Talk:Tutorials/Player versus Player

How do I create or setup a pvp area or a safe zone and a warzone in my minecraft multiplayer server? I have no Bukkit or plugins or mods and want to try do it without plugins if it's possible, this is my first server too.

-Your post was badly misspelled, and remember to sign your posts with four tildes. Also, this is not a place to ask how to set up a server, it's to ask on how to improve the article. But, if you want a solution, use Bukkit and the Factions plugin. You can't do this vanilla style. See Tutorials/Setting up a server for help on how to set up a server. 173.206.188.202 23:29, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

All done
I presume that this page has enough to get a newbie to the pro level... eventually. This mostly has enough to at least let them survive for a while, so I think that although this page shouldn't be finalized, I honestly think that the Need-your-help-work-in-progress template should be removed. 64.56.253.180 18:34, 8 December 2012 (UTC) (major contributor)

Added information on large battles, removed seriously incorrect information and terrible advice such as the statement that a stone pick with iron armor is weaker than a stone sword with none, in fact, the armored player would win with 3.33 hearts on average. Also, that fighting juggernauts with iron armor is better than running for your life. One should NEVER go iron sword vs. diamond everything. Potions and fire, maybe, but iron vs. Diamond is suicide.

Not necessarily, actually. It depends on how much skill you got. A stone sword deals a full heart of damage. 72.136.183.109 01:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC) (major contributor)

Sorting?
Hello, I just read this very good PvP guide. However, I think there might be some improvements for this. What I mean? Well, as far as I read this, you are mixing stuff together: Surviving alone and surviving with other players on your side. I really think this should be split. Also, how about sneaky attacks and spying out the enemy and backstabbing him? I really think this should be added here. 91.15.111.64 Who cares about my name?

You're suggestion is good, but I believe that the point of this guide is to survive no matter the cost (with some exceptions). It may somewhat have some sense to mix things up around due to the fact that this is far more difficult than hardcore mode due to the fact that you will die no matter what and that making it to the End in Hardcore Mode does not guarantee you'll be able to do the same here since, well, nearly everybody is your enemy. However, feel free to add things in and cut and move things around! :) 173.206.10.102 20:31, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Please rework this terrible mess
I know that there is a number of PvP servers out there, but this guide is just incoherent, full of redundancy, and 4/5th of the content is just blatantly obvious.

It would be nice if you could rework this thing to also give ideas about bases and the nature of PvP servers, not stopping to analyze "Hey, you use a sword to kill people!" Preceding unsigned by 99.34.207.215. Please sign your posts.

I've been contributing to this article for a long time, and it's supposed to help those that do NOT have experience with PvP. While you somewhat have a point, this is intended as a tutorial, not an extension for after you deprived everybody of their diamonds. Not everything is obvious and in coherent. Keep in mind, this is not to give ideas, but this actually contains advice I personally found very useful when I started out. 174.114.8.167 12:39, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to describe it...
This just...how do I put it, looks like one of those game guides that was written by one person, not any type of encyclopedic article. And honestly...not a good one. I know it's a tutorial but seriously, abandon encyclopedic conduct? JDHuff185 00:18, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

It's intended mostly as a tutorial, and even though I was writing most of the page myself, it's not really supposed to be encyclopedic, mainly on the fact I don't understand how it could be. Could you please suggest a little more on how it can be encyclopedic without giving the player clues on having advantages over other players via exploiting? 173.206.74.102 19:29, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Minecraft PE PVP
WIth the new addition of minecraft PE servers shouldn't there be a section on it. I also feel like this tutorial is so crude as it is, that it needs to be cleaned up before any more work can be done on. Omnipanmc (talk) 04:06, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

It is different
This page needs help. The page doesn't seems to fit with the other pages on the wiki (the wording just does not fit). I also don't like how it has words in all capital letters (ex. FLEE!) Please re-do this page. SchobbishBot3000 (talk) 02:37, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
