# PvP and Combat

SemperMC is a competitive server. Entering combat means accepting the risk of losing equipment, position and hearts.

### Combat Tagging

When you damage or are damaged by another player, CombatLogX may tag you.

While tagged:

* Do not disconnect.
* Teleports and commands may be restricted.
* Leaving can create a punishment NPC or count as a combat loss.
* Safe-zone entry may be blocked.

Wait for the combat timer to expire before logging out.

### Preparation

Carry:

* A shield.
* Food and healing.
* Blocks.
* A water bucket.
* Spare arrows when using a bow.
* Only the equipment you are prepared to lose.

### Relics and Set Abilities

Custom equipment can change a fight:

* PvP idols generally belong in the offhand.
* Custom weapons belong in the main hand.
* Armor-set active abilities require the matching set and their listed activation.
* Cooldowns prevent repeated ability spam.

### Fair Play

Forbidden combat behavior includes:

* Hacked clients.
* X-ray.
* Automated combat.
* Duplication.
* Packet or desync abuse.
* Claim-protection bypasses.
* Deliberate exploitation of plugin bugs.

Report suspicious behavior through Discord rather than starting a public argument.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.sempermc.net/core-gameplay/pvp-and-combat.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
