# Player settings

What each player can turn off for themselves in /combat.

Not every player likes the same effects. Each one can switch these off (or back on) for themselves in `/combat prefs`, or with **Your settings** in `/combat`:

| Setting            | What it turns off                                                                                                                             |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Damage numbers** | The numbers over the players they hit                                                                                                         |
| **Red screen**     | The red screen edges at low health in combat                                                                                                  |
| **Death recap**    | The recap in the chat when they die (they get one short line instead)                                                                         |
| **Boss bar**       | The combat boss bar (the action bar stays)                                                                                                    |
| **Sounds**         | The sounds of the `sounds` section of `config.yml`: combat start and end, countdown, kills, bounties... (`[sound]` reward actions still play) |

* Everything is on for new players. Settings are saved in the database and kept between sessions.
* These only work where the option is on for the whole server: with `display.damage-indicators: false` nobody sees damage numbers.

## The player menu

`/combat` is the player's menu:

| Button               | What it does                                                                                     |

| PvP is ON / OFF      | Switches their PvP (when `pvp-toggle.enabled`)                                                   |
