Server-Side Attack Damage Toggle,

Many Minecraft server owners want to use modern versions of the game but still prefer the fast-paced combat style of version 1.8. Currently, removing the attack cooldown requires attribute commands, datapacks, or mods.

Suggestion:
Add a new option to the server.properties file:

attack_cooldown=true  # default value

• When attack_cooldown=false, all players on the server would have no attack cooldown, allowing classic PvP.

• When true, the standard 1.8+ cooldown mechanic remains.

• This makes it easier to manage server behavior without mods or complex workarounds.

• It improves accessibility for casual server admins and increases PvP gameplay flexibility.

• This would be a simple but powerful addition for the community, especially those who want to keep gameplay updated but still enjoy old-school combat mechanics.
