Minecraft 1.8.9 with Lunar Client only: other clients are refused when you join (why Lunar?). Its visual mods (keystrokes, CPS display...) are fine. Anything that gives an advantage is cheating: see the rules.

NoDebuff and Build UHC only, in ranked (1v1 and 2v2), unranked, duels and parties.

Each mode has its own rank: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond, each from 5 (low) to 1 (high). You stay Unranked until your first ranked match. The top 10 Diamond players of the season (with 20 ranked matches) are Champions. See the rankings.

A season lasts 2 to 3 months and ends with the grand tournament. Then every ELO moves halfway back to 1000 and a new season starts.

That is a dodge. The 1st time in a day you can't queue ranked for 2 minutes, the 2nd time for 10 minutes. From the 3rd time it counts as a ranked loss with the normal ELO loss for you, while the match is simply cancelled for your opponent. Boosting is also monitored: a player who wins 80% or more of at least 5 ranked against the same opponent within 30 days is reviewed by the staff (never sanctioned automatically).

After 4 minutes of a round in NoDebuff (6 minutes in Build UHC), a red border appears at the arena walls and slowly closes in to a 9×9 area in the center. Outside it you take heavy damage (about 2 hearts per second), so the round always ends. In Build UHC you can't build higher than 8 blocks above the arena floor. As a safety net, a match that reaches 20 minutes in total is stopped: a draw with no ELO change in ranked, replayed in a tournament.

Ranked 1v1 and ranked 2v2: best of 3 (first to 2 rounds). Unranked matches and duels: a single round. Tournaments: best of 3, and the final in best of 5.

It is an immediate loss, in every match type including tournaments: your opponent wins straight away and there is no time to come back, even after a game crash or an internet cut. In ranked, the normal ELO loss applies.

No: VPNs and proxies are blocked when you join. If you have a real reason to use one, ask the staff for an exception with a support ticket.

Cosmetics only: dances, match entrances and kill effects. You earn tokens by playing (not while AFK) and by ranking up. They can't be bought: shop purchases are paid in real money and never give tokens. They never give an advantage.

The Donator rank is for life: it is never removed at the end of a season. It unlocks every cosmetic (match entrances, dances, kill effects), the clip of your best play as your profile background and every profile music track, with nothing more to pay. Like everything else in the shop, it gives no advantage in game. Staff members (owners, admins, moderators) get the same unlocks, but no tokens. YouTubers and Streamers buy profile music tracks like everyone else (2.49 € or 100 tokens each).

Every weekend there are 4 free cups (Paris time): Saturday 21:00 and 22:30 in 1v1, Sunday 21:00 and 22:30 in 2v2, NoDebuff and Build UHC in turn. Each cup pays 20 € to the 1st and 10 € to the 2nd (in 2v2 shared by the team: 10 € and 5 € each), and the 3rd picks a shop cosmetic (each player in 2v2). Exception: the cups of 9-10 January are the qualifiers: no prizes, they give places in the grand tournament. The season ends with the grand tournament (16-17 January 2027): 4 brackets, top 16 ELO + 16 qualifier places in each, 100 € / 50 € / 500 tokens per bracket. Cash prizes are paid by PayPal, only to players aged 18 or over. Only verified members can play.

After your whitelist is accepted, you are in trial for 7 days. Then you become a verified member automatically, unless the staff needs more time.

Every player has 0/3. The staff gives 1 to 3 strikes depending on the reason (insults 1, discrimination or harassment 2...), doubled for a repeat within 30 days. Cheating and threats are 3 strikes at once. At 3/3 you are banned for life, IP included. Details on the rules page.

Ranked matches are filmed with commentary and stats. Members watch them in Replays (a free account is enough, no whitelist needed), with English, French or Spanish commentary. Each player has at least one replay rendered every 12 hours.

Yes: English, French and Spanish. Choose your language with the flags of the site or of the PCPN menu in game: the site and the game follow the same choice when you are signed in.

Yes: for 24 hours after the opening (14 November 2026 at 20:00, Paris time), the whole shop is -20%. The shop only sells cosmetics: they never give an advantage.
