# \u2694 GracePeriod+<\/p>\n
**GracePeriod+** is a PaperMC plugin that protects new and specific players from PvP (and optionally mobs) for a configurable amount of time \u2014 perfect for survival, SMP, and competitive servers.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– **New player grace period** – automatically protects players the first time they join
\n– **Server-wide grace period** – disable PvP for all players with a live countdown timer
\n– **Per-player grace** – grant individual players an additional grace period at any time
\n– **Mob protection** – optionally prevent mobs from targeting or damaging grace players
\n– **Action bar \/ BossBar timer** – real-time countdown shown above the hotbar or at the top of the screen, with a smooth fade-out when done
\n– **LuckPerms integration** – automatically assigns and removes a configurable `[GRACE]` group with a coloured prefix while a player is protected
\n– **Persistent grace periods** – grace timers survive server restarts and player disconnects
\n– **Live config reload** – change settings without restarting the server<\/p>\n
