Fractal Combat

# Player Tutorial

Getting Started

Once fractal-combat is installed, you can challenge other players to 1v1 duels using bending abilities only or anything goes battles.
##

Starting a Duel

Casual Duel:

/b duel
This sends a duel request. The other player must accept by typing the same command back with your name:

/b duel
Ranked Match:

/b rankedmatch
Same flow — they accept by typing it back with your name. Ranked matches record your W/L on your profile.

Requirements to Start

Both players must be in the same chunk (stand near each other)
No other players in the 3×3 chunk arena — clear the area first
No other duel active in that area
Ranked Match Restrictions
Ranked matches are pure bending only. You cannot have any of these in your inventory:

Armor (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots)
Weapons (swords, axes, bows, etc.)
Most items
Allowed items:

Potions (water bottles)
Cooked beef
Cooked chicken
If you have a disallowed item, you’ll be told what to remove before the match can start.

During the Duel

The arena is a 3×3 chunk area centered where you started
You cannot leave the arena — you’ll be teleported back if you try
Non-fighters cannot enter — they’ll be teleported out
Projectiles from outside are blocked from entering the arena
You can only attack your opponent — hitting other players is blocked during a duel
Winning a Duel
A duel ends when:

A fighter dies — the other player wins
A fighter logs out — the other player wins
A fighter cancels — the other player wins
The loser is healed to full HP after the duel ends. The result is broadcast to the entire server.

Cancelling a Duel
If you have a pending request or want to forfeit an active duel:

/b duelcancel
Checking Scores
View your own win/loss record:

/b scores
Check another player’s record:

/b scores
This shows your regular duels, ranked matches, and total W/L.

Tips

Coordinate with your opponent to meet in an open area away from other players
For ranked matches, clear your inventory of weapons and armor before sending the request
Use your bending abilities strategically — chi management matters in duels
The arena is locked once the duel starts, so pick your starting position wisely
