PvPArea

A Minecraft Paper server plugin that enables keepInventory and keepLevel within designated PvP areas.

Requirements:

Server must have Paper installed.

Features:

• Commands:
  • /pvparea list: available to all players - lists all active PvP areas
  • /pvparea clear-all: operator required - removes all active areas
  • /pvparea add <x-min> <x-max> <z-min> <z-max>: operator required - adds an area with the given bounds (inclusive)
• When players die within a PvP area, they respawn at their normal respawn point, retaining all inventory items and experience.
• No inventory items or experience are dropped upon death within a PvP area.
• Players are notified that they died within an area and that keepInventory and keepLevel were enabled.

Limitations:

• Currently only works in the overworld by grabbing the first world from Bukkit.getWorlds() whose environment is World.Environment.NORMAL.
• No current functionality for removing a single area from the list of active areas because of the way areas are saved as a single array of integers in the PersistentDataContainer.
  • A future update might change the way these integers are saved so that a single area can more easily be removed from the list.
• Designed for a small server and will not scale. A Set is scanned each time a player dies, checking to see if the death occurred in any of the active areas. With more players or a high number of areas, this could be time consuming.
  • In future, to achieve O(1) lookup time, will replace the Set with a Map, mapping each chunk that overlaps an area to that area. On death, only if the player is in one of these mapped chunks will coordinates be checked to see if they are within the corresponding area.
