The Breakdown – How To Turn Off PvP on Your Minecraft Server

Hey everyone and welcome back to the breakdown today we’re gonna be showing you how to take your minecraft server and turn pvp off on it coincidentally it’ll also show you how to turn pvp on on it now we are assuming you have a vanilla server there are so many plugins

Out there that do and will affect pvp so um be prepared for that if you have plug-ins check this but most likely if you’re having issues with pvp it’s a plug-in issue world guard is one that can actually enable and disable pvp live in-game but um yeah we’re not talking

About those we are talking about on a vanilla server here nevertheless though we do have smart sponsor first which is apex minecraft hosting apex is the best way to start your very own minecraft server check out apex the first link down below the breakdown to x-ray slash

Apex to get your server up and running make sure you love and trust them so much we have star on server platformcraft.com on them so again trigger apex the first link down below the breakdown xyz slash apex and the last first thing i need to prove that

Pvp is even on on this server so we do have a server running here and then we’re going to go ahead and in the background join on in so this is the local server we’re going to join on in there and then we’re going to join on in

To the local server down here as well now by default we’re going to be in the um spawn protection right so that’s the thing uh because of that i don’t know i can i can go to pvp so as you can see we can pvp both accounts here so boom we

Are now smacking that account right like so and then we are from this account gonna be able to smack our nicks games account boom looking good so that proves pvp is on now we’re gonna go ahead shut this server down and prove that it is

Off so here it is pvp is on on that server we’re gonna go ahead turn it off so let’s go ahead and stop the server come over here stop stop hit enter shut the server down then we wanna go ahead and open our server basically folder

Where all of our main server files are then we want to go ahead and open up the server.properties file you can open this with notepad right like so if you would like but we’re going to go ahead and actually open it with our atom text editor link in the description down

Below it’s not sponsored by adam we just like them so um yeah i use them for these videos because i mean look there’s much better layout so anyway once you’re here you want to go ahead and scroll down until you find pvp currently by default pvp equals true meaning pvp is

Enabled on your minecraft server however if you want to turn pvp off what you need to do is change pvp equals true to pvp equals false f-a-l-s right like so pvp equals false means pvp will be turned off on your server for those plugins i was talking about like world

Guard usually you’ll want to leave pvps true actually and then the plug-in will turn it off themselves so keep that in mind for plugins however for just turning it off altogether you want to change pvp equals true to pvp equals false right like so that’s going to turn

Off pvp save your server.properties file right like so file save with your notepad adam or anything else close out of the server.properties file and start your server right on up i’m gonna do a quick jump cut and then i’ll meet you once this server has fired up and is

Running all right the server has now started up we can go ahead and join on into it right like so and once we’re in game we’re going to be able to see that pvp is turned off i cannot smack either of these accounts they are not they they they are they’re they’re not

They’re not working they’re not working the smacking is not working pvp is turned off basically that’s kind of that right so pvp is not working and that means pvp is in fact disabled boom and switch back to this one boom not gonna work not gonna happen pvp is disabled which means we have

Accomplished our mission like i said there are other plugins that will do this you can disable pvp or enable pvp using world guard that’s the most one or most common one that you’ll see this done with but overall it’s not needed to just turn off pvp you can just do it in

The server.properties file thanks so so much for watching if you enjoyed the video give it a thumbs up that’s not what are you doing this isn’t a pvp this is this is a mob completely separate completely separate thing all right anyway thank you so much for watching come play this on the best
