LixPlusFairCombat v1.0

LixPlusFairCombat is a free, non-obfuscated plugin made for Minecraft servers where high ping should not turn into an unfair PvP advantage.

It does not try to "fix the internet". It gives server owners a clean and configurable way to reduce the combat impact of players with consistently high or unstable ping, while avoiding unfair punishment for one short lag spike.

Main Features

• Damage reduction for high-ping attackers
  The higher the attacker's stable ping is, the less damage they deal.
• Rolling average / median system
  The plugin does not rely on a single ping check at the exact hit moment. Ping is sampled over a time window, 15 seconds by default.
• Protection from short lag spikes
  If a player's ping jumps for one second, their damage will not instantly drop. The result feels more stable and less random.
• High ping kick option
  Players can be kicked if their ping stays above the configured limit for several checks in a row.
• Backend and proxy support
  One JAR supports Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, BungeeCord, Waterfall and Velocity.

Default Damage Tiers


Every value is fully configurable in config.yml. You can change ping ranges, damage multipliers, add more tiers, remove tiers, or disable damage reduction completely.

Backend Features

On Bukkit / Spigot / Paper / Purpur compatible servers, LixPlusFairCombat can:

• reduce damage from high-ping attackers
• handle melee hits
• handle projectile damage if enabled
• kick players for consistently high ping
• block access to specific worlds based on ping
• send players to a fallback world
• kick players if no fallback world is available

Proxy Features

On BungeeCord / Waterfall / Velocity, LixPlusFairCombat can:

• track rolling ping directly on the proxy
• kick players for consistently high ping
• block access to specific backend servers
• redirect players to a fallback server if configured
• use the same clean and readable config style

Important: proxy servers cannot modify combat damage because combat events happen on backend servers. Damage reduction works only on Bukkit / Spigot / Paper / Purpur compatible backend servers.

Everything is configurable:

• damage reduction toggle
• all ping tiers
• all damage multipliers
• rolling window length
• ping statistic mode: median or average
• ping sample interval
