12 Combat Tips for 1.14+ Minecraft

Minecraft pvp player vs player it can be pretty annoying if you’re not good at it yet so i have developed a list of tips and tricks for those of you beginner pro probably doesn’t matter there’s probably something in here that’ll be fresh and new so let’s jump in So here we are inside of minecraft and i have a punching bag here to show off all of our combat tips and these are in no particular order so i’m not starting with my favorite or anything like that so let’s jump into it first off we’re gonna be talking about the crossbow this

Has been added new in 1.14 and my first tip is because you can load your crossbow in advance you can actually get a rapid fire out of your crossbow just by having multiple in your hop bar so we can fire off really fast shots here and attack in a really really

Effective way now if you’re going to reload those same shots without the quick charge enchantment it will take a very very long time to get back to fully loaded another crossbow tip is that if you have any type of piercing enchantment on your crossbow it will actually pierce through an

Activated shield cheeto here is uh holding up his shield and it will hit the player on the other side so he actually takes damage even though his shield is activated and this can be very very very useful if you are in a pvp situation this next tip may be the

Biggest tip that i give you guys and that is food food food food food is super duper important because it is the quickest way you are going to regenerate health your regeneration when it comes to food did change recently and so you will regenerate much much much faster

Whenever your hunger bar is completely full and also make sure to eat something that has a lot of saturation saturation is in the background it doesn’t show up when you hover over it or anything like that but know that golden carrots have the absolute best saturation and all of

The big hearty meats like mutton steak pork chop those are all really good and then when you start getting into the vegetables not so good of saturation so try to stick to meats or golden carrot the next tip i’m going to give you guys is to use your bow whenever you feel

Like you are at a disadvantage when it comes to your melee weapons and that is because a bow will actually do more damage whenever you’re pulling a critical hit that is when the bow is fully pulled back and you see the particles off of the bow like this it’ll

Do more damage than a diamond sword will that is unenchanted so if you are in uhc or in a situation where you don’t have an uh diamond sword or you have a diamond sword but it’s not enchanted a fully powered back bow will still be the strongest weapon that you have

Moving on to melee weapons most of you probably know that there is a cooldown with your weapon spam clicking is really not effective anymore it doesn’t do a lot of damage to spam click you have to wait for the loading bar below your crosshairs to fully load all the way up

Before you can take another hit otherwise you’re not going to be doing a lot of damage so make sure that you leave time in between your swings for that to fully charge having your attack indicator fully charged is one way to land a very powerful hit and the next way is to

Make sure that you get a critical hit how do you do that your player has to be falling through the air and then make a hit and you can see all those extra particles off of this player here that is because i am landing critical hits you can also hear the sound there

The particles and that like kind of gruesome smack hit sound will play whenever you get a critical and whenever you’re just attacking that will not happen so your player needs to be falling through the air uh downward in order for that to happen the easiest way for that to happen is

For you to jump up in the air but beware that you do need to be falling so if you don’t have your timing right and you just smack as you’re jumping up in the air uh it’s not going to do anything you need to make sure that you wait until

The player starts to until you start to fall back down to the ground my next tip happens to do with that critical strike and that is that both your attack indicator and your critical can be loaded up while you are blocking so using your shield to block will be just fine

If you are trying to wait for your attack indicator to fully recharge or if you’re trying to to load up and sort of line up that perfect attack that perfect critical hit my next tip happens to do with axes axes actually do have more attack damage than

A base diamond sword but because diamond swords can get sharpness i feel like they’re a little bit more powerful in fighting also they they swing a lot faster than an axe that acts as pretty slow but the axe does have a really really cool feature which is if an

Opponent is holding up their shield you can actually disable the shield for five seconds uh every once in a while so you can cut through that shield and then switch to even a more powerful item and that will work with any axe that disabling of shields for five seconds is super duper useful

And it will increase uh five percentage points per level of efficiency that has been added to the axe plus 75 percentage points if you are attacking while sprinting so you really have a good chance of disabling shields if you are sprinting with an axe and then you can follow up

With whatever the heck you want after that next if you happen to be dealing with someone whose armor is really getting in the way there are a few ways to sort of circumvent that armor first is what you just saw there which is to have fire aspect on your sword and fire

Aspect does go up a few levels which will increase the amount of time that the fire is applied to your opponent so fire is one way and you can get fire applied to your opponent in a few different ways fire aspect also the flame enchantment on your bow and then

Also something like flint and steel or a lava bucket and this will do damage over time that really isn’t affected that much by the players uh armor unless if they have fire protection now this is a tip on how to cut through someone’s armor if you feel like they have way

Better armor than you maybe you’re in a situation where you only have iron and they happen to have diamond enchanted armor you know that that’s not going to be a fair fight going into it so you’re going to want to figure out some way to circumvent their armor and how you’re

Going to do that is with damage over time and there are a few different ways to pull that off first off is fire fire can be applied to weapons of to both your melee and range weapons fire aspect on a sword and flame on a bow and

Then you can also carry around fire with flint and steel or a lava bucket and this will set your opponent on fire and then the damage will happen over time cutting through their armor unless if they happen to have the fire protection enchant but most people do not apply fire protection onto their

Armor that’s pretty rare that you have fire protection so in many cases you’re going to be doing the full amount of fire damage to them which will really really hurt them even if you’re not hitting them at all you only got them once with the fire

They’ll be on fire and take damage over time the next tip is poison poison no matter what your enchantments no matter what type of armor you are using poison will damage you the same no matter what unless if you happen to have a bucket of milk which is

I don’t think i have ever gotten into any fight with someone who happened to have a bucket of milk on them uh then you are good to go and you can hit them with poison run away and just let them take damage over time until you feel like you are on a more

Level playing field to take them out this next tip has to do with bridging as fast as you can you’re actually much quicker at bridging if you place down blocks at a diagonal and then move in a diagonal fashion then you are going straight back and this is pretty obvious

You can see block block block versus block block block block block block so placing blocks down at a diagonal if you’re trying to bridge super fast can be a big advantage to you and finally i’m going to leave you with this and that is to try to stay away from using

Your scroll wheel on your mouse to switch between items try to get good at knowing that you can hit a few numbers above your w a s and d keys to switch between the various things that you may want to attack with and yes as you get over here into nine eight

Seven six like those are really really far away and you have to basically lift your hand off of the keyboard to reach over there well r uh f and v really aren’t used that much f is currently used to switch between whatever item you are holding and you’re

Off hand uh but you could easily rebind that to an easier key also c is a good key to rebind to so you could rebind your 6 7 8 and 9 to r f v and c and be able to reach the other side of

Your hop bar much much faster be able to switch in between your normal combat weapons very very quickly another tip is that you can actually move your bow into your off hand and then you have ranged by using your right click and melee by using your left click right

There at the same time now you do have to give up using your shield to do that but if you’re in a situation where you feel like you’re not going to be using your shield much anyway you can switch your bow into your off hand and then you can switch between rage

Ranged and melee super duper fast there you go i hope you enjoyed my list of pvp things that you should know hope you enjoyed this video if you did please give this video a big ol thumbs up also don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below especially if
