SMP Balance
SMP Balance is an SMP balance/control plugin for PvP servers that want strict rules without installing 10 separate plugins. You get damage tuning, cooldowns, combat-tag restrictions, item/effect/enchant rules, grace-period flow, and utility/monitoring tools in one place.

Why SMP Balance
- One plugin covers most competitive SMP balance needs.
- Fully configurable via
config.yml(large, documented config). - Good for seasonal SMPs, private PvP servers, and tournament-style worlds.
Install
- Put the plugin
.jarintoplugins/. - Start/restart the server once to generate
config.yml. - Tune settings and run
/smpbalance reload.
