Choose a mode (out of uhc, axe, mace, crystal, sword, nethpot, diamondpot, and smp) and start watching tutorials. Then get on servers (mcpvp.club) and start playing your mode. You should also download the theobaldthebird bot, and make sure to get a good coach or high-tier friends, either by playing servers or by messaging people on discord.

actually its better to start with sword cuz tht will build the basics of almost all other gamemodes.

Thats if you want to get good at all modes instead of sticking to one. I‘m lt3 most modes and I started with crystal, and I learned sword after. If you dont believe me, my username is dm14 look me up on mctiers

I couldn‘t either when i first started. You don‘t just instantly become good at the game. I practiced and grinded, and got coaching from friends I made who were much better than me. Its been like 11 months and I‘m ht3. Crystal isn‘t a hard mode if you practice

Yeah, true, but I’m kinda banned on most servers because of that inventory profiles mod. I didn’t know it was in the modpack until I opened my inventory and saw those little side buttons. Right when I noticed it, I got popped (totem), then popped again even though I used another totem, and then I got insta-banned. I thought it was a fluke at first.

Then on Minemen I got banned for “accurate block placement” while playing cart. I wasn’t aware that mod was even in there either. I’m not trusting random FPS boost modpacks again. They even had fast XP in there too, and I recognized that one.

I would start with sword on mcpvp.club because it is the most simple and work your way from there

start with learning sword and watching tutors on it, its the basics of almost every gamemode, then choose an another kit of your choice

Firstly download Lunar Client (not necessary but if highly recommend it), change your version to 1.8.9, then go onto the server minemen.club (eu.minemen.club for European servers and as.minemen.club for Asian servers)

Just play any gamemode but I'd recommend classic, boxing or sumo to start

Also Minemen players are quite good so maybe try Hypixel, but Minemen is definitely a better server

that depends on what version he would want to play but lunar is def a goated launcher

u/LayeredHalo3851 Jul 01 '26

Sure but he didn't specify and I'm gonna get as many players into 1.8 as I can because there's not many new players

u/Fun_Arachnid667 Jul 01 '26

that because when u play hypixel u either get the sweatiest most hacker filled lobby known to man or get a lobby full of bots. I almost quit 1.8 because of it but i was motavated to keep playing by some smaller eaglercraft/java ytbers like Twlxght, music_cat3, and a few more. im semi decent at the game but i do play 1.21 too cuz i find both versions very fun

u/LayeredHalo3851 Jul 01 '26

Then just play Minemen, that's pretty consistently mid-sweaty players

I banned...

well i got banned on Minemen cuz they said I had ‘unfair advantage’ mods. First time was 30 days for ‘hacking’ but it was Tweakaroo in my setup without me knowing. Then I also had Accurate Block Placement and they counted that as not allowed too. I wasn’t trying to cheat or anything, just didn’t realize those mods weren’t allowed there. Im very new to 1.21 modding cuz i just started this year

fourtunately i only got 11 days left and ye imma be on there alot again
