Should we show player's health bars?

    If you change your opinions after actually PvPing, just reply letting us know why.

    I like the player health thing so now you don't need to ask after a fight. Oh I so had you at like how many hearts?

    It just takes a huge part of pvp away with your opponent knowing your health.

    I love the health bar. It only appears when your within 5 blocks of someone, so it's a pretty short distance

    I have to agree with Dreamz on this one. While I haven't actually pvped since the plugin was installed, I think it takes some of the strategy out of pvp. With the plugin, you can't bluff about your health any more, and it is much easier for people to select and pick off weak targets in the event of a group fight. I have won a few fights with very little health left because the other person got low on health too and tried to flee. Admittedly, I'm not a huge pvper (cause i suck at it) and this won't affect me as much, but there's my opinion.

    I agree it takes strategy out of PvP, but it also adds more because you can see your opponent's health now.

    And the reverse is a disadvantage, the opponent can see your health.

    It removes one area for strategy in PvP, and I agree fully with RandomOne's example. It also can bee switched around to where the opponent thinks you have low health when you have high health. Normally, they'd keep fighting, but with the plugin they'll see you're doing well and retreat

    Idgaf. Honestly, whatever is easier and reduces lag is best here.

    Looks like most players have voted to keep player health. Invisi pots will make your health not shown.

    Yeah there's a bug with that, mob's health is sometimes shown in hearts, which I like better too, but you can see it from any amount of blocks away... It gets really annoying walking around town and seeing nameplates underground everywhere haha.

    I will update the plugin and look at the config.
