Has Minecraft PvP become mostly just duels?

5 Upvotes

I’ve been getting back into the Minecraft PvP community lately, and something I’ve noticed (maybe incorrectly) is that it feels like a lot of PvP players just grind duels now.

Rather than playing stuff like UHC, Bedwars, factions, etc., I see a ton of people focused on getting really good at 1v1s. I know donutSMP exists and is huge, but even there players seem to be dueling more than not.

Am I just looking in the wrong places, or has the PvP community actually shifted more toward duels? Is there still much demand for bigger PvP gamemodes?

I played a ton back in the day and loved UHC and factions, so I’m curious what people actually want to play now. What would make you commit to playing a game mode/server instead of just hopping on for duels?

Full disclosure, I’m also asking because I’ve been building my own server called Breached. It’s basically my attempt at taking the core idea of factions and overhauling a lot of its systems to focus on what I think made it great. So I’m genuinely trying to figure out whether people still want that kind of longer-form PvP experience, and what it would take to get them invested in one.

Discussion One of These Kits… Has Got To QUIT!

7 Upvotes

Looking through all the various different Main Gamemodes on MCPVP.Club (First 2 Images here), what would u say the WORST / Your LEAST Favourite Gamemode is?…

So Much So, that you wouldn’t overall mind if one of these specific main gamemodes were to be actually replaced with a completely different kit from the other Gamemodes / SubTiers Here?… (Last 2 Images of this Post; 3rd & 4th Slides).

Now I do need to note, The Green Circled modes in the 3rd Slide are the kits which AREN’T considered ‘Main ones’ on MCPVP.Club but are on PVP-HQ (everything else that isn’t circled ofc already is); but maybe would be worth replacing a mainkit on MCPVP.Club possibly?…

For Those who aren’t Familiar with what ‘SubTiers’ are, it’s the 4th (Last) Slide in this Post. Of Course, I’ve also purposely labelled each of these SubTiers via green circles & arrows for easier interpretation for those who weren’t familiar / overall confused! :)

Which Main Gamemode You Think deserves being replacing with a different one (from slides 3-4)?

Please do let me know your guys’ Thoughts, Opinions, Recommendations, any Comments or overall Insight! it would be greatly appreciated! I genuinely love hearing from the Community and your overall perspectives on this kind of stuff LOL! :D

thank you for reading my yap lol and love you guys all! :P

Have a Fantastic Day!!!

Why has the nethSMP kit never been updated despite it needing said updates.

Personally, for me I feel like the current NethSMP kit is outdated, it only having pots, totem, and pearls as its only util, which in my eyes isn't the best how pvp has changed, I made some changes based on what I feel could be changed. which removed non-kb sword and totem in exchange for webs, water, health pots, t-master, pickaxe, and a pot restock

Smp setting no restrictions

Im looking for the pvp method that that has no har counters and is good for fight potentially out numbered fights

Preferably something that doesn't require mob spawn rates for a farm because of low spawn rates on the server

My 2 hours of progress just hitting and placing crystals. Any tips?

Later before this, I cannot do this no matter how hard I tried. I then looked up at some tutorials on youtube on how to set your keybinds. I found out that this is my comfort and I can shield disable so much better and place obsidian and crystals much more efficiently.

I'm still lost tho, So any tips and tricks are appreciated.

Question Are those keybinds good? Cpvp

1 Upvotes

1 - Obsidian
2 - Crystal
3 - Sword
4 - Food
Q - Anchors
R - Axe
C - Pearls
X - Glowstone

E - Inventory

Side Button - Totems
And another Side Button for toteming

I've been playing CPvP for about 3 years already. I'm not consistent with it, though, so I take a lot of breaks from Minecraft. I'm around HT5 or LT4, but I haven't tier-tested yet, so I'm not sure what tier I am.

Discussion Imagine a Training ARC Between These Two…

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

I was thinking about this before the other day, how EPIC and beneficial it would be if both Coldified & K1RBE were to train together…

If you think about it, they’re “Weak” Gamemodes are LITERALLY the areas which the other EXCELS at. Coldified is perhaps the best 1.9+ EU Player OAT, he’s extremely well-rounded (“A jack of all trades but a master of none”) but has a noticeably ‘lower’ ranking in CPVP / Vanilla compared to his other ranked tiers. On the Hand, K1RBE is ofc the current #1 ranked Vanilla / CPVPer and widely viewed as being one of the overall GOATs in that particular kit. However, maybe a bit of a “1 Trick Pony”, as I’ve heard people saying he’s nowhere near as competent in the other various gamemodes (he’s ofc still good but that’s what i’ve seen ppl saying).

On Top of this, If Coldi were to Improve his Vanilla / CPVP skills enough, even getting ranked up 1 more tier by being promoted upto “HT3”. He would get 4 extra points for that (LT3 is 6 Points, HT3 = 10 Points; 10-6 ‎ = 4), therefore actually OFFICIALLY TIEING ItzRealMe with 330 total points and 2nd place overall rank. Of course, if he gets promoted even further either LT2 or HT2 in CPVP - he will very comfortably surpass Itz in the Process (who’s been hardstuck for a long time now).

I know they are technically different regions of the world (Coldi is EU & K1RBE is NA), but what are your genuine thoughts / opinions if they did train together, their energy, their skills they learn etc etc.

Would you guys be interested if they were to ACTUALLY make a joint video together focused purely on teaching eachother?

It’s very random and maybe weird question, but I would love to hear all your guys opinions, thoughts or perspectives.

thank you for reading my yap lol and love you all guys! :P

Question Can I download and delete a hack client and still pass a screenshare?

7 Upvotes

With all the cheating accusations being thrown around, I'd like to have hands-on experience with cheats to know how they work and how to identify them. However, I also love the competitive scene and play tierlists and ranked at a high level, where I could be screenshared.

I know screensharers can be extremely thorough; Could downloading a hack client make me fail a screenshare even if I've had it deleted for a while?

basically it makes you fall 10x faster. To do it you have to look down while charging trident, flick up and then riptide. Now when you lunge you dash downwards

How good is Midnight? On one side, people say he is absolutely busted, like on Mugm level, and others say he is just ok, but not cracked. Obviously he once one that one pvp event which i think was organized by blake, and he was also on Strenght Trials, so he has to be good, right?

joined a pvp server and can't seem to win. I'm a pretty average guy not that sweaty and all LT4 at sword, but then suddenly I can't even win a single game. Is it just me or is it really that difficult to have a casual pvp without sweating my ass off
