Everything else

Built for competitive play

Ranked, best of 3

Matched by rating; the search widens the longer you wait.

Never wait alone

Nobody in the unranked queue after 20 seconds? You fight a bot of your level.

Attribute swapping

Works like vanilla, so breach and density swaps hit the way they should.

Tournaments

Single elimination, a best of 3 final and coins for the champion.

Parties

Up to 16 friends: free for all or two random teams.

After every match

Both players' stats, the opponent's inventory, a rematch button and a coaching tip.

Kit editor with trims

Move items where you like and pick an armor trim for every kit.

Kill effects

Spend coins on lightning, fireworks or the halo. Every kill gets the ban sound.

Characters mode

Fight as an SMP legend

Fan versions of famous Unstable SMP players. Pick one with /character; each has a kit and a right-click ability with a cooldown.
