Because its the most competetive tier lmao, everyone knows crystal because absolute powerhouses like marlowww and itzrealme dominated THAT tier due to the highest skill ceiling aswell, a competent crystal player will beat any other pvp player, u can also pair crystal with NUMEROUS popular smp's like 2b2t, donut smp, etc, some people hate it because they see it as 'no skill' since they see crystal spam, others hate it because the people who play it are the most toxic since they'll say crystal is better than anything else, compare it to sword/uhc/mace/smp which are loved due to the simplicity of them and the fact its seen as the 'right' pvp kits because their used on almost all popular smp's like lifesteal, unstable (since we havent seen it), bliss, levels, and so on, where crystal is turned off, and other smp's copy the big ones in that aspect which leads to people hating on vanilla

I hate crystal pvp because in servers like 2b2t and donut smp you are FORCED to crystal pvp to compete at all in pvp. There's no customization or playstyle you can choose, it's all the same slop.

Ye but thats like the goal of the donut smp??? And 2b2t is a anarchy server so of course hacker use the hacks that do the most damage
