MaceCooldown - Balanced PvP Combat Plugin

MaceCooldown is a lightweight and essential plugin designed to bring balance to mace combat in your Minecraft server. With the introduction of maces in recent Minecraft versions, many server owners have discovered that these powerful weapons can be overpowered in PvP scenarios, leading to unfair advantages and frustrating gameplay experiences. This plugin solves that problem by implementing a smart cooldown system that prevents mace spam while maintaining the weapon's unique characteristics. When a player successfully hits another player or entity with a mace, they must wait a configurable amount of time before they can deal damage again with any mace. ⚔️ Key Features

Visual Feedback: Players see Minecraft's native cooldown indicator - the familiar clock-like sweep animation that appears over the mace item, just like with ender pearls or shields. This provides clear visual feedback about when the weapon will be ready again. Configurable Timing: Server administrators can easily adjust the cooldown duration through the config.yml file. The default setting is 5 seconds, but this can be modified to match your server's specific balance requirements. Smart Detection: The plugin only triggers cooldowns on actual successful hits, not on missed swings or interactions with blocks. This ensures that combat feels natural while preventing abuse. Lightweight Performance: Built with efficiency in mind, MaceCooldown uses minimal server resources and won't impact your server's performance even with hundreds of players online. Simple Administration: Includes a convenient /reloadconfig command that allows administrators to adjust settings without restarting the server, making balance tweaks quick and easy during gameplay.

Perfect for survival servers, PvP arenas, faction servers, or any environment where balanced combat is important. MaceCooldown ensures that maces remain powerful and fun to use while preventing them from dominating your server's combat meta.
