## The problem
\nHave you ever engaged in an intense PvP battle, only to have your opponent disconnect abruptly? It\u2019s frustrating, right? You\u2019ve meticulously set up a trap, but they slip away because you missed their exact disconnection point. Cowards ruin the thrill of combat.<\/p>\n
## The solution
\nIntroducing Cowardless, the ultimate plugin for Minecraft warriors. Say goodbye to cowardly opponents who vanish mid-fight. Here\u2019s how it works:
\n1. **Clone Activation:** When you\u2019re in combat or constantly taking damage (think drowning or lava), Cowardless springs into action. If you attempt to disconnect, a clone takes your place on the server\u2014a mere illusion for other players.
\n2. **Transfer of Consequences:** But here\u2019s the twist: Everything the clone experiences\u2014position, health, inventory, even death\u2014gets transferred back to you when you log back in.
\n3. **Automatic Despawn:** Fear not! If spared and left unattended, the clone will eventually despawn, allowing you to enjoy the peacefulness of having disconnected.<\/p>\n
## The extra info
\nIn the `config.yml`(Paper\/Spigot), you can adjust how long a player is considered to be in combat, and how long a clone lasts before despawning. You can also turn on a logger that will print to the console when an NPC is spawned or despawned, and a feature that will add the red vignette effect to a player when they are in combat, so that they know not to disconnect. You can also exempt some disconnection reasons from spawning NPCs (**this feature is Paper only**).<\/p>\n
