Every ranked match updates a hidden ELO (MMR) for matchmaking and a visible SP score scaled by performance, opponent strength, and placement bonuses.
Overall rank
Current tier per gamemode adds up to an Overall Rank - Netherite (200+), Diamond, Gold, Iron, Stone, or Wood - on the global leaderboard.
Tournaments & seasons
Single-elim, double-elim, and round-robin brackets. Ranked or casual, with Blades prize pools. Seasons cycle on a schedule with soft-resets and rewards.
Clans & economy

FAQ
What is BladeTiers?
BladeTiers is a competitive Minecraft PvP server. Every ranked match earns or costs Shard Points (SP), and your SP places you into a tier in each of nine gamemodes.
How do tiers and SP work?
Each gamemode has a ladder from LT5 up to T1. You gain SP by winning ranked matches and lose SP when you lose; beating stronger opponents is worth more. Your first 10 matches in a gamemode are placement matches that move you faster towards your real tier. The full tier table is on the ranking info page.
What is the Overall Rank?
Your Overall Rank adds up your tiers across all nine gamemodes. Higher tiers in more modes climb you from Wood through Stone, Iron, Gold and Diamond up to Netherite.
What gamemodes are available?
Nine gamemodes, each with its own tier ladder: Vanilla, Crystal, Pot, UHC, Sword, Axe, Mace, SMP, and Nethop.
How do seasons work?
Seasons run for a fixed time. When one ends, your tiers are saved to your season history, you receive Blades based on the peak tier you reached, and SP is reset so everyone climbs again.
What are Blades?
Blades are the in-game currency. Earn them by playing ranked matches, climbing tiers, keeping winstreaks and finishing seasons. Spend them on cosmetics (kill effects, trails, titles, auras, orbital effects), tournament entry fees, and bounties placed on other players.
Are there premium perks?
Two optional subscription tiers - Smite and Sharpness - add quality-of-life perks: more Blades, extra kit slots, more active bounties, daily missions, armor trim and shield pattern customizers, custom item names, lobby elytra, and (Sharpness only) queue priority. Ranked play and tier placement are unchanged.
How do I join?
Connect to play.bladetiers.net from Minecraft: Java Edition. Matches, tier changes, and stats sync automatically - visit bladetiers.net to view your profile, rankings, clan standings, and match history.
What is the Hall of Fame?
The Hall of Fame honors players for various achievements. The first category is Pioneers - players who completed at least 10 ranked matches across any gamemode before the program closes. The Pioneer badge is permanent and shows on your profile. More categories (season champions, milestone records, and more) will be added over time.
