Duels 3.0.0 — Public Beta ⚔️

Ranked Minecraft PvP, on your terms. Duels turns 1.21 into a full competitive PvP experience — kits, ranks, cosmetics, and real matchmaking — without ever needing to join a server. Formerly MCPvP Ranked, now its own thing.

🌐 Peer-to-peer matches — no server required

An all-new P2P match system runs every fight directly between players. Queue up, get matched, and drop straight into a private arena — with host migration so matches survive connection hiccups.

🏆 Ranked ladder & smart placements

Climb from Coal → Netherite, with exclusive Wither / Dragon / Warden ranks for the top 3 on the leaderboard. Your first 10 placement matches now scale the difficulty as you win, so you land at your true rank fast instead of grinding up from the bottom. Seasons pay out rewards to the top of the ladder.

👥 Team fights — 2v2 & 3v3

Party up and queue team modes, each with their own separate ranks.

🎯 Face Off

A multi-round ban/pick showdown with its own rank: both players secretly ban and pick kits from a shared pool, then battle it out across rounds.

🎨 Cosmetics & a rotating shop

Earn coins every match and spend them on weapon skins (sword, axe, mace, spear — diamond & netherite) and armor trims. The shop rotates a fresh set every 12 hours, and everything you unlock is yours forever — equip it in the Customize menu.

🗺️ New arenas

Fresh, purpose-built arenas for clean, fair fights.

🖥️ All-new menus & UI

A completely redesigned interface — custom title screen, PvP menu, Nexus hub, leaderboards, player profiles, stats, and a tabbed How It Works guide.

🧰 Kits & custom layouts

11 kits — Sword, Axe, Mace, Pot, UHC, Crystal, SMP, Diamond SMP, Netherite OP, Cart, and Spear. Arrange your loadout in the Kit Editor, or save your current in-match layout with a single button.

🔒 Fair play

Server-side anti-cheat, Mojang-authenticated accounts, and mod verification keep every match legit.

✨ And more

• Match replays
• Social — friends, parties, and notifications
• HUD widgets — FPS counter + an armor-durability display
• Handy keybinds — zoom, hitbox toggle, HD panorama
• Per-kit stats & leaderboards

New name: MCPvP Ranked is now Duels. It isn't a competitor or a server — it's its own thing: a way to enjoy Minecraft PvP in your own kits, anywhere.
