Top 5 Minecraft PvP builds to make combat more entertaining

5) Gladiator arena

This arena is a great way to practice PvP. It's also a great way to play with your friends, as you can set up some rules and play in teams or just against each other. This build is pretty simple but it is definitely not easy to create, because of how massive the design is. It is primarily built from stone, so it would be possible to build on a survival server but would take a lot of time.

You may want to make sure that you have plenty of space before starting this project! The finished size is extremely huge, so you don't want to be stuck clearing out trees just to finish the arena. This amazing video tutorial was made by YouTuber Gamarudo.


4) Small medieval arena

This medieval arena is a simple, compact design that's ideal for players who want to get straight into the action. It's also perfect for those who don't have much space in their Minecraft world, or if they just want something quick and easy to build.

This design features a central circle arena surrounded by spectator stands and viewing platforms (which can be used by other players). A fence can be added around the area to keep spectators safe from harm during battles! This build was made by the Minecraft YouTuber, NeatCraft.


3) Piston arena

The piston arena is a great example of a simple yet effective PvP build. It is built with a very simple design, and the main idea is to make use of pistons and redstone, with a small area for players to spawn in, with walls surrounding it. This would be a great build for a duel server in Minecraft.

The design allows for the PvP match to be fair, as both sides will open up at the same time, allowing players to start combat at the same time. The redstone and pistons are all underneath the arena, so none of them are visible, making the arena look bad. This incredible build was created by popular YouTuber Mumbo Jumbo.


2) Nordic arena

The Nordic Arena is a great design for players who want to watch the action while they're not fighting. It has a small open space for combat and easy viewing of the whole thing.

The arena itself is designed with a Nordic theme in mind, which makes sense since they used to battle a lot in the olden days! This means that you'll see some traditional Scandinavian architecture throughout the arena. This fabulous PvP arena was created by YouTuber Minecraft Hammer.


1) Large medieval arena

This arena is the largest of all the designs, with a great open area and plenty of space for players to move around. It's good for team games or large player counts, as well as melee and archery combat.

The build is another tutorial with a medieval look, which is truly something that looks great in these types of structures. This video was made by YouTuber BlueNerd.
