When it comes to axe and shield pvp in minecraft 1.9+, there’s not much in the way of guides online. So today, as quickly as possible, I’m going to run you through the basics and more subtle techniques of this particular PVP style. When the round starts, Begin to approach your opponent. When you get close enough, you have three options for the initial encounter: 1. You can bait out their hit. When near your opponent, hold up your shield, jump and spam left click hovering your crosshair over them. This ensures that if they disable your Shield you have a guaranteed hit or even crit on them as they drop their shield to hit you. Continue to spam left click after they disable your shield as they may attempt to then bring their shield back up allowing you to disable it too. 2. Disable their shield first. If you want to take the first hit and avoid your opponent hitting you back, hang just within your reach and disable their shield, then move back out of their reach. You can’t always guarantee you’ll be out of reach so just to be safe hit them as they’re jumping up So they only land a weak hit on you instead of a crit. 3. Go for a backstab. Jump around or even through your opponent then quickly spin and crit them from behind where they’re not protected by their shield. Feel free to continue to spam click if you want to then disable their shield, But if you’re confident you can keep backstabbing over and over as they cower behind their shield. If you don’t want to be the victim of this attack, be quick off the mark and spin around with your Shield still up if you see them drop their shield and jump around you while spam clicking so you can also land a free hit on them when they do disable your shield. After this initial encounter it’s likely that both you and your opponent’s shields are now disabled so you can start trading hits With each other. I like to strafe to the right, jump, and quickly turn to land crits just on the edge of my reach. It’s very important to note here that you can’t land crits while you’re sprinting, so let go of forward and sprint just before you hit your opponent Then press them again right after. If your health gets too low or they get a really good combo on you, don’t be afraid to run away and let your shield recharge so you can repeat the encounter hopefully with better luck this time, otherwise if you’re mid-fight and both your shields have Recharged just start over from the beginning. You aren’t going to be perfect at this first go, it takes a bit of practice to get the axe timing and a proper understanding of your reach, but keep At it and you’ll be pretty good in no time. I know that was probably a lot to take in at once so I’ve also pasted the guide in the description for easy reading later. And that is all for today!

Basically, this is a guide on how to PVP like Dream, or how to PVP like Technoblade in Minecraft 1.9 PVP. To expand on that point, it’s a guide to axe PVP, a guide to shield PVP, or to combine those two, a guide to axe and shield PVP, which is only in Minecraft 1.9 PVP and beyond. Another way of putting it would be calling it Dream axe PVP, Minecraft 1.9 PVP, or even Minecraft 1.16 PVP. Dream and Technoblade applied these techniques in the MrBeast duel from the MrBeast gaming channel, and Dream and Technoblade also apply these same techniques on the Dream SMP. Despite both of these battles taking place post 1.9, they both build on the principles of Minecraft 1.9 PVP. Recently we’ve seen the Dream SMP war, where these techniques were somewhat applied by all parties.
