How to pwn noobz #1: Minecraft Survival Games
This is a new blog series called How to pwn noobz! It will give tips on how to win challenges in Minecraft.
The survival games/ hunger games are a minecraft PvP battle based off of the book & movie, "The Hunger Games". You enter an arena with 2-24 players (including you). Around the arena are several chest with weapons, food, tools, and armor. You goal is to be the last surviving player... and to do this you're gonna have to kill some of the other players. Here are some tips that will help you win:
Tip #1: The Cornucopia
The Cornucopia is at the center of the map, and you spawn in a circle around it. It has lots of chest with items in them, and is the place where the most people die. Some people will tell you to avoid the Cornucopia since it is often the stage of the most fighting. My advice is to head towards the cornucopia. Grab as much stuff as you can. Then, depending on your items, either run or defend. If you have poor items, get out of there. However, if you have a good sword, then try to kill everyone at the cornucopia: most of them will run away.
Tip #2: Allies
Don't ally with strangers. Ally with irl friends. If you ally with a stranger kill him while he trusts you.
Tip #3: Swords/Armor
Iron swords are usually the best you'll find in an arena, but diamond swords are of course the best. Stone is good, and wood is OK, but still better then nothing. Armour ranks as follow (worst to best): None, Leather, Gold, Chain, Iron, Diamond. Chain and gold are about the same- I think gold is a tiny bit stronger but breaks very quickly. Bows are the best weapon if you have arrows.
Tip #4: Food
Be aware of your hunger bar. nuff said.
Tip #5: Courage
It is always better to attack then be attacked. Don't be a wimp. If you see someone, then one of you should die. It's no big deal if you lose:you can play again!

Good luck!
