What it is good at
- Combat tagging
- Punishments/actions for logout while tagged
- Expansion system for integrations
What types of servers should consider it?
- Factions, LifeSteal and PvP servers
- Servers where logout should not be a safe way to escape combat
Pricing and distribution
The plugin is distributed as a free option. Check the official page for the current download source and license.
What to check before using it
- Compatibility can lag behind brand-new Minecraft/Paper releases; check the current expansion/core status before upgrading production.
Also check the plugin's current dependency list, migration notes and supported server versions on the official page before changing a production server.
Practical deployment check: CombatLogX uses configurable expansions and combat tags; default logout penalties can be too severe on laggy or crash-prone servers. Test teleport, commands and safe-zone exceptions.
Common questions
What does CombatLogX do?
Combat-tagging system designed to stop players from escaping PvP by disconnecting.
Is CombatLogX a plugin or a mod?
CombatLogX is listed here because it is used as a server plugin in its supported plugin environment. Some projects also publish builds for other platforms; use the official download page to choose the correct platform build.
Do players need to install it?
Most server plugins run server-side and do not require players to install the same JAR. Features that rely on resource packs, Bedrock bridges or optional client integrations can still change what the player must download or accept.
How do I install it?
Install a supported CombatLogX core and only the expansions needed for your combat rules. Set a short temporary tag duration and non-destructive penalty on a test server.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Have two test accounts start combat; verify the tag appears, specified commands are restricted and the tag expires. Check PvP safe zones and a simulated disconnect separately.
What if it does not load?
If players are tagged unexpectedly, trace which damage event or expansion caused it; inspect compatibility with PvPManager, WorldGuard and minigame plugins before changing punishments.
