Ranked duels
Fight players near your rating. Ranked duels are players only, and your rating goes up when you win and down when you lose.
Ranks run from Bronze to Champion. New players start with placement duels, then the ladder opens up.
A kit, an arena, and one opponent.
KitPvP is our fighting game. A kit is a set of armor, weapons and supplies built for one style of combat. Pick a kit, get its gear, and fight another player in a small arena. Win the fight to take the duel.
You can duel one player, join the free-for-all arena, or practice against a bot. All of it is on the same server, so you can switch between them without adding a new address.
KitPvP is in open beta
The server is open to everyone on Java and Bedrock. It is still a beta, so expect changes and the occasional restart. If something looks wrong, tell us on Discord.
Choose how you want to fight
Every mode uses the same kits and the same server. Pick the one that fits your mood.
Casual duels
A duel with no rating on the line. Casual matches use skill matching, so you are paired with someone close to your level.
It is the best place to try a new kit or warm up before ranked.
Free-for-all
Jump into the FFA arena and fight everyone there. Pick a kit and get straight into the action.
FFA is open to all players, so it is a quick way to play when you do not want to wait for a duel.
Practice vs bots
Duel a practice bot when nobody else is online, or when you want to learn a kit. Bots fight back, so you can test your timing and reach.
Bot fights are for practice. They are not ranked.
1.8 or modern combat?
Minecraft's combat has changed over the years, and KitPvP lets you choose the feel you like best. Your choice is called your combat style.
1.8 combat
Also called classic combat. Attacks have no cooldown, so fast clicking and quick combos matter.
Many long-time PvP players learned on this style. Each kit still has its own rules.
Modern combat
The newer combat system. Attacks have a cooldown, so timing each hit matters more than clicking as fast as you can.
Modern kits are built around that rhythm.
Change it anytime
In the lobby, right-click the combat clock in your hotbar or type /combat to switch styles. Your choice stays with you when you join a queue. Elytra duels use their own combat rules.
A kit for every style
Both players get the same kit in a duel, so the fight is decided by how you use it. The kits are split by combat style.
1.8 kits
Classic, NoDebuff, BuildUHC, Bow, Combo, OP, Boxing and Sumo. These are built for classic combat, from all-round fights to potions, building, boxing and ring-outs.
Modern kits
Sword, Axe, Mace, Spear, NethPot, SMP and Diamond SMP. These use the modern combat rhythm, with weapons and gear from the newer game.
Elytra Spear
A spear and an elytra. Fly, close the distance and pick your moment to strike. It plays differently from a ground duel, so give yourself a few rounds to learn the movement.
Free-for-all kits
FFA has its own kits: Knight, Archer, Brute, Windrunner and Warhammer, each in a classic and a modern version. Pick one with /kit when you join the arena.
The kit menu shows every duel kit, so you can try a new one whenever you like. Open the menu in the lobby or type /kit.

Climb the ladder
Every ranked duel changes your rating, and the KitPvP leaderboard tracks the players at the top. Filter it by ranked or casual, by combat style and by kit to see where you stand.

KitPvP questions
Do I need a mod?
No. KitPvP works with normal Minecraft Java or Bedrock. You do not need a client mod to join or fight.
Do I need the resource pack?
No. A menu pack is offered to newer Java clients, and you can decline it and still play. Older Java clients and Bedrock players use chest menus and forms instead.
Can I play alone?
Yes. Practice bots are there when nobody else is online. You can also join the FFA arena and fight whoever is there.
Is KitPvP only for ranked players?
No. Ranked duels are one option. Casual duels, FFA and bot practice are open to everyone.
Can Bedrock players join?
Yes. Use kit.justpvp.me with port 19133. Bedrock players do not need a Java account.
Which combat style should I pick?
Try both. Pick 1.8 combat if you like fast clicking, or modern combat if you like timing your hits. You can change it in the lobby at any time.
Do I keep my gear between fights?
No. KitPvP is not a survival server. Each duel or FFA visit starts from a kit, so you do not need to bring your own gear.
How do I leave a fight?
Type /leave to leave a duel, a queue or the FFA arena and return to the lobby. /lobby also takes you back to the lobby.
Ready to pick a kit?
Add kit.justpvp.me in Minecraft and jump into your first duel. On Bedrock, use port 19133.
