☮ TownyPacifist

A lightweight Towny addon that enforces peace for peaceful towns — everywhere, not just within their borders.

📖 About

Many servers struggle with a common problem: players from peaceful towns getting killed by aggressive towns, or peaceful town members attacking others without consequence.

TownyPacifist solves this by hooking directly into Towny's own peaceful flag (/t toggle peaceful). No custom data, no extra commands — if a town is marked as peaceful in Towny, this plugin enforces that everywhere on the map.

✨ Features

• Zero custom storage — reads directly from Towny's isNeutral() flag
• Bidirectional protection — peaceful towns can't attack OR be attacked
• Arena support — peaceful players can still PvP inside Towny arena plots (/plot set arena)
• EventWar integration — works naturally alongside EventWar's neutrality system
• SiegeWar integration — respects SiegeWar's own peaceful town system when installed
• TownyCaptureSites integration — allows peaceful players to fight inside capture sites when installed
• Multi-language — ships with 9 languages (en-US, pt-BR, es-ES, fr-FR, de-DE, zh-CN, ru-RU, pl-PL, tr-TR)
• Lightweight — a single event listener, no databases, no commands
• Cross-platform — runs on Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur and Folia

⚙️ How It Works

TownyPacifist listens to TownyPlayerDamagePlayerEvent and checks both players' towns using Towny's API:

Player A hits Player B
  └─ Is either player from a neutral (peaceful) town?
       ├─ No  → do nothing, let Towny handle it normally
       ├─ Yes → are they inside an arena plot?
       │         ├─ Yes + arenas allowed → permit combat (no spam, notified on entry)
       │         └─ No  → cancel damage + send message
       └─ Both peaceful → cancel damage + specific message

The "peaceful" status is set by the town mayor using Towny's own command:

/t toggle peaceful

No TownyPacifist commands needed.

🌍 Adding a Language

1. Go to plugins/TownyPacifist/lang/
2. Copy en-US.yml and rename it (e.g. es-ES.yml)
3. Translate the messages
4. Towny picks it up automatically — no config change needed
