SimplePVE is exactly what the name suggests: a simple and easy-to-use PVE plugin for Rust servers. It allows server owners to control and customize PVE rules individually, either through the config or with a clean in-game CUI. You can also create, edit, and manage PVE/PVP schedules directly, making it easy to run full PVE servers, purge events, or hybrid PVE/PVP setups.

FAQ
Question: Does SimplePVE require server.pve to be set to false?
Yes, it requires server.pve set to false.
Question: Where can I change the rules for my PVE server?
You can use the `/sprules` command to open the in-game CUI rule manager. You must have the `simplepve.admin` permission assigned to use this command.
Question: PVE/PVP schedules times are not working properly, why is that happening?
You may need to adjust the `UTC Time Difference` value in the config. Make sure the UTC offset matches your server’s intended timezone. For more details, please check the Info tab below.
Question: How do I enable or disable PVE manually?
You can use `/simplepve on` to enable PVE and `/simplepve off` to disable it. You need the `simplepve.admin` permission to use these commands.
Question: Can I create automatic PVP purge schedules?
Yes. SimplePVE supports scheduled PVP/PVE times, allowing you to automatically enable PVP during purge events and return to PVE when the schedule ends.
Question: Can I do Weekly schedules like Sunday To Friday or specific date to another date?
Yes. SimplePVE supports both option and you can only use one of them at once.
Question: Can admins damage players or entities while PVE is enabled?
Yes, but only if the admin damage settings and permissions allow it. The permission `simplepve.admindamage` is used for admin damage access.
Question: Why is damage still happening during PVE mode?
This usually means one of your rules allows that damage type, or another plugin is modifying damage before or after SimplePVE. Use `/spdebug` to help debug which rule is being applied.
Question: What does `/spdebug` do?
The `/spdebug` command helps you debug damage rules. It can be useful when you are trying to understand why damage is blocked or allowed.
Question: Can admins damage players or entities while PVE is enabled?
Yes, but only if the admin damage settings and permissions allow it. The permission `simplepve.admindamage` is used for admin damage access.
Question: How does loot protection work?
Loot protection prevents players from looting protected entities or containers, depending on your config settings. Admins can be allowed to bypass this using the `simplepve.adminloot` permission.
Question: Can I exclude specific entities from loot protection?
Yes. You can add entity shortnames to the `Loot Protection Excluded Entitys` list in the config.
Question: Does SimplePVE support zones?
Yes. SimplePVE supports Zone Manager, allowing you to create different PVE/PVP behavior inside specific zones.
Question: Can I exclude specific zones from SimplePVE rules?
Yes. You can add zone IDs to the `Exclude Zone IDs From Rules` config option.
Question: Can SimplePVE send Discord notifications?
Yes. SimplePVE can send Discord embed messages when PVP purge starts, ends, or when a scheduled event is approaching, depending on your Discord config settings.
Question: Can I run server commands when PVP purge starts or ends?
Yes. You can add commands to the config options for commands that run when PVP purge starts or ends.
