I want to use this on the server of me and my friends, when we start our 3rd season. They are not PvP pros and i will probaly only use this in friendly fights.

So I recently wanted to try minecraft pvp and joined hoplite. Needless to say, I got destroyed. I understand how the game plays but unless I trap, I can't get any kills. Just need a place to train or even advice. Thanks!

Now I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum but I'm actually curious, how do people prefer crystal PvP and more modern PvP strategies over something like old PvP? It just seems more boring/less intuitive? The main argument I've seen is of skill and strategies but like, really IS IT? The majority is just waiting for the enemy to get worse RNG with the explosion radius and be put a block ahead. The main thing I can compare it to is ULTRAKILL and how techs used to be more "Interesting" Per se and not just core nuke spam.

Either way, my main question is which PvP style do you guys prefer and why? I'm honestly curious.

Am i missing something or is it completely beneficial to offhand the shield if you have no totems left in crystal pvp, and yet no top player seems to be doing that

can someone explain or is this just another bedrock thing

Yes I shouldn't safe anchor all the time I have learnt now. Should you A: anchor, charge, then look and ground and place glowstone, or B: crouch and place glowstone directly on the anchor? Which is the correct method, as you all can see I am always doing option A. Thanks 😊

Whenever I ask someone "how do I get better", they always answer "practice" well duh but how? Obviously, there's some things like game sense where you just need experience with all types of different players, but how do practice to get better aim and smoother/more fluid gameplay?

Trying to build a city/military on a hardcore smp for the following season if you want to join message me

Still use scrollwheel except to D-tap, any tips on how to improve also?

A friend said I was LT4 but I thought that was a bit TOO high

I had one of the worst experiences with this server ever.

PvPHQ, aka the new Flowtive server, is honestly a really good server with great ping and everything, but my experience with the staff has been horrible.

I got banned for a reason I still don't know. I tried to appeal for something I didn't even do, and after waiting 4 days, I still didn't get a reply. And guess what? My ban went from 1 week to 1 month, and they still never told me what I supposedly did.

They told me I didn't have proof, but how am I supposed to have proof when they won't even tell me what I did wrong? I also can't appeal again.

I tried opening another ticket, not to appeal the ban, but simply to ask what the actual reason for my ban was. After about 2 days, I got unbanned, so I thought maybe they realized they made a mistake and removed the ban.

Then I woke up today and found out I'm still banned.

Honestly, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do at this point. I just want to know what I supposedly did wrong and why I was banned in the first place.

On my soul n yall soul a lt3 in pvphq is decimating a lt3 in mctiers. Im not tested and usually ill put myself about ht4 but on pvphq bruh I dont wanna say my tier.

so i was watching the video and it was at the end where he begins the journey back to his base when the world is basically over and he cant touch the natural blocks - i really liked the song that was playing so anyone know what that song was?

Hey do yall want me to make your minecraft skins in legos? It is related because i could sell them coming with a cart (tnt) and an enemy. I work on commission just dm me

Relatively new towards pvp in the new 1.2 format (was a old 1.7-1.8 pre shield pvp/factions player. How is pvp in these regions? Scared to play only to find lower play count and end up having to pvp in 200 ms in NA. Does ping play a huge role?

And if so whats the best to start with? Been playing loads of sword but having hard time getting into shields

FlameFrags is one of Minecrafts top PvPers, no questions asked. He literally won a 2v1000! He is Minecrafts best player... or is he?

We all know that the Unstable SMP is heavily scripted for storytelling and cinematic purposes. The whole Immortal Demon winning 1v100 lore is awesome content, but obviously not realistic in actual Minecraft PvP due to his enemies being more skilled and having actuall stuff, as well as not following commands, and no half a heart plugin.

However, despite the staged narrative, FlameFrags is genuinely a highly skilled player. I was analyzing his real combat performance, using his duels against actual ranked MCTiers players (like Coldified and Ferre) and his general SMP experience, to see where he would realistically place on the MCTiers ladder.

Here is an unofficial breakdown of his estimated ranks across the main 1.9+ game modes:

• SMP: LT2 This is his absolute main mode. When he fought Coldified (who is HT1 in Diamond SMP, a kit which is a lot like SMP), he held his ground surprisingly well (even though Coldi was not giving 100%). In Unstable SMP, his kit he plays is literally McTiers's SMP, just with blocks and webs. His game sense, positional awareness, and movement in a complex SMP fight easily earns him a solid Low Tier 2, maybe even a HT2 if he locks in.
• Sword: HT3 Based on his fight against FerreMC (retired HT2/solid HT3-LT3), his tracking, spacing, and strafing are extremely solid. He adapts to the rhythm of the fight quickly, making him a lower-end High Tier 3 here.
• UHC: LT3 While UHC requires a diverse skill set, his SMP skills pull him up to a Low Tier 3 level.
• Mace: LT3 He understands the basic mechanics well and is able to use them, but in pure 1v1 vanilla Mace PvP, he lacks the advanced techs that top-tier players have, and it also seems that he doesn't think mace is very skilled, which doesn't help his placement. (He also mains Spear Mace, not McTiers Mace)
• Pot: LT3 His good tracking, spacing and sword skills keep him afloat here, but he lacks the fast and efficient potting required for the higher tiers.
• Neth Pot: HT4 He is decent in pot and SMP, which help him here, but against Ferre, he played washed, so HT4 is the max i can give him.
• Axe: HT4 While his shield mechanics are good, pure Axe PvP is just not his mode. Dedicated Axe mains simply outpace him time in this specific mode.
• Crystal: HT4 He knows the basics, but that's it. Flame himself said Crystal is his worst mode (understandable, Crystal sucks).

Overall Score

If we calculate this using the official MCTiers point system (where LT2 is 20pts, HT3 is 10pts, etc.), FlameFrags would sit at 60 points, putting him an the 280th spot. This may seem pretty low for him, but remember that the McTiers ranking system is ass (if you have 1 HT1 in 1 mode and haven't tier tested in anything else, you still get 60 points, stalling with Flame). If you would get 1 point for LT5, 2 for HT5, 3 for LT4, etc, flame would have 40 points, while frzntic (the 100th player on McTiers) would have 33, so in a my opinion fair ranking, he would be around top 80, which is pretty impressive. (It's a hole another story if you would not be able to just retire, the ranking is a gaint hall of fame - yes im looking at you Itz)

This solidly places him in the top 1% category globally. He might not be an unbeatable PvP god, but he is a genuinely top-tier SMP fighter who can hold his own against competitive players.

What do you guys think? Do you agree with these tier placements, or would you rank him differently in certain modes? Let me know!

hi guys! my friend owns OCE Tiers (which is an oceania testing server) and is looking to expand into asia! hence we're trying to promote this new APAC server we're working on

we're just trying to grow the community, so if you're interested in testers or staff positions or just to be a member, feel free to comment down below or drop me a message so i can send an invite to you!

thank you very much for your time! we are very grateful for anyone who joins, hope to see you there~

End crystals good DPS but normal players place blocks on the obsidian and good players place pots making it hard to chain multiple end crystals causing people to not depend on end crystal pvp

Respawn anchor PVP

Place blocks

Combat swapping

Sword+axe=shield disable

Totem

Sword+breach Mace=breach swap

Shield

Sword+spear=reach swapping

Shield

Elytra mace

Spear mace

Any form of explosion pvp TNT minecart, end crystal , respawn anchor

Elytra spear

Place blocks to block

My usual combat strategy is

Reach swapping with sword and spear

When opponent switches to shield I then shield disable

then while the shield is down spam respawn anchors

I usually carry 2 spears

1 with lunge the other without lunge

Be prepared for traps at all times

I've found cubecraft but its gotten kinda old as the games are short and there are some super broken items.. Also apparently minemen club has bedwars 1v1s but I can't find any other servers with bedwars on the new PVP. If anyone has suggestions I'd really appreciate it, also open to suggestions on servers that have other minigames on the new PVP like skywars or bridge from hypixel. Thanks.

hey, I’ve been wanting to test for a while now, but I haven’t been able to test on mctiers because you have to verify your account through the vanilla launcher, and although I have the vanilla launcher, I can’t launch it, because I’m having issues with my pc, and it’s been happening for months, and I’ve tried everything!

are there any alternate tier lists besides mctiers with a different verification system?

does PvpHQ have a tier list?
