September 5th, 2025
We’re thrilled to announce that the new season of PracticePvP has just been released.
With brand new maps, a new lobby, and brand new gamemodes we are sure that this new season will be even better than the last.
But that's not all, we even added 1.20 gamemodes, such as Mace PvP, Netherite PvP, and more, so now you can also practice your modern combat at PikaNetwork, while also being able to just queue simple 1.8 gamemodes.
