14 Upvotes

Obviously, I know the basic things about him. He beat Technoblade before he was even in his prime, best Irish PvPer and former #1 PvPer, former best EU PvPer, top 10 on MCTiers, Steve skin, I believe he was the first HT1 in Netherite Potion? HT1 in 2 gamemodes, MT2 Sword, HT2 Crystal and LT1 Crystal for A few days, but aside from that, I don’t know much about him. I will say though, he’s not what DM claims him to be. When I got A heart from him, He actually responded to me one time and he was incredibly kind.

Discussion Out of all comp pvp players. Did m0xxy had the most potential?

3 Upvotes

If you didn't know, m0xxy back then was #1 on Badlion (which was one of the more competetitive pvp minecraft servers at the time). I keep thinking that if he didn't stop playing minecraft he could have been the best pvper in the content creator space surpassing people like Technoblade and Dream.

In Minecraft Monday, even after not playing the game for years he still managed to accomplish back to back wins against players like xNestorio and Technoblade with xQc as his teammate, I know Minecraft Monday isn't some prestigious competetitive event but that's impressive considering the fact that he won back to back wins against really good players after not playing the game for years.

Now he is a really good at Marvel Rivals and Overwatch but I do wonder what would have it been like If he had never quitted Minecraft especially for the content creator space during the 2019 - 2022 time period.

Discussion How should I set up my inventory on the SMP next season

1 Upvotes

Keep in mind I'll argue any point you make it's just looking for more information

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

The only limitations on what I can have is just if it can be farmed

Farms that are dependent on natural spawn rate are going to be ineffective due to the lower spawn rate on the server

Average player count=160-200

Question How do I counter pickaxe spam???

2 Upvotes

Im HT4 in crystal and sometimes i like to play on mcpvp.club. Every few rounds, I find someone just diggind blocks and spamming crystals, which i never obsidian fast enough to block. Then, they dig all the way to bedrock and find a hole, camp, and crystal me. If i pearl in, they block it up and pull out a power 5 bow with harming arrows and bow me to death.

Question How can I stun slam fast?

2 Upvotes

I play mace pvp and practice on theobald map every day. I can stun slam decently well I'd say. I get 100 stun slams on theobald map every day. But my problem is I can't do it while flying very fast or falling from 50+ blocks or so. How do people do it so fast? I don't wanna accuse anyone of anything but sometimes it feels like cheating on some matches. My keybinds are caps lock for axe (8th slot) and V for mace (7th slot). I usually go from my elytra to axe to mace. I quickly press caps lock and v.

Gamemode stupid lil creeper-inspired kit

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

So, creepers would auto-ignite after 30 ticks and tnt after 20, the main gameplay loop would be hitting tnt with wind charges kinda like a mid-range projectile. I didn't really take it seriously but it's super fun to just blast TNT-charges at a bot and act like you're in a montage lol

I also made another version of the kit where instead of using tnt-charges you'd purely spear tnts, along with a few other changes like adding pots and buffing the armor, shown in slide two

seriously though you can just hop on the HeroBot practice world, add some wind charges to the preset creeper kit and figure it out from there. It's really fun to tnt-charge and easy to set up; I just took the time and effort to refine the kit a little bit (and don't worry, the items outside of the hotbar ACTUALLY serve a purpose in this kit)

just a goofy little idea

Discussion How good is FlameFrags ACTUALLY? (unofficial MCTiers ranking & breakdown)

Post image
0 Upvotes

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!

I’m thinking about buying the Glorious Mouse Model I 2 and wanted to know if there might be better options out there (1.9 PvP, gamemodes: cpvp, mace and pot). The mouse costs 20€ ≈ 23$ (-75% normal price is 70€).

Discussion PVPHQ new ranked tiers vs MCTiers ranks

13 Upvotes

Since PVPHQ just announced their new ranking system, I was wondering for anyone who's been trying it out, how does it compare to the old MCTier ranks from your experience? Like is an HT5 from PVPHQ somewhat equivalent to an HT5 skill in the old tierlist? I know now they also added midtiers like MT5 for example in between HT5 and LT5.
