It would be possible to create a plugin, make it simple to set up, to disable the damage when hitting with an object in hand? The idea is, by default, the damage is disabled on all objects, unless you specify in the configuration file. Example of "config.yml": Damage caused (in hearts) by groups: Permissions: - controldamage.bypass This node disables damage control, the group has it, cause normal damage, with all blocks, and with the damage it causes each one by default. Name for plugin: Control Damage
Bump, i'm also looking for a plugin like this - http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/req-class-weapon-damage-pvp-mod.112843/. I'm guessing it isn't much different than this (modifying damage per class).
