# No Feather Attack
\n## _[aka Feather Attack Cancel]_<\/p>\n
Feather hit is not an attack \u2014 a small Paper plugin that turns feather hits into knockback-only interactions. It cancels damage (so villagers don\u2019t get angry and no damage side-effects fire) while still applying a light custom knockback.<\/p>\n
## Features
\n– Knockback-only feather hits: cancels the damage event and applies custom push.
\n– Per-player toggle via command `\/featherhit`.
\n– Auto-enable on player join (and on plugin reload for already-online players).
\n– Client language message support: `en_us`, `de_de`, `fr_fr`, `es_es`, `hu_hu`.
\n– Builds for multiple MC versions via Maven profiles (1.21.7 and 1.21.8).<\/p>\n
## Requirements
\n– Java 21 (Paper 1.21+ requires Java 21).
\n– PaperMC server 1.21.7 or 1.21.8 (matching the built JAR).<\/p>\n
## Installation
\n1. Download\/build the JAR for your server version (see Build section).
\n2. Place the JAR into your server\u2019s `plugins\/` folder.
\n3. Start the server. The plugin will create:
\n – `plugins\/NoFeatherAttack\/config.yml`
\n – `plugins\/NoFeatherAttack\/lang\/*.yml`<\/p>\n
## Commands
\n– `\/featherhit` \u2014 Toggle feather knockback-only mode for yourself.<\/p>\n
Permissions: none (by default all players can use the command).<\/p>\n
## Configuration
\nFile: `plugins\/NoFeatherAttack\/config.yml` (use spaces only, no TABs)<\/p>\n
Keys
\n– trigger-item: Uppercase Bukkit material name for the item that triggers the knockback-only hit. Default: FEATHER<\/p>\n
– knockback:
\n – min-charge: Number (0.0\u20131.0). Minimum attack cooldown required to apply knockback. 1.0 = fully charged. Default: 0.9
\n – horizontal: Number. Base horizontal strength of the knockback vector. Default: 0.6
\n – min-upward: Number. Ensures at least this upward (Y) component so hits don\u2019t push targets downward. Default: 0.35
\n – scale-by-charge: Boolean. If true, scales horizontal strength by the current attack charge (prevents weak spam from being as strong as full hits). Default: false
\n – clamp-velocity: Boolean. If true, clamps the target\u2019s final velocity magnitude to avoid \u201cstacking\u201d launches. Default: true
\n – max-velocity: Number. Maximum final velocity magnitude when clamping is enabled. Default: 1.2<\/p>\n
– behavior:
\n – auto-enable-on-enable: Boolean. When the plugin enables (e.g., server start\/reload), automatically enables the feature for players already online. Default: true
\n – auto-enable-on-join: Boolean. Automatically enables the feature for players when they join. Default: true<\/p>\n
Applying changes
\n– There is no reload subcommand; `\/featherhit` only toggles the feature for the executing player.
\n– To apply config changes, restart the server (or stop\/start).<\/p>\n
Language files
\n– Path: `plugins\/NoFeatherAttack\/lang\/`
\n– Fallback order: exact client tag (e.g., `de-de.yml`) \u2192 underscore form (e.g., `de_de.yml`) \u2192 `en_us.yml`.
\n– Color codes: use `&` (e.g., `&6`, `&a`).<\/p>\n

## Notes on Namespaced Command Suggestions
\nIf tab-complete shows a namespaced command like `\/nofeatherattack:featherhit`, this comes from the plugin name namespace. On Paper, you can hide namespaced suggestions by setting `send-namespaced=false` in `paper-global.yml` (or relevant Paper config for your version).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
