Just as the title says, I can take damage from arrows shot by other players even when fe.protection.pvp is denied for me. I verified that the permission is valid because they can't hit me in melee. I play a mod which includes several new types of EntityProjectiles, so I would suggest making the fix apply to EntityProjectiles rather than simply EntityArrows.

Run a /p debug, and try to take damage from arrows again.

What do you see?

Afaik I added some code to handle projectiles like arrows by getting the source player from them and checking for permissions.
It might be though that this does not work that well yet....
Needs some investigation.

Is there an update on this issue? I'm setting up a 1.7.10 server right now and tested builds 1187, 1330 and newly released 1334 and encountered still the same problem...

Sorry it took so long to get back. I won't post the whole log here, but basically fe.protection.damageby.arrow = true while fe.protection.pvp = false. Might I suggest changing fe.protection.pvp to fe.protection.damageby.pvp and fe.protection.damageto.pvp and then adding normal smack damage and arrow damage under those two? Or whatever works for you.

@VulcanForge Has this issue been resolved?

@spacebuilder2020 I have no idea, I haven't run a server with Forge Essentials in two years.

Ok, I am closing this then.
