Rules LJKITS

Win 5 matches in the unranked queue and the ranked queues open. /duel matches and wins by opponent forfeit don't count.

The first time you enter ranked each season, you must accept the rules in the menu that opens. By accepting, you confirm you have read this page.

Ranked can only be played from a fixed home connection (box, fibre, DSL).

Refused in ranked: 4G / 5G, hotspot / tethering from a phone, VPNs, proxies and hosting connections. Your connection is checked every time you join a queue: if you switch to 4G during the evening, the ranked queue closes for you.

Unranked, FFA, duels and the rest of the server stay open whatever your connection. If your only home connection is a 4G box, open a ticket on Discord.

One person plays a ranked season on a single account. On a given connection, the first account to accept the rules keeps the spot: the other accounts on that connection are refused in ranked for the whole season.

Several different players in the same household? Open a ticket on Discord: staff can allow the second account.

Everyone starts at 1000 in each ranked mode. A match wins or loses 30 points at most. You never drop below 800, and below 1000 losses are halved.

Your global Elo is the average of your 8 ranked modes; a mode never played counts as 1000. It decides the cashprize leaderboard: to be at the top, you have to play everywhere.

No purchase (ranks, coins) gives any advantage in ranked: both players receive exactly the same kit.

The queue first looks for an opponent within ±100 Elo, then widens with waiting time until anyone is accepted. You don't face your last opponent again right away, unless you are almost alone in the queue.

You can't play more than 5 ranked matches per hour against the same opponent in the same mode.

The first one to fall loses. After 10 minutes, the player with the most health wins; on a perfect tie, the match is a draw and nobody wins or loses Elo.

A server crash is never held against you: the match is declared a draw.

Disconnecting mid-match: you get a short window to come back and resume where you were (once per match). After that window, it's a loss, Elo included.

Kicked by the anticheat or by staff: immediate loss, no window.

Forfeit: /leave, /spawn, /hub, /lobby or any teleport out of the arena during a ranked match = loss.

Forfeiting at the start (disconnecting or using a command during the countdown or in the first 30 seconds): on the 2nd time within 12 hours, the match is voided; on the 3rd, ranked is closed to you for 2 hours.

Unranked, /duel, parties with friends, bots, HG Run, tournaments and the unranked modes (Boxing, Iron Soup, BedFight, Classic) never touch your Elo or the cashprize.

Your unranked stats are recorded and have their own rules (see Integrity).

Both players receive exactly the same kit, removed at the end of the match.

The arena is indestructible: where building is allowed, you can only break blocks placed during the match, and a maximum build height applies (your action bar warns you).

Ender pearls and bows only work after the countdown.

Diamond sword, iron armour, soups, buckets and blocks. No natural regeneration and no hunger: health only comes back with soup. Walls, towers and lava traps are allowed with your blocks.

The HG kit with iron tools, in a vertical fight: you build, you dig, and the arena resets every 90 seconds mid-duel. Leaving the arena over the top = immediate loss.

A UHC duel in a cave: diamond gear, golden apples, fishing rod, buckets, flint and steel and tools. No natural regeneration: health comes back with golden apples.

Diamond and iron gear, bow, golden apples, buckets and blocks. Hunger is on and there is no natural regeneration.

Diamond gear, bow, fishing rod, golden apples, blocks and buckets: you build to get the upper hand. Hunger is on and there is no natural regeneration.

Diamond gear, healing potions and an ender pearl (15-second cooldown). No blocks. Natural regeneration is on, with fire resistance.

Bow and arrows, leather armour. No blocks: it's all about accuracy.

Each player on an island above the void, with gear, blocks, an ender pearl, cobweb and buckets. Falling into the void = death. Hunger and natural regeneration are on.

Every season, €100 is shared between the top 3 of the global Elo: 1st €50 · 2nd €30 · 3rd €20.

Season 2 runs from Saturday 17 October 2026 at 2:30 PM to Sunday 15 November 2026 at 11:00 PM (Paris time). The leaderboard is frozen at the exact second of closing, then Elo goes back to 1000. Coins, ranks and cosmetics are never reset.

To receive a prize, at closing you must: have no active sanction, not be excluded from the leaderboard, and have linked your Discord account (/discord in game) — that's how winners are contacted.

On a perfect tie, the player with the most ranked matches goes first.

After closing, staff reviews the top 3 for 3 days (match replays, accounts, connections) before confirming the winners.

Confirmed winners are contacted on Discord and have 30 days to claim their prize. After that, it is lost. The payment method is agreed with the winner; for a minor, a legal guardian's consent is required. The prize is personal: it can't be paid to someone else.

Cheating, Elo boosting, fixed matches, multi-accounting, account sharing, bypassing the connection check, abusing a bug, an active sanction at closing, an unlinked Discord account, or a claim made more than 30 days after confirmation.

If a top-3 player is disqualified, their prize goes to the next player on the leaderboard.

Artificially inflating an Elo, yours or someone else's: an accomplice opponent, a favour or a paid service, accounts passing wins to each other, deliberate forfeits.

Sanction: matches voided, removal from the leaderboard and loss of the cashprize.

Losing on purpose to drop down, either to face weaker opponents later or to push someone else up.

Sanction: removal from the leaderboard.

Agreeing on the outcome of a ranked match or how to play it, or queueing at the same time as a friend to land on each other and pick the winner.

Sanction: removal from the leaderboard for both players.

Playing ranked on several accounts, letting someone else play on your account (for free or for money), or playing on someone else's account.

Sanction: removal from the leaderboard for every account involved, ban on repeat. An account is responsible for whatever is done with it.

Using a VPN, a proxy or someone else's connection to get past the connection check or the one-account-per-connection rule.

Sanction: removal from the leaderboard.

Running without looking for the fight, or hiding in a hard-to-reach spot, only to drag the match out and win on time.

Sanction: match voided, then removal from the leaderboard on repeat.

Watching an opponent's live stream during a match to know their position, gear or health.

Sanction: removal from the leaderboard.

Chaining fixed unranked matches to inflate wins, levels or ranked qualification.

Sanction: reset of the stats involved.

In multiplayer modes (party, 2v2, tournaments, events, HG): teaming beyond the allowed team size, or sabotaging your own team.

Sanction: disqualification from the event, removal on repeat.

Any client, module, macro or hardware giving a combat advantage is forbidden: killaura, reach, autoclicker, autosoup, fly, speed, anti-knockback, x-ray and the like.

Sanction: permanent ban, Elo voided and cashprize lost — including if the cheating is found after the season ends.

The server's anticheat punishes its most reliable detections on its own with a temporary ban, longer on each repeat (from 1 day to 30 days). Staff can then turn it into a permanent ban if the cheating is confirmed.

Optifine, PvP clients (Lunar, Badlion…) without forbidden modules, and texture packs.

Unsure about a mod? Ask before on Discord: a staff answer is binding.

Deliberately faking your latency — lag switch, throttling — to disrupt hits taken or given.

Sanction: ban, same as cheating.

Using a server or client bug to win, climb, or disrupt a match — however small. Reporting a bug costs nothing; abusing it costs your ranking.

Sanction: gains voided, removal from the leaderboard, ban on repeat.

Every match is recorded and can be reviewed by staff to check a detection, a report or the top 3 at the end of the season. These recordings are authoritative.

You can watch yours in game with /matchs.

A staff member can ask for a screen check (screenshare) at any time. The tool is public and explained on the Screenshare page.

Refusing, disconnecting, rebooting or deleting files during the check counts as an admission.

Sanction: ban for refusing the check.

Coming back to the server with another account, another address or a VPN while sanctioned.

Sanction: the original sanction restarts from zero and becomes permanent on repeat.

Removal takes a player out of the competition without taking them off the server: they keep playing, but no longer appear on the leaderboard, in game or on this site, and no longer compete for the cashprize. Depending on severity, it is temporary (a few hours or days) or for the whole season.

When a cheater is banned, the Elo you lost against them can be given back: ask for it in a ticket on Discord.

A set of serious, consistent clues (replays, connections, accounts) is enough to remove a player from the competition, even without formal proof. Being very good, playing a lot or using an allowed PvP client is never a reason on its own.

You are entitled to the reason for the sanction and to a staff answer on Discord.

A sanction is appealed on Discord, through a ticket, with your username and the date. Decisions are not discussed in game or in a private message to a moderator.

Insults, harassment and targeting a player have no place here, in game or on Discord. Losing a match excuses nothing.

Sanction: mute, then temporary ban.

Targeting a player for their origin, skin colour, religion, gender or orientation.

Sanction: ban, without warning.

Wishing harm on someone, threatening them or their connection (DDoS), or sharing their identity, address, photos or any private information without consent.

Sanction: permanent ban.

Flooding the chat with repeated messages, or promoting another Minecraft server, directly or not.

Sanction: mute, then ban.

An offensive or explicit username or skin, or one impersonating a staff member, is refused.

Sanction: forced change, then ban until changed.

Report a cheater with /report rather than in public chat: a public accusation achieves nothing. False or repeated reports meant to harm are sanctioned.

The rules may change between seasons; every change is announced on Discord.

The rules that apply to a season are the ones published at its opening: a change during a season never applies retroactively to the current leaderboard.
