Minecraft Weapon Techniques

It’s been more than a year till I made my first post, and at the end I said I would eventually make this post. To be honest, I really wasn’t planning on waiting THIS long, but I guess it’s here. It’s time to ‘come a Minecraft fighting expert….

The first strategy is called the “lean, mean, pawning-machine”. This is when you are very far into Minecraft, have a lot o’ Diamonds, but, you are still in desperate need of a strategy that qualifies for  your “fancy shmancy” needs. Basically What you do is   pretty simple, first, you need a horse (white ones seem the most heroic), diamond armor, and a diamond bow. The deal is, everyone will be too scared to even click their mouse, resulting in their death. So there is basically no work once you get to the point when you can do this.

Next up is the rogue technique. The main thing is you need to get to a place where it is not obvious you are there, this will give you the “Hey- who’s hitting me?” effect. Also, wear no armor, unless you KNOW you are absolutely safe. This is so if they do locate you, you’ll be able to turn invisible. Also, as you probably already thought, use a bow. If you can get the infinity enchantment, do so.

Now, on to the “super newbie tactics”, if you don’t want to be a loser, this what NOT to do.

The “el pollo loco”strategy is when you run in-NOT like a boss-with newbie weapons, and to make it worse, it’s usually against people who are MUCH better than you. Not to be mean, but some of my friends do this in all types of video games (no offense Caetano!). Oh, this never works, and we always result in a painful death.

The second is “el pollo asustado” strategy. This is when you make a tower of dirt and just stand at the top the whole time. By saying this is a newbie strategy, I’m basically calling myself a newbie, since I do this all of the time. It doesn’t have to be hiding on a tower of dirt-or really any tower-but it’s just hiding in any way, and not fighting like a man. This almost never serves anyone well, first of all, my sister got banned on a server, since she was hiding in a restricted area. I was threatened to be reported for hiding, and the only way he wouldn’t report me is if I surrendered, letting him kill me. I have gotten myself into some other hairy situations by doing this not-to-do strategy, and I’ve had to make ups one excuses like “it’s my birthday, so can’t you let me win?”. The better way to do this is to go somewhere people may not see you and just “camp out”, mining resources (this is the only way I can convince myself I’m not using the “el pollo asustado” strategy.

Ok, so now I’m going to show you how to use these strategies the right way

So, if you are going to use the “el pollo loco” strategy at all, you mine as well us it the right way. First what you’re going to do is rally up as many people as possible, and then all make sure you’re a 100 percent ready to charge in. Then, everyone needs to hide so eventually you you can surprise attack them. One of your guys needs to start picking on them with a bow, then on your command you all charge in unexpectedly.

The  good way to do the “el pollo asustado” strategy is almost the exact same thing as the rogue strategy.

I hope these weapon techniques come in handy for p v p! My next weapon technique post will be about mobs, and what strategy to use for them.
