Two ways to fight

A front to capture. A duel to win.

Warfront rewards coordinated pushes and changing loadouts. Duels removes the economy and gives both players the same kit.

Warfront

Opens September 20

Red and Blue fight over A, B, and C while every captured objective drains the enemy's tickets. Earn persistent Warfront Cash, buy and upgrade your kit at the team HQ, breach brick cover with rockets, and deploy with friends in 5v5 Skirmish or 10v10 Battle.

1VS1

Duels

Opens September 20

One opponent, one fixed kit, first to three rounds. Competitive matchmaking finds close opponents and moves you through a permanent Minecraft-material tier ladder. Friendly direct challenges count toward wins and losses without changing either player's tier.

Made for MCWars

See the custom systems in motion.

Weapons, battlefield tools, cosmetics, pets, effects, and Hub activities are built into the network—not pulled from a generic server template.

Custom combat tools change how squads breach, defend, and recover during Warfront.

Competitive Duels

Stone 5 to Bedrock. No reset.

The ladder has 26 steps: divisions 5 through 1 for Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Netherite, followed by Bedrock.

Bedrock

Everyone starts at Stone 5. Beat stronger opponents to make more progress; losing to a stronger opponent costs less. The matchmaking number stays private, so other players see your material tier instead.

No placementsNo seasonsNo resetsCompetitive matches change tierFriendly challenges do not

Fair progression

Progress without buying power.

Warfront ranks grow from kills and wins. A separate private Duel cosmetic rank grows from total wins, while your public material tier measures competitive skill.

Combat stays equal

Store ranks unlock lobby and appearance perks. They do not increase damage, health, armor, objective speed, fixed-kit strength, or tier progress.

No extra damage or healthNo stronger Duel kitNo faster objectivesNo purchased tier progress

Make the Hub yours

Choose appearance and lobby perks without changing a fight. Your shared network identity follows you while each mode keeps its own progression.

War Records

Two modes. Separate records.

One mode never inflates the other. Search the same player across both records without mixing their results.

Know what counts

Warfront records kills, deaths, assists, wins, matches, cash earned, clans, and fishing. Duels records lifetime wins and losses, competitive results, current tier, peak tier, and progress toward the next tier.

Can I play before release?

No. MCWars runs through an ordinary Minecraft client with no required resource pack.

Is it Java-only?

No. Java and Bedrock players share the same network. Bedrock uses port 19132.
