Bedrock PvP settings
The Minecraft Bedrock settings that matter for PvP, menu by menu: field of view, sensitivity, touch controls, controller, graphics and smoothness.
Published 23 October 2026 by the PaffMC team
What a PvP pack really changes
- Clarity: shorter swords or lower fire on screen let you see your opponent.
- Smoothness: low-resolution textures (16 × 16) ask less of your device than HD packs.
- Comfort: a plain sky or quieter particles are easier on the eyes.
What it does not change: reach, damage, knockback. All of that is calculated by the server.
Installing a pack on Bedrock
- Get a
.mcpackfile from a trusted source (the Marketplace or the pack creator's official site). - Open it: Minecraft imports it automatically. On console, go through the Marketplace.
- In Settings > Global Resources, activate it and move it to the top of the list.
Be wary of files that ask you to install anything other than a .mcpack or .zip: a pack never needs a program.
What the server does on its side
Many servers send their own packs when you join. PaffMC requires its own: server interface, world bosses, pets. You must accept the download to get in. These packs do not change how your swords or combat blocks look.
The line: visual yes, advantage no
PaffMC's rules ban cheating, and the list explicitly includes x-ray. A pack that makes blocks transparent to see through them, or shows what is hidden behind a wall, is x-ray, even if it is "just a pack". The penalty for cheating is an immediate ban.
| Allowed | Changing colours, shortening swords on screen, lowering fire, simplifying the sky or particles |
|---|---|
| Banned | Transparent blocks, outlines visible through walls, any pack that reveals what the game hides |
If you are unsure about a pack, ask the staff on Discord before playing with it.
Our advice
Keep one simple pack for several weeks. Constantly changing textures throws off your habits far more than the pack helps. The settings that really matter are in our settings guide.
Choosing for your device
| Entry-level phone | 16 × 16 pack, no effects, simple sky: smoothness first |
|---|---|
| Recent phone, tablet | 16 × 16 or 32 × 32 pack, as you prefer |
| Console | Packs go through the Marketplace; keep default video settings if the game runs smoothly |
| PC | Anything runs, but an HD pack will not help you see an opponent better |
