Q&A for How to Be Effective in Minecraft PvP

Report them to a watchdog, a mod, or some other forum. Also, tell the other players about them.

Work fast and never hesitate. Do not running away unless you're really low on health. If they start running keep the heat on them.

Find a noob server and practice on it. When you've gained some skills, go to a bloated server (Mineplex, hypixel) and practice on that. Then go onto a more advanced server.

Approaching behind them can be good, as well as following them and hiding behind large items like structures or wide trees. If they are standing close to the edge of something and you hit them from behind, chances are they'll fall off or at least get confused for a few seconds, thus giving you the opportunity to knock them off and gain advantage.

Keep practicing, and remember to never stop clicking. Strafing also helps a lot.

Hide and, if you can, eat a golden apple (bonus if it is enchanted).

You probably are not pressing Ctrl or your enemy has a speed pot on keeping your FOV at 90.

Practice on easy servers or on mobs on a regular Minecraft world.

It is made in 1.12 too if you don't believe try it on a survival world, though they decreased the amount of damage a little bit. Critical hits are enabled in all versions except the very old servers.

Mineplex Hypixel or any server involving fighting. Be forewarned, though, that there may be inappropriate content for young people on these.

Keep hitting until they fall and their loot is on the ground.

There aren't many people who block anymore due to the 1.9 and 1.10 updates. Maybe just bring some great armor and wreck people.

Try to strafe and get some hits while you are strafing. When you see that they low, just go back to try to get some combos and kill them.

Right click at times to activate special skills that most servers have (AliaCraft). If you are not on a server or your server doesn't have any extras added, just click till your fingers go numb.

I would try Mineplex. It has a PVP kit that allows you to have moves and passive abilities that I think make the game fun! It also has: CTF, TDM, Dominate, and Clans (which is pretty hard for a beginner; if you want to play Clans, I would play in casual mode.)

I would hide and gather materials until everyone else killed each other. However, this strategy carries a risk of the other people getting really good gear and killing you.

Just stay at your base and collect good weapons and armor until you are ready to take them on. Try out golden apples, keeping hunger in check, and maybe a bow if you're good at shooting. Strategy would also be useful.

When attacking with a bow be sure to have a sword in case they get close. You could also use tipped arrows and an enchanted bow.

Box yourself in using obsidian, and mine your way out through the ground. Obsidian can only be mined with a diamond pick, making it a useful thing to prevent enemies from assassinating you.

Play on actual servers with competitions such as lunar.gg, minemen.club, and pvp.land. Just click fast, aim and be smart.

There are constantly players who are more skilled than you, no matter what! The most straightforward way to grow better is to keep practicing, follow these steps they gave you, and try doing the corresponding skills as a pro player arranges!

It's not very difficult, but you have to practice as everyone does. Just continue practicing and you'll become good at it and it will be very easy for you!

Getting better on phones is simply a matter of timing. Lava and cobwebs help a lot, as well as the advice of my friend, "Never stop moving" if you have them caught in lava, circle around them while hitting, same with cobwebs. Make sure to always get in early bow shots if you can't approach from behind.

Because the Wither is a mob that can target any entity, I would recommend running away from the Wither so the Wither targets your enemy instead. A lava bucket, potion of swiftness, or splash potion of slowness can be really effective! If you are in a ravine and your opponent is below you, try throwing a water bucket down. Your opponent will be trapped in the ravine with the Wither and the Wither will also take damage as well! Although it takes a long time, try to stay in the area to get yourself the nether star that the Wither drops. If your opponent escapes, try following him/her.

Like with most things, practice. Start by making sure you can control your movements while strafing, and then start PvPing. It helps to do it on a private server with a friend.

Drag clicking is near 20-30+ cps, and if your mouse is sensitive to more than 20+ cps, then I wouldn't recommend it. DC'ing is also a hard technique to learn, as it contains timing and dragging the mouse hardly.

Just practice a lot. Set up some armor stands on ice pushed around by slime blocks as targets, and try to hit them. This makes for good practice.

Practice clicking fast such as butterfly clicking, which is a great way to get more hits. You can practice aiming in a single player world by trying to hit a rabbit, which are very quick. Also you can use the /freeze command to freeze all entities to practice comboing.

An iron golem has a large hitbox, so try that if you want to practice combos. If you want to improve your aim, try a rabbit. Practice on zombies in general because they are the closest things to a player.

You might want to try strafing, and bring things like potions, flint and steel, a lava bucket, or cobwebs.
