Discussion HT4 in End game, grinding for T3. Need advice.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

This is my recent clip, playing Crystal (not End game) against MT3. (don’t mind my tier in crystal, I play end game most of the time).

I’m stuck at HT4, and my ELO goes up and down, within the 35-75% range (i need 100% for tier test) because I’m winning against T4 players (sometimes I lose to HT4 players), and always lose to T3 players 0-2 (rarely it can be 1-2). When i fight T3 players, I can actually fight them, and I’m able to use 2-3 regear shulkers almost every round (i have 6 in my kit).

I noticed that I almost don’t use crystals in end game, because, when I even try to, it ends up bad for me. I also noticed 2 months ago that I didn’t use pearls much (when i didn’t know about MCPvP) , and now I’m trying to use them more often, but sometimes I just keep forgetting about it.

Is there any area(s) I should practice more, based on my clip or in general? Is there something bad I’m doing? Or is it mostly just about how and how many time I need to warp up before queuing, or something else?

Resource Pack: “Respawn Cauldrons” on Modrinth (if anyone wants it)

UPD: I almost don’t use shield in End game.

Discussion How does Dream still get sympathy

45 Upvotes

Its frustrating to see many famous personalities and lots of randoms pretty much say like “it is what it is” “yeah I think he cheats but who cares”. Like WHAT. I get the stripped logs was bullshit but that is not even 1% of what Dream has done. This is at least as bad as what Marlowww did, and when the truth about him came about, EVERYONE came out to say how fucked up it was.

Dream has cheated in MC championships (parkour, elytra and his usual aimbot), official speedruns (1.15wr), manhunts, duels and maybe even more. This means he has been lying and cheating FOR YEARS, just to keep his status as “good mc player”.

How do people take this so lightly, I never was a Dream fan or even watched his content, but in my opinion this should AT LEAST be grounds to ban him from ever getting invited to any events and ban on official speedruning. Its also ironic Marlowww, a know cheater, gave the ownership of their server to another cheater, so Id be carful with mcpvp.

Also I dont get the people how say that “they cant hate the guy” because he has gone through so much. Like he has grooming allegations and got doxxed (not really). How does that have a anything to do with cheating? That doesn’t change that he is a lying narcissist pice of shit. Imagine if someone had accused Danger Mario of grooming and suddenly “oh I cant hate the guy, he has gone though so much”. Like its so stupid.

Okay so basically this is just a little clip of me playing like 30 minutes ago, I'm relatively new to minecraft pvp, and I've been trying to learn how to fight in a specific kit, that being diamond smp, looking back at the clip my aim looks shaky, but any tips you guys have is much appreciated. Aiming to hopefully be LT4 by start of next year.

I'm building a near-vanilla semi-hardcore PvP server. Help me pick how death should work.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

-

I'm a 3D artist by day and I'm building a small Minecraft network in my free time. One of the servers is a semi-hardcore PvP / lifesteal server, kept as close to vanilla as possible: no custom weapon stats, no classes, no special abilities. The only custom stuff will be cosmetic skins (they change the look, never the stats). Before I lock anything in, I want to build it with the people who actually play this kind of mode.

-

## 💀 How should death work? Pick one

A. Classic lifesteal + temp ban

Start with 10 hearts, lose 1 when a player kills you. At 0 hearts: banned for 1 day, then longer each time (max 1 week). You come back with 5 hearts.

B. Every death = a short ban that stacks

No hearts. Each death bans you a bit longer: 1h → 2h → 4h → 1 day → 2 days → 3 days → 1 week (max). The counter slowly goes back down if you stay alive.

C. Hybrid

Lifesteal hearts (max 15). Every PvP death = a few minutes of ban that stacks. At 0 hearts = the big ban (1 day, then longer, max 1 week). Both counters go down if you survive.

In all cases: only deaths to players count, and you can shorten a ban by playing (a friend crafts a revive item, or you pay with in-game money). Never with real money.

-

## ⚔️ Small combat tweaks

- Crouch, lie down, crawl, even in fights. A smaller hitbox lets you dodge a sword swing or an arrow, but you hit weaker and bows/crossbows take 2x longer to draw while you're down.

- +10% damage from behind. Watch your back.

- No easy escapes. No /sethome (or 1 with a warm-up), and /tpa has a delay. No hit-and-run.

-

## 💬 Tell me

  1. A, B or C? (or something else)

  2. What makes you quit a PvP server?

  3. Seasons with resets and rewards, or one permanent world?

  4. Duels and tournaments: yes or no?

  5. Convenience perks like a portable /workbench or /enderchest: fine, or already pay-to-win?

-

Thanks for your time 🙏 I'll read every answer and post an update with what I change based on your feedback.

I have started playing PvP again and I feel so lost. I know that something was going on with Marloww, but I never looked into it, and now MCTiers is down? I'm just wondering if someone could give me a quick rundown, and if everyone is still using PvPClub, or if there's a new server.

Discussion Who are the modern t1s in every game mode

9 Upvotes

This is pretty self explanatory, I’m only gona rank on the kits I know what I’m on about and also the kits won’t just be the og mc tiers kits cause imo those were very flawed picks

UHC
> Ht1 - Swight( need I explain more )
> Lt1 - BLMcheat( very unlucky not to get Ht1, maybe the best non ht1 in any kit he goes roughly even with swight, only thing holding him back is a very slight weakness to highms )
> Lt1 - Corzz ( very underrated player, he’s easily the 3rd best in this kit imo, great at stun webs and high ms)
> Lt1 - MikaGoated ( this one I think may be a little controversial but he’s beat coldi, blm and others and I just rarely see him loose to anyone who isn’t swight)
> Lt1 - Coldified ( I was debating not putting him here cause imo he’s a bit overrated in uhc but he still has the best melee and is the best high ms player itw so he just gets this )

HM - yMiau ( this was the hardest one to leave out he’s obviously an insane player but is probably a little washed and I haven’t seen him do anything very impressive as of late)
- Draqounate ( very underrated up and comer he’s probably the best t2 from mcteirs rn and has done very well against players like blm )

SWORD
> Ht1 - Coldified (this one is gonna be hugely controversial but Imo Kylaz suited the old kb better call me crazy but she’s kinda been getting slammed as of recent losing to swight, itz players
who coldi beats comfortably, he is the high ms goat he’s never lost a sword duel in pvpc and while he may have been a boosted t1 back in the day he has definitely earned it now
> Lt1 - Kylaz ( I kinda explained my reasoning in the coldi section but I wouldn’t be mad at all If you had her as your ht1 she’s a goat)
> Lt1 - Try4rd ( I wasn’t gonna include him cause I thought he was washed but then I saw him 10-0 drop key and realise now he’s still got it )
> Lt1 - 6isher ( definitely underrated but imo if mcteirs was still around he’d definitely be t1 he just is a great duels player with he’s fucked kb )
> Lt1 - Vexaay ( he’s definitely washed no doubt but looking at it he’s been playing ranked sword on PvP hq and is doing very well and he’s obviously the potential goat of the kit)

HM - intel ( unlucky to miss out he’s been really on the grind as of late and it’s almost a shock not to see him near the top of any sword lb as of late)
- Prusso ( obviously still a great player but I do just think the others on my list are better, and I just haven’t seen that much out of him recently )
- Gunaim ( he might be t1 but I just ament gonna say anything while he’s cheating allegations are still in the air )
- ImEdgin ( from what I’ve seen could easily be t1 but I just haven’t seen enough)

Modern Diamond SMP

> Ht1 - Coldified ( this is really a coin toss between him and BLM but while I think If blm is playing in normal conditions he is the best I think that throw in high ms and a ratty playstyle he begins
Stumble a little loosing to players he is better then where I think coldi does just beat everyone regardless)
> Lt1 - BLMcheat ( I mean he’s so good at this kit like but as I said above he isn’t unbeatable which is why he’s not ht1 )
> Lt1 - Corzz ( super underrated at this kit once again he might even be better then coldi on high ms in this kit once again)
> Lt1 - DarknightAragon ( Maybe a little surprised to some but imo he’s just different at any smp style kit )
> Lt1 - Swight ( this one is definitely weird cause Un actually he’s not that good at this kit BUT he can and will beat anyone simply by his bs playstyle like as much as I’d like to have say freekee or
Mixed here I just can’t argue with results )

HM - Freekeefang ( I just think he gets found out by some of the top top players like BLM )
- ImMixed ( very weird one cause when you watch him you think like wow this guy is the best player ever in this kit but he just gets dura drained by good players like he lost to mydog simply
Cause of dura drain )

This is the point where I become less knowledgeable so I’m just gonna include the players who I think are locked at this tier

CART

> HT1 - Souless ( he’s fht1 he’s num one on the PvP hq ladder and he makes mixed look slow )

POT

> T1 - Coldified ( I don’t know enough to say where but I’m pretty sure they are still t1 )
> T1 Kylaz ( I don’t know enough to say where but I’m pretty sure they are still t1 )

SMP

> T1 - DarkkinghtAragon
> T1 - FreekeeFang

Spear Mace

> Ht1 - 4lyncs ( he’s a beast t1 one on unofficial tierlist and num 1 on hq ladder )

OG diamond smp

>T1 - freekeeFang

AXE

> T1 - Swight
> T1 - perspective1
> T1 - Corzz

At the end they stopped having reasons cuase it’s kinda hard to explain but I just believe they are t1s but maybe I’m wrong idk if you have anything to add please do

Obviously this Tweet is wrong since It's not Techno.

It's either Danteh or Stimpy. Stimpy because he was the one that made MCPVP popular at the time especially pot, back then everyone wanted to be him.

Danteh actualy had a Jordan-esque career. He used to dominate his era and had achievements that are still good compared to now. He also moved to another game like Jordan did lol (Jordan to Baseball, Danteh to Overwatch). Tho he didn't have the popularity compared to Huahwi and Stimpy.

Discussion Worlds first crystal pvp ai neural network

https://youtu.be/ut_Tehk_DZI?si=Jk71DN_l3lYTo65v

THIS WAS FLAGGED AS AI GENERATED OR AI EDITED, this is NOT AI SLOP MATERIAL, THIS IS NOT IMAGE GENERATED AI, THIS IS NOT ANY FORM OF HUMAN CONTENT GENERATED AI, this model was literally trained on me doing various techniques then learning ON ITS OWN. I FEEL LIKE THE NEED TO DISCERN genuinely cool technology like ai PVP bots from ai generated slop images and text posts is painful, because everyone calling ai bad without noticing this is AN ENTIRELY post-chatgpt type of model. This is an encoder only transformer, its predicting minecraft combat states. CHATGPT for example is a decoder only transformer, it predicts text, it was trained on human text and genuinely stole data from people, I TRAINED IT ON MY OWN DATA, MY OWN STACK, MY OWN THINGS.

i basically made an ai play crystal pvp with a marlow skin on lmao to troll people. Im not justifying or promoting cheating of any sorts, its an ai model playing mcpvp crystal. I just find it interesting, for any people who are nerds like me and interested in how i did it:

i used imitation learning and reinforcement learning to train the model. It took around 3 days of RL, the base model aka imitation model took like 30 mins to train. Overall, i would say its pretty garbage, it doesnt safe anchor, doesnt use pearls much, but i humbly believe its currently the best ai crystal pvp model, simply because barely any other crystal pvp ai models exist except for me and my friends.

If you guys want to use them to practice or learn / farm them because youre god tier crystal pvp players you can check the video description, i also made a mod that has then as practice bots that include sword, mace, crystal, UHC etc etc. I will probably add a shield one soon.
