The New Era of PvP | Modern MMC

Summary

This video introduces Modern MMC, a groundbreaking Minecraft server that recreates 1.8 PvP on modern 1.21 builds while fixing many long-standing multiplayer issues. It explains technical tricks—like using the consumable attribute to restore sword blocking, the Animium mod for 1.8 animations, and MMC’s Custom Kit toggles—plus server-side solutions: ClubSync knockback rollback, elimination of offhand block ghosting, corrected attack-cooldown behavior, and latency-agnostic crystal mechanics. The result: 1.8 and 1.20 communities can coexist, matchups feel authentic, and competitive gameplay becomes far more consistent. The video also briefly mentions Lunar Client as the sponsor and notes MMC is currently in beta.

Q & A

What are the main issues with multiplayer Minecraft after the release of version 1.9?

The main issues with multiplayer Minecraft after the release of version 1.9 include inconsistent knockback, blocks not registering properly, and Crystal explosions being affected by latency. Additionally, the divide between players preferring 1.8 and 1.20 combat further complicates the multiplayer experience.

How does Modern MMC aim to address these issues in multiplayer Minecraft?

Modern MMC addresses these issues by recreating 1.8 combat mechanics on Minecraft version 1.21, ensuring that PVP feels identical to the 1.8 experience. It fixes problems like knockback inconsistencies, improves Crystal PVP mechanics, and reduces the impact of latency on gameplay. It also allows both 1.8 and 1.20 players to play together seamlessly.

What changes were made to Minecraft version 1.21 to replicate 1.8 combat in Modern MMC?

In Modern MMC, the consumable attribute was added to items, allowing sword blocking to work like it did in 1.8. The attack cooldown was disabled, and features like knockback, saturation, projectile physics, hit registration, and hitbox sizes were all adjusted to match 1.8 mechanics. The Rod tricking strategy used in 1.8 is also supported.

What is the role of the Animum mod in Modern MMC, and how does it affect gameplay?

The Animum mod is used to restore the 1.8 combat animations in Modern MMC on version 1.21. It doesn't affect gameplay but only changes the visual animations, allowing players to experience the 1.8 feel without modifying the core mechanics.

How does Modern MMC allow players to customize their combat experience between 1.8 and 1.20?

Modern MMC features a Custom Kit editor that allows players to toggle aspects of 1.8 and 1.20 combat. Players can merge elements from both versions, such as using 1.8 rods with 1.20 UHC, or combining different combat mechanics for a tailored experience.

What specific problems in 1.20 combat does Modern MMC address?

Modern MMC addresses several 1.20 combat issues, such as block placements from the offhand disappearing, resetting the attack cooldown after placing blocks, and the inconsistent speed of Crystal explosions due to high latency. These issues have been fixed server-side in Modern MMC.

What issue does block placement from the offhand cause in 1.20, and how does Modern MMC solve it?

In 1.20, blocks placed from the offhand can disappear, especially when drag clicking, which causes problems like falling off the map in game modes like SkyBattle. Modern MMC fixes this by preventing blocks from disappearing, even during fast drag clicks, making block placement more reliable.

How does Modern MMC handle the attack cooldown in 1.20 combat when using the offhand?

In 1.20, placing a block with the offhand resets the attack cooldown, causing issues with Block PvP. Modern MMC fixes this by ensuring the attack cooldown is only reset when a player actually uses their weapon, making block trapping and fast combat more seamless.

Why is Crystal PVP affected by latency, and how does Modern MMC improve this?

In Crystal PVP, latency affects the speed of placing and exploding crystals due to the time it takes for the server to register actions. Modern MMC resolves this by allowing players to Crystal at maximum speed regardless of their latency, providing an equal experience for all players, whether high or low ping.

What is Knockback Sync, and how does it improve PVP on Modern MMC?

Knockback Sync, also known as Club sync in Modern MMC, ensures that players take the same knockback regardless of their ping. This is crucial for competitive PVP because, on vanilla servers, high ping players take less knockback, which can make combos harder to execute. Modern MMC’s implementation allows for consistent knockback across all players, making it easier to hold combos, even against high ping opponents.

What makes Modern MMC's performance and anti-cheat system stand out compared to other 1.20 servers?

Modern MMC is committed to delivering superior performance and anti-cheat capabilities compared to other 1.20 servers. It ensures minimal lag and high-quality server performance while preventing cheating, which is an area that many other 1.20 servers struggle with.

Is Modern MMC still in development, and what should players expect from it in the future?

Modern MMC is currently in beta, and while it is publicly available for anyone to play, players should keep their expectations in check as the server is still being fine-tuned. The development team plans to release additional features in the future, including game modes that allow for both 1.8 and 1.20 combat styles.
