Fundamental Concepts
These include basic rules of Minecraft's world, regarding how the physics of Minecraft work, and affect pvp.
Combat Concepts
A few ideas to try in your next game.
W Tap Timing
Reset sprint after a hit, then time your next W press to control the gap.
Momentum
Momentum (or movement speed) plays a direct role in determining which player gets the first hit. The faster you are moving, the more likely you will get the first hit. Learning to manipulate your movement and the movement of your opponent can hasten your pvp progress.
Projectiles
Projectiles deal knockback to players, and lift them into the air. This sets their elevation higher than yours, and makes their momentum go backwards, allowing you to get the first hit without getting hit.
Knockback
What increases the knockback you deal, and what decreases the knockback you take.
Positioning
General strengths and weaknesses of different positions, and knowing how to take advantage of where you are.
