Can i use r as my sprint key

So i play sword and i usually play with r as my sprint key but have noticed some issues
however, using ctrl is a big pain in my pinky and is incredibly uncomfortable in general
based on your experience, what would you say would be a better sprint key

I suck at pvp

I'm gonna be honest, I'm awful at pvp. I've been training for a few weeks and haven't seen any improvement. I understand this stuff takes time but I though I would have seen at least a little improvement by now but I haven't. Its very discouraging. I want to get into pvp really badly but I can seem to get good. I understand everyone has a form of pvp where they shine, but I can't seem to find mine. Is there any chance that anyone would be willing to train me and help me get good?

Why shouldn't you offhand shield if you have no totems in crystal pvp?

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

I want to "revamp" my hotkeys just because the feel kinda clunky when it should be fluid, any suggestions?

Also the reason slot 8 is delete is because I use the windows instead of control but I don't want to be opening the start menu so I got a program to rebind it

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

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

What tier am I in cpvp?

Sry for the bad footage, my pc is very bad. I also had to cut the match between them bc the opponent was being a runner. and would have added 10 extra minutes to the footage.

Who’s Lurrn/Lurnn exactly?

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.

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

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!

DPI: 800
MC Sens: 60%
FOV: 75
Mouse: model o-
Clicking: normal clicking (I try butterfly clicking, but my double clicks almost never register because of my form and I can’t aim when butterfly clicking)

I want to improve at 1.8.9 pvp as i’ve been playing bedwars on hypixel since 2020, I’m 600 stars and my pvp is just plain embarrassing for how long i’ve been playing. I don’t know where I’m going wrong or how to even improve, I keep hit trading and when I combo someone I can’t hold it. I e watched countless pvp tips videos but I still suck. Help and tips are greatly appreciated 🥹

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

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.

United Factions [PVP] {1.16.4} {Factions} {Economy} {McMMO} {Discord} {14+} {Community Events & Projects}

United Factions - Back from Gone!

Server IP: play.unitedfactions.net

Dear Minecraft community, Player, NPC, entity, Factions player, Java or Bedrock player!

Website: www.unitedfactions.net
United Factions Trailer: https://youtu.be/Ra5dmflDi8c

It would be very unlikely that we have met before, or that you know who we are. However, our Minecraft Factions server goes all the way back to 2011. You can still check the original Planet Minecraft listing date as proof.

Back in 2011 we started a Minecraft server, a Minecraft Factions server, meant to be a place for experienced players, new players, raiders, builders, faction leaders and friends who just wanted a proper community to play in.

We had a great community. If you want to see some of the old history, search YouTube for "United Factions server". The server eventually went offline a few years later due to personal circumstances of the admins.

But now we are back online.

Introduction | Our Staff & Team

Let us introduce ourselves. We are SupaYoshi and SirMario1.

We are Minecraft players from the first hour and early Minecraft server adopters. SupaYoshi is a system administrator and Linux engineer, and SirMario1 is an experienced Minecraft server admin.

We have also had great help from experienced Minecraft builders designing our spawn, buildings and server areas. A lot of time has gone into rebuilding United Factions into something that feels familiar, but ready for a new generation of players.

You can find more about our team on the website: https://www.unitedfactions.net/staff/

Why you should at least check our server out

Ever since starting United Factions in 2011, one of the best parts has always been seeing people enjoy the community, form factions, make allies, start rivalries, build bases, defend their land and create stories together.

A lot of servers nowadays lean too hard into pay-to-win systems, protected bases, unfair paid perks or gameplay that removes the risk from factions. For us, factions should still be about defending, raiding, strategy, diplomacy and player skill.

That is what we want United Factions to offer again.

  • A Minecraft Factions server with roots going back to 2011.
  • Java and Bedrock support, so friends on different platforms can play together.
  • Land claims, faction progression, PvP, raiding, defence and diplomacy.
  • A public faction system where your faction can grow from a small camp into something much bigger.
  • Custom spawn and server builds made by our team.
  • A community Discord for recruitment, announcements and launch updates.
  • No paid unraidable bases, no unfair combat perks and no pay-to-win ranks.
  • A server focused on community, competition and the stories players create.

We are also looking for players who want to help shape the community. Whether you are a faction leader, builder, raider, trader, grinder, diplomat or just someone who misses old-school factions, you are welcome to check it out.

Rules

The server rules can be found here: https://www.unitedfactions.net/rules

How can I stun slam fast?

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.

your opinion about the glorios mouse model i 2

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€).
