Newfies Login Protection

Server-side QoL mod for Vintage Story 1.20.12.
Gives players temporary invulnerability when they finish joining the server. The protection duration is configurable and the mod notifies the player when protection starts and when it ends.

Features

• Join protection: Player takes no damage for a configurable time after fully loading in.

• Covers all damage sources: melee, fall, fire, etc. (handled in the damage pipeline).

• Clear messages:

  • On join: “Login protection active for _X_s.”

  • On end: “Login protection disabled — you can now take damage.”

• Multiplayer-safe & lightweight: Per-player behavior with a simple timer; no tick-heavy loops.

Configuration

• loginprotection.json

  • ProtectionSeconds (default 60)

  • AnnounceOnJoin (default true)

  • AnnounceOnEnd (default true)

Admin Command

• /loginprot <seconds> — Update protection length at runtime and save to config.
  (Requires controlserver privilege.)

Compatibility

• Server-only mod; no client install required.

• Target: Vintage Story 1.20.12.

• Works with other combat/utility mods since it cancels damage inside the standard entity damage callback.
