CHAPTER III

SURVIVAL TIPS: WHAT TO DO BEFORE PvP AND IN THE EARLY PART OF THE GAME

Doing ample preparation prior to engaging in combat and knowing what to do as soon as the game starts can mean the difference between being quickly eliminated by the enemy and emerging victorious in PvP. Before moving on to combat tips and tricks, then, it’s important that you know how to survive in the first few minutes of the game. Read the points below to get started.

Make sure you have everything necessary before agreeing to an organized PvP game. Aside from food, you need weapons if you don’t want to be defenseless. For range attacks, it is recommended that you have a bow and lots of arrows in your inventory. And for melee combat, you should carry a sword, and have a spare one in your inventory. You also need a full set of armor (iron will do) for protection. On that note,

Bring the best equipment you can get your hands on. Diamond armor is the strongest, so if you have this, wear it. Some will argue that it’s better to keep a low profile than flaunt what you have when doing PvP, but more often than not, a player in diamond armor becomes less of a target because he is perceived as hard to defeat. If you can’t get your hands on this, make sure that you at least have iron armor on.

Make use of enchantments. An enchantment increases one or more of the attributes possessed by the item you chose to upgrade. Your weapons, tools, and armor can all be enchanted to give you an advantage in battle. It is advised that you make use of enchanted gear if possible before engaging in PvP.

Don’t forget to include Golden Apples… Golden apples do not only satisfy hunger but also grant health regeneration – two things that are undoubtedly beneficial to any Minecraft player engaged in PvP. It can also be consumed even when you’re full, so right before you go to battle you can eat one to help maintain your health as you fight. You can also craft these and stack up to 64 apples in one inventory slot, so there’s no worry of running out of space for other essentials.

Or if you can, enchanted golden apples. These have the same characteristics as regular golden apples, but they enable faster regeneration. They also grant fire resistance and increase your resistance so you’re better protected during a fight.

Take note of the “optionals”. These are items that – while not crucial – can help you survive and win PvP, such as flint and steel for placing fire, and a bucket each of lava and water.

Bring potions with you. Specifically, bring those that can help you offensively and defensively – such as Splash Instant Damage and Poison potions, and concoctions that grant invisibility, instant full health, and regeneration.

Make sure your inventory is properly managed. If you don’t know what will happen if you press a certain shortcut key, you’re doomed. That said, make sure that you organize the items in your inventory, and remember which item corresponds to your shortcuts. You can follow what most players do and assign your primary and secondary weapons to the first and second hot bar slots for easy access.

Still with regard to inventory, make sure that you know what you have and what you lack in items and resources. You don’t want to be caught in a fight thinking you’ll win because of a particular item and then finding out too late that you don’t have it. Also, take note of your available space. If there are only a few slots left, prioritize the gathering and storage of essentials.

Run away first. If you’re joining a PvP server with lots of players, the best thing you can do in the beginning is to run away from the majority of them. This will give you time to gather resources, eat, and maybe even build a house for protection against hostile mobs.
