It's been a busy month for the team. Hi, I'm Lee and this is the January 2026 recap covering all the features we shipped last month.
Custom Ranks
We shipped a long-awaited feature: custom ranks. Those are personalized ranks that replace your Hypixel rank with a custom prefix.
Read more about custom ranks here.
Website Redesign
Alongside the new launcher I and Hachem worked very hard on (thanks xoxo), the website was completely redesigned to match the new design language of Duels+.
Beyond looks, the redesign also improves performance and accessibility. The site is now simpler, faster, and more intuitive to navigate.
Discord RPC Customization
Based on your feedback, we added the ability to customize the Rich Presence with a wide variety of logos. You can now choose from multiple colors or stick with the classic, red D+.
Port Controls
We added the ability to select which port Duels+ listens to through the launcher settings. This feature existed in the legacy launcher but we forgot to port it over to the new one (haha get it..), but now it's back.
That's all for January. We have a lot of exciting features in the roadmap, so stay tuned for next month's recap!
Cheers,
-Lee
