Combat tags and cooldowns
How long to wait, what combat blocks and what happens if you disconnect.
Combat tag: 30 seconds
A PvP hit tags both players for 30 seconds. Another hit renews that time without shortening a longer tag. Death ends the tag. Disconnecting while tagged kills you with the usual losses.
Actions blocked during combat
Convenience teleports cannot be used to escape: homes, spawn, warps, back, teleport requests or faction home. Direct trades and crafting or Ender Chest menus are blocked. Fast swimming and elytra flight stop. The Escape scepter has its own conditions.
