How to play PvP in Minecraft Legends: Versus Mode

Versus mode is the game’s PvP section and allows players to battle against each other in private or public matches, with games usually consisting of between 1v1 to 4v4s. However, you can only partake in 1v1s and 2v2s in private matches as opposed to public.

Here’s how to start your own PvP match in Minecraft Legends:

1. Head to the main menu.
2. Select Versus Mode.
3. Join a public game or select ‘Host Game’
4. Invite your friends to the private match by selecting the ‘Friends’ button (Tab on PC).
5. Wait for all your friends to join and begin.

For a public game, you will need a minimum of six players and the teams will be filled with any player, whether they are friends or not. So, if you want to play solely with friends then click Private, this way you can play any PvP from 1v1 to 4v4.
