About this Mod
PvP Flag mod
Allows players to enter "PvP" mode.
Skull marks PvP flag enabled. People with PvP flag disabled (no skull) can not damage you as long as you don't have it enabled as well. In all other cases PvP works.
Default keybind: K
Version 2 came out (sorry for the wait lol)
Now we have:
- Adjustable pending timeout, cancled when doing damage or receiving damage
- Server config, no more gamerule setup
- Fabric NeoForge support, at least 1.20.1
If you don't get how PvP works with this mod refer to table below:
| Enemy's skull | Your skull | Can attack happen? |
|---|---|---|
| ENABLED | ENABLED | YES |
| ENABLED | DISABLED | YES |
| DISABLED | ENABLED | YES |
| DISABLED | DISABLED | NO |
Like in Project Zomboid.
Alternative logic
Need more classic enable disable logic? You can change it in server config.
On server check world/serverconfig/pvpflag-server.toml
Yes, this file can be customized per-world
If you are hosting local save, check save directory
People with PvP disabled will not take damage at all. Refer to the table below:
| Enemy's skull | Your skull | Can attack happen? |
|---|---|---|
| ENABLED | ENABLED | YES |
| ENABLED | DISABLED | NO |
| DISABLED | ENABLED | NO |
| DISABLED | DISABLED | NO |

PvP Flag server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is PvP Flag compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
PvP Flag officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.3. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with PvP Flag – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if PvP Flag consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
