Skyblock PvP Server Guide: Warzone, PvP Teams, Events and Duels (2026)

Short answer: On Complex Skyblock (hub.mc-complex.com), PvP happens in the Warzone at /warp pvp, in the Pharaoh's Tomb, in the Pharaoh's Realm's Pit, in team events and in duels. Form a PvP Team with /pvpteam create <name> to capture outposts and ponds, join the Daily Warzone and climb /pvptop for monthly gift card prizes. Keep inventory is on everywhere on Skyblock, so you don't lose your gear when you die. Islands have PvP off by default.

Where you can PvP on Skyblock​

Type /events to see every Skyblock event and when it runs.

PvP rules​

• Keep inventory: you keep your items and gear when you die on Skyblock. In the Pharaoh's Tomb, contraband like Gold Shards and treasure keys still drops.
• No god mode: in the Warzone, the Tomb and the Pharaoh's Pit, god mode and invisibility turn off, and fireworks, ender pearls and disguises can't be used.
• Combat tag: hitting or getting hit tags you for 30 seconds. While tagged, you can't fly and some commands are blocked.
• Rules: all of our Network Rules apply in PvP areas.

PvP Teams​

PvP Teams are separate from islands. Your island is for building and Island Top, and your PvP Team is for fighting, events and PvP Top. You can be on one PvP Team at a time.

• Create a team: /pvpteam create <name> (names are up to 16 letters and numbers).
• Invite players: /pvpteam invite <player>, and they accept with /pvpteam join <team>.
• Roster: 8 players, with 6 active at a time. Rotate an active player out with /pvpteam rotate <player>.
• Find a team: /lfpvp opens PvP Team recruitment, or visit the Recruitment NPC at spawn.
• Team chat: /pvpteam chat.
• Friendly fire: off by default, so teammates can't hurt each other.

Other names for the command: /pvpt, /team and /teams.

PvP Top and rewards​

/pvptop ranks PvP Teams by points. It has weekly, monthly and all-time boards, and the monthly winners get store gift cards (GC), claimed by the team owner:
How teams earn points:
Kills only count if the player you kill has full netherite armor and a netherite sword or axe, a bow or a crossbow on them. Kills on players with the same IP never count.

Daily Warzone​

The Daily Warzone is a team event that runs every day. Sign-ups open at a random time between 1 PM and 9 PM Eastern, and stay open for 10 minutes. Type /dailywarzone or click the sign up message in chat.

• Who can join: active PvP Team members (one of the team's 6 active players) with at least 6 hours of Skyblock playtime. At least 2 teams have to sign up for it to start.
• Modes: one of Loot Goblins, Flag Holders, Kill the King, Titan Hunt or Meteor Rush, picked at random each day.
• Rules: keep inventory, no durability loss and seasonal items allowed. In most modes, if you die you can come back in after 10 minutes, and you can spectate while you wait.
• Powerups: speed, damage, defence and healing boosts spawn around the arena.

Team rewards by place:
Kill the King only pays the top 6. In Loot Goblins and Meteor Rush, teams get points by place but earn Angelic items differently: every claim has a chance to drop one. Angelic rewards go to the team's reward bank for the owner to claim. No Angelic items are given during the first 14 days of a season. Daily Warzone points don't affect Island Top.

Weekly and hourly PvP events​

Citadel and Conquest allow up to 10 players per PvP Team.

Duels​

Type /duel to challenge another player, or visit the Knight NPC at spawn. Pick a kit (or bring your own gear), a map and rules like golden apples, potions, bows and ender pearls. You can also fight as a party, up to 4v4. You never lose items in a duel.
Every duel has a money wager of at least $10,000 from each side. The winner takes both wagers, minus a 5% tax.

Island PvP​

PvP is off on every island by default. Island admins and the owner can turn it on in /is settings under Gameplay, for example to build a PvP arena for your friends. You can set an island warp with the PvP Arena category so other players can find it in /pwarps.
