Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about tiers, tier tests, points and the MCTiers server.
01What is MCTiers?
MCTiers is a Minecraft PvP tier list. It ranks players in eight gamemodes (Vanilla/Crystal PvP, UHC, Pot, NethOP, SMP, Sword, Axe and Mace) from High Tier 1 to Low Tier 5, and combines those tiers into one overall leaderboard.
Learn more02What do HT1, LT1 and the other tiers mean?
Each gamemode has five tiers, and Tier 1 is the best. Every tier is split into High (HT) and Low (LT), so HT1 is the highest rank a player can hold and LT5 the lowest. The full order is HT1, LT1, HT2, LT2 and so on down to LT5.
Learn more03How do I get tier tested?
Join playmctiers.com on Java or Bedrock and type /tiertest. Choose the gamemode you want to be ranked in and your region to join that gamemode's testing queue. When a tester in your region is free, you're moved to a private arena with the official kit, and your tier is added to your MCTiers profile after the test.
Learn more04How is the overall leaderboard calculated?
Every tier is worth points: HT1 60, LT1 45, HT2 30, LT2 20, HT3 10, LT3 6, HT4 4, LT4 3, HT5 2 and LT5 1. A player's points from all gamemodes are added together and the overall leaderboard is sorted by that total. When a player has reached a higher peak tier, the peak is what counts.
Learn more05What are titles like Combat Master?
Titles reflect a player's total points: Rookie below 10 points, Combat Novice from 10, Combat Cadet from 20, Combat Specialist from 50, Combat Ace from 100, Combat Master from 250 and Combat Grandmaster from 400.
