death, kicks, the combat-log kill with drops, broadcast and commands, and every admin command. It was also played by hand on a 26.1.2 client.

💡 Pairs well with

• GravesSystem: combat loggers' loot goes into a grave
• PlayerHeadDrop: a trophy for the winner
• Tpa & SetHome: blocked automatically during fights
