What is parity? This category is designed just for features that exist but work one way on one platform, and another way on a different platform. Bugs are not parity! Items in snapshots and betas are subject to change so please be sure to only post about things that are currently released in Minecraft. Please read the intro post before you post!

← Parity

(Bedrock parity)make pvp a gamerule instead of a value in server.properties

If a bedrock server wants to disable pvp, they run '/gamerule pvp false' and are done.

If a java server wants to disable pvp, they currently have to edit the server.properties file and reboot the server. Besides this kicking all players, servers with lots of plugins will take a while to reboot.

Additionally, a local is unable to properly disable pvp as no server.properties file exists.

(Yes, it can be done via the /team command, however this breaks as soon as a new player joins as they are not in the team)

This issue would be solved by making pvp a gamerule like it already is on Bedrock edition.

This is a great idea for people who want coordinated teamwork or just don't wanna accidently hit their friend into lava. This should also be able to be done without cheats, because some people like me hate using cheats in survival mode. Remember to vote for your own idea!
