Wiki: PvP

A step-by-step guide: how to play, how to win battles and what waits for you in every age.

PvP

Minestones has two kinds of PvP. /pvp opens both (in your battle arena, /spawn first).

Classic PvP Arena PvP
What do you fight with? The real items you carry Your arena character's items
When you die / lose Your items drop You lose nothing
How to enter /arena or /warp arena /pvp → Arena PvP
Reward The items you pick up ⭐ Arena Stars, league rewards

The PvP choice screen /pvp: Classic PvP on the left, Arena PvP on the right.

The arena character (/pvp character)

The character screen has your body on the left (9 slots) and information and buttons on the right.

  • Slots: Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots and Weapon are open from the start; Shield, Talisman, Ring and Ring II open with your rank. A locked slot shows as a barrier and says at which rank it opens.
  • Left-click a filled slot: upgrade, enchant, reforge. Right click: take it off.
  • Bottom row: XP Forge, Star Shop, FIGHT in the middle, your rank limits, back.
  • Arena items sit in your own inventory. With the character screen open, left-click an item there to equip it, right-click for its details.

The XP Forge (/pvp forge)

Arena items are drawn with your Minecraft XP levels.

  1. /pvp forge, or the blast furnace at the bottom left of the character screen.
  2. Draw: the cost comes off your XP levels. The first draw is free.
  3. Draw with a Forge Ticket: spends no XP; every win in battle mode gives one ticket.
  4. You need one free inventory slot. As the forge levels up, the cost and the chance of rare items both rise.

Pick an opponent and fight (/pvp fight)

  1. FIGHT on the character screen, or /pvp fight.
  2. Up to 5 opponents, weakest on the left to strongest on the right; stronger opponents give more ⭐.
  3. Click an opponent: you fight their ghost with real Minecraft controls (90 seconds at most).
  4. Losing costs nothing. When your daily league tries run out, fights become practice.

The league and the Star Shop

  • Bracket league (/pvp league): a 15-player daily league in your Power band and a weekly star ranking; the top places get Seals and XP.
  • Star Shop (/pvp shop): Arena Stars buy cosmetics and titles; they give no power.

The daily league The daily league.

The Star Shop The Star Shop: cosmetics and titles.

Classic PvP and duels

  • /arena takes you to Classic PvP's safe waiting area. Past the gate PvP starts and you drop your items when you die. Once hit you are in combat for 15 seconds: you cannot escape, and logging out kills you. Leave with /arena leave.
  • Friendly duel (/pvp challenge <player>): with arena items, no reward and no loss.
  • Item duel (/arena duel <player>): with real items; the loser loses everything they carry. It asks for confirmation twice.
  • /arena stats [player]: Classic PvP statistics.
