A tagger taking thorns damage doesn&#8217;t tag themself<br \/>\n&#8211; If there are multiple taggers, they each have their own cooldown<br \/>\n&#8211; Tags are only removed from the tagger who tagged another player,<br \/>\n  not from any other taggers<br \/>\n&#8211; Only the admin can change settings for the cooldown and tag announcements<br \/>\n&#8211; When a tagger is still under cooldown, attempting to tag a player will<br \/>\n  show the tagger how long they have left on their cooldown<br \/>\n&#8211; A tagger cannot become a normal player by swapping\/removing their team<br \/>\n  &#8211; Instead, an admin must call `\/execute as <player> run function tag:become_normal`<\/p>\n<p>## Issues<\/p>\n<p>Please report any issues or change requests on the GitHub repository<\/p>\n<p>## License<\/p>\n<p>This datapack and its files are made available under a GPLv3 license.
