🛡️ How to Enable and Disable PvP on Your Minecraft Server
🌟 PvP (Player vs Player) is a feature that allows players to fight each other in Minecraft. Depending on the type of server you’re running, you might want to enable it to encourage player combat or disable it to create a more peaceful environment.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through step by step how to enable or disable PvP on your Minecraft server so you can tailor it to your needs. It’s very simple and only takes a few minutes!

Access Your Server Panel 💻
To get started, log in to your server panel. Then, go to the left-hand menu, click on “Files”, and locate the server.properties file. Click to open it.
Editing server.properties 📜
Once you’re inside the file, you’ll see a series of configurable options. The one we’re interested in is the pvp line.

On this line, you can configure PvP as follows:
PvP Enabled: pvp=true
PvP Disabled: pvp=false
Once you’ve edited the value, click “Save Changes” at the bottom right and restart/start the server.
