Hello LOTRmodded server owners, staff and players,

The PvP Mode mod is a serverside mod that allows players to disable PvP for themselves on servers while ensuring this cannot be abused and both PvP focussed and PvP shunning players have an improved gameplay experience.

PvP Mode mod & info
We have released the public BETA version, downloadable link: pvp-mode-1.1.1-BETA.jar

For a quick overview of what lead to this version, check this: changelog 1.1.1-BETA

All relevant info on the mod is to be found in this wiki: wiki

Purpose
The mod is developed for LOTRmodded servers which are typically populated by both PvP focussed players and players who are less or even not interested in PvP. Its aim is to provide both types of players a pleasant gameplay environment and to reduce overly complicated rules of engagement and intense staff monitoring, intervention and meddling as they struggle to maintain a pleasant atmosphere for all in their community.

Servers using the mod
At present, the mod is in use on the following servers:
 * Fellowships of Middle-earth
 * The First Age Server
 * Legends of Middle-earth
 * The Second Server That Won't Rule Anything

GitHub Workspace
The mod is open sourced and available at GitHub: PvP Mode mod @ GitHub

We will use this thread to communicate on progress, receive your feedback, discuss options and communicate on our progress.

The GitHub environment is open-source and so is the teams communication on what we plan to do and how we work. Feel free to check our current plans and progress @ GitHub.

What's next?
Work has been defined for v1.2.0-BETA. That version is expected to focus on improvements of the features added with v1.1.0-BETA:
 * Partial inventory loss upon death.
 * Biome-alignment dependent forced PvP Mode ON.
 * Blocked teleportation within a set time after PvP combat initiation.
