If you've ever played on a Minecraft PVP server, you've probably been wiped out and lost all your items. To be able to survive longer and get all the equipment you want, read this article.
Steps
Step 1. Find a good Minecraft PvP (Player Versus Player) server
Step 2. Get ready
Look closely at the combat arena and the people you will have to challenge. Put some food in the item bar, make sure your armor is intact and that you have maximum health.
If the server you are playing on supports the McMMO plug-in, you should train with your favorite weapon to increase the value of the corresponding skill before going into battle: this will take advantage of the damage bonus and acrobatic moves, which allow you to dodge some attacks
Step 3. Get some weapons
Choose the one that best suits your style of play. You can try TNT and flintlock, bow and arrow or a sword. Also keep in your inventory some lava buckets, which can quickly inflict a lot of damage. You can also use the flintlock to set the opponent on fire.
Step 4. Bring some food
Some servers only allow healing items such as health potions or golden apples.
If there are any healing potions on the server you are playing on, quickly learn how to use them
Step 5. Find an opponent
Make sure it's not an administrator, doesn't have better equipment than yours, and doesn't look fearsome.
Step 6. Attack
If you catch an opponent by surprise, you should be able to land a few hits before they know what's going on. You could even place cobwebs around him so he can't escape, or pour lava on him to slow him down and deal more damage.
Step 7. Jump from side to side
This not only makes you a harder target to hit, but gives you the ability to critically strike. Contrary to popular belief, the critics are not executed in jumping, but in falling. As a result, try to hit the opponent while returning to the ground after a jump.
Be careful because while jumping you are more vulnerable to thrusts and, consequently, to special moves (combos). It is worth trying to make criticisms only when attacking from behind
Step 8. Use the block effectively
Pressing the right mouse button while holding a weapon can use this technique. Parrying reduces damage taken from all sources by 50%, including attacks from other users and explosions from TNT. However, blocking limits your movement, so knowing when to stop running is essential to do so.
Step 9. Use the A and D keys to run around your opponent without jumping
This technique is called strafing and makes you a more difficult target for the enemy, while it will be easier for you to hit him. Many players use this strategy very well, which is very useful. When moving sideways, you can change the direction of rotation by alternating the keys to be more unpredictable.
Step 10. Eat effectively
Your opponent will likely be as good at attacking as you are, so you'll need to beat him by regenerating your health. Using the numbers on the keyboard, you can select food, eat it, then equip a weapon again in seconds. It won't be easy at first, but if you are proficient enough in using the keys, it will get easier.
Advice
- Be careful when picking up the items of the enemy you beat, as someone could come up behind you and kill you without you noticing.
- Never disconnect while you are fighting. You would die and lose all your items.
- If you are about to die, you can use an ender pearl to teleport to a safe location.
- Don't use a very flashy skin for your character because you will be more visible and it will be easier to hit you. Choose white or dark skins, like that of an enderman or a wolf.
- Always carry potions, golden apples, extra armor, extra weapons and lots of food with you.
- Ask a friend to protect you when you are not at the computer.
- If you want to improve in PvP, try watching some tutorials on YouTube. To get started, look for some videos to learn strafing, aiming well and doing combos. These are advanced play styles, so you will need to practice a lot.
- Buy a gaming mouse. It will help you move better and click faster.
- Try jumping for critical hits and dodge to avoid being hit by the arrows. When fighting creepers, walk backwards after hitting them to avoid blowing up with them.
- Learn how to use hot keys. Place the swords, bows, golden apples and potions at the keys that you can easily reach. They will be very useful for you to use quickly during a heated fight.
Warnings
- Your items probably won't be returned to you if you leave, so be careful who you are facing.
- Some servers use splash potions instead of normal healing potions. Use them with caution as you could hit your opponents too, healing them and suddenly finding yourself at a disadvantage.
- Don't fight hackers if you're not good enough or don't have good equipment. You have to avoid the Kill Aura Hackers as they try to hit you because you won't be able to do them any damage.
