PVP

Craftable Enchanted Golden Apples
Mojang removed the crafting recipe for Enchanted Golden Apples (aka Notch Apple, EGap, EGapple) in Minecraft 1.9.

Even though the EGaps are still obtainable in the game, from chests in certain locations, without a dupe they are too rare of an item to use in the vanilla game.

As Enchanted Sword is moving toward encouraging enjoyable PVP, the recipe for crafting these has been re-added. While an expensive item to craft, they are now a renewable resource.

Ghast Tears
While Ghast Tears can be obtained by killing Ghasts, to promote Crystal PVP on the server, Ghast Tears have been made available through a custom Piglin bartering table.

PVP Statistics
Enchanted Sword runs a PVP Statistics plugin, so everyone knows who is the top killer on the server.

Legitimate Data
Maybe you are wondering why all your kills on the server are not getting counted in the PVP Stats leaderboards? Read below for the details on why not all kills are counted.

There are some controls on entries into the leaderboards to keep the data legitimate. Only certain kills within the rules below will count as statistical kills.


 * 1) An aggressor can kill a victim a maximum of 2 times within a period of 15 minutes.
 * 2) Once 2 kills have been made on the same victim a cool down period of 30 minutes must expire.
 * 3) An aggressor can only kill the same victim for statistical benefit a maximum of 5 times.

Messages will be displayed to let the aggressor know they have hit a limit mentioned above for repeated kills against the same player.

These controls are in place to stop players from bringing an alt account onto the server and repeatedly killing it to get to the top spot.

Instead if a player wants to be top dog, s/he will need to kill a wide variety of players a maximum of 5 times spread out over a period of time.

Of course players can repeatedly kill the same player if that's what brings them joy, there just won't be any statistical benefit to it.

Leaderboards
Some of the leaderboards are obvious, some just have an acronym. So they are all listed below.


 * Kills -- Top 10 by number of kills on the server.
 * Unique Kills -- Top 10 by number of unique (player) kills on the server.
 * Killstreak -- Top 10 by killstreak on the server.
 * KDR - Top 10 by Kill / Death ratio on the server.
 * CHR - Top 10 by Critical Hit ratio on the server.
 * HMR - Top 10 by Hit / Miss ratio on the server.
 * Deaths -- Top 10 by number of deaths on the server.
 * Bounties -- Not implemented as the server does not have a monetary based economy.
 * Levels -- Not implemented. This is a level / rank system built into the PVP statistics plugin.
