# SmashThePing<\/p>\n
**Level the playing field for stun-slam combos in Minecraft PvP!**<\/p>\n
SmashThePing is a server-side plugin that normalizes ping for the stun-slam combat technique, allowing high-ping players to execute combos as effectively as low-ping players.<\/p>\n
## \ud83c\udfaf What is a Stun-Slam?<\/p>\n
A **stun-slam** is a powerful PvP combo where you:
\n1. Hit an opponent’s shield with an **axe** to stun\/disable it
\n2. Immediately follow up with a **mace** smash attack while they’re vulnerable<\/p>\n
Normally, this combo is extremely ping-dependent – players with 20ms ping can execute it flawlessly, while players with 200-500ms struggle to land the follow-up before the target’s invulnerability frames reset.<\/p>\n
## \u2728 Features<\/p>\n
– **\ud83c\udf0d Ping Normalization**: Gives all players an equal time window to execute stun-slam combos
\n– **\u2699\ufe0f Configurable Window**: Adjust the compensation window from 50ms to 2000ms
\n– **\ud83c\udfae Universal Compatibility**: Works on Paper\/Spigot 1.19+ servers
\n– **\ud83d\udd27 Easy Commands**: Simple commands with tab completion
\n– **\ud83d\udcca Real-time Tracking**: Monitor active combos with `\/smashping info`
\n– **\ud83d\udeab Toggle On\/Off**: Enable or disable compensation without restarting<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udce6 Installation<\/p>\n
1. Download the latest `.jar` file ## \ud83c\udfae Commands<\/p>\n | Command | Description | Example | **Aliases:** `\/sping`, `\/stunping`<\/p>\n **Tab Completion:** All commands and values support tab completion for easy configuration!<\/p>\n ## \u2699\ufe0f Configuration<\/p>\n The plugin creates a `config.yml` file automatically:<\/p>\n “`yaml – **Default:** 500ms (half a second) ### Choosing the Right Value<\/p>\n – **Low ping server (most players <100ms):** Use 200-300ms\n- **Mixed ping server:** Use 400-500ms\n- **High ping server (international players):** Use 500-750ms\n\n## \ud83d\udd27 How It Works\n\n1. Plugin detects when a player hits a blocking opponent with an axe\n2. Records the timestamp of this \"shield stun\" hit\n3. When the same player follows up with a mace within the configured window, the plugin temporarily removes the target's invulnerability frames\n4. The mace hit connects successfully, regardless of the attacker's actual network latency\n\n**Result:** A 500ms ping player can execute stun-slams just as effectively as a 20ms ping player!\n\n## \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Technical Details\n\n- **Server-side only** - no client mods required\n- **Lightweight** - minimal performance impact\n- **Compatible with:** Paper, Spigot, Purpur (1.19+)\n- **Supports all axe types:** Wooden, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite\n- **Mace detection:** Works with actual Mace items (1.21+) or falls back to hoes on older versions\n\n## \ud83d\udcca Example Use Cases\n\n### Scenario 1: International Server\nPlayers from Europe (50ms) and Asia (300ms) play together. With SmashThePing set to 500ms, both can execute stun-slams equally.\n\n### Scenario 2: Tournament Server\nLevel the playing field by ensuring all participants have the same combo timing window, making skill more important than ping.\n\n### Scenario 3: Practice Server\nHelp players practice stun-slam timing without worrying about their connection quality.\n\n## \ud83d\udc1b Troubleshooting\n\n**Commands don't work?**\n- Make sure you have operator permissions\n- Check that the plugin loaded successfully in console\n\n**Combo not triggering?**\n- Ensure you're hitting a blocking player with an axe first\n- Check your compensation window isn't too low (`\/smashping info`)\n- Verify the plugin is enabled (`\/smashping toggle`)\n\n**Performance issues?**\n- SmashThePing is very lightweight, but if you notice issues, lower the compensation window\n\n## \ud83d\udcdd Permissions\n\nBy default, all players can use the plugin. To restrict commands, add to your permissions plugin:\n\n```yaml\nsmashping.admin # Allows using all \/smashping commands\n```\n\n\n\n## \ud83d\udcdc License\n\nThis plugin is close source.
