PvP texture packs

A PvP pack is a resource pack aimed at sword fighting: higher contrast, simpler blocks, a clearer hotbar. On Eaglercraft that still means a 1.8 pack for 1.8.8 and a 1.12 pack for 1.12.2.

There are no pack FPS benchmarks or scored reviews here. A PvP label describes style; compatibility depends on the version and files, and competitive rules depend on the server.

1.8.8: the official directory’s 249 packs are the in-client starting point.
1.12.2: ignore packs that only say 1.8.
If stone turns invisible, you installed an x-ray pack. Remove it before you join ArchMC or any survival server.
Animated capes and 3D swords in a thumbnail are often newer than 1.8. The client will not grow those features to match the thumbnail.

Questions

Which PvP pack is best?

The one that loads on your version and still lets you see players. Contrast is a preference, not a measured advantage from this site.
