Changelog

Development started late March 2026. First public build shipped May 12. Every update is documented here.

The latest version is always available in the Discord.

v1.0.7

2026-05-22

Overhauled overflow system, standalone auto-advertise, GUI reorganization, queue dodging removed.

Added

  • -FakeLag - delays outgoing movement packets by 50-500ms (configurable) when overflow is active. Replaces the old broken velocity reduction with natural latency fluctuation.
  • -Knockback Delay - buffers incoming knockback velocity and applies it after 1-10 ticks. Configurable per-hit apply chance. Gives you extra frames to land before being pushed.
  • -Auto-Advertise as a standalone feature - no longer requires the bot to be toggled on. Enable it, leave the bot off, and it cycles through duels lobbies sending your ads independently.
  • -Lobby randomization for auto-advertise - switches through a random main lobby (1-50) before entering duels, guaranteeing a different duels server every time. No more "you are already connected to this server."
  • -GUI tab reordering - General tab opens by default instead of Webhook. All 10 categories in logical order.

Fixed

  • -Auto-Advertise tick timer no longer destroyed during lobby transitions - the state guard just skips the tick instead of killing the entire timer.
  • -Auto-Advertise lobby switch command - changed from invalid /l duels N to /lobby → /l N → /l duels flow.

Removed

  • -Queue dodging category and all related settings removed. Hypixel patched pre-game lobby leaving, so the entire feature was dead code.

v1.0.6

2026-05-20

Win streak tracking, session Discord webhooks, bot showcase video pages.

Added

  • -Win streak tracking (current + best win streak in session stats)
  • -Session stats Discord webhook - game results sent after each duel
  • -Bot showcase videos on duelbot.cc (4 modes with video previews)
  • -Showcase pages with Discord OG video embeds (duelbot.cc/showcase/*)
  • -0.6–0.8 MB compressed videos - 4K 60fps → 640p 30fps (24x smaller)

Fixed

  • -Stats double-count bug - resultCounted flag was being reset by gameEnd(), causing 2 wins per game

Changed

  • -Changelog, roadmap, and guide cleaned for brand consistency
