Pvp

PvP or Player versus Player is a form of combat between users in video games, the meta between them is different between video games and sometimes different in the video game itself, such as Minecraft, which is what 8b8t runs on.

8b8t PvP Meta
The PvP meta for 8b8t is usually 32k Swords, Stacked Totems, etc.

Because items are illegally stacked, and there is no restriction on this stack, players carry thousands of totems in their inventory, often creating long battles.

32k Swords are also used, these are swords with a sharpness value of 32 thousand. While the max java limit is 32,767 before it wraps back to -32,767 (negative sharpness swords cannot even be used to attack), the swords spawned in are not exactly to that value. They operate no differently however, killing a player instantly if they are not wearing a totem, and if they are, that totem is popped instantly. Because players keep thousands of totems that are illegally stacked in their inventory, battles can last for long periods of time.

Crystals are essentially useless, so are regular swords and axes.

History of The 8b8t PvP Meta
Stacked Totems were spawned in using the 1.12 Crafting Recipe Duplication with a regular Totem of Undying.

32k Swords were spawned in by the abusive owner SevereAutism, who no longer owns the server.
