Disabling player vs player combat prevents players from damaging each other with weapons, making your server ideal for collaborative building projects or family-friendly gaming environments where cooperation is prioritized over conflict.
Follow these steps to disable PvP on your Minecraft server.

- Navigate to the Files section

What This Accomplishes
With PvP disabled, players won't be able to harm each other using swords, bows, potions, or any other weapons. This creates a safer, more collaborative environment perfect for building communities, educational servers, or any situation where you want players to focus on creativity rather than combat.
Players can still interact with the environment normally, including fighting hostile mobs and collecting resources together.
