How to take over a Minecraft server

Here's a tutorial on how to take over a server. This will require tactics, wit and strategies to make this work. Here's some tips and tricks

1.Strength in Numbers
Gather your friends! You're gonna need it. If you're up against huge teams of enemies, friends and comrades are the best. Not to mention when you start taking over a server, you're gonna have to kill. This will make you unpopular and may even give you bounties. So having friends to cover you back is definitely good. Keep in mind that many servers have friendly fire, so you may have to find a way to recognise your team. Otherwise, you might accidentally kill your own in the heat and chaos of the battle.
Just remember:
-Get trustable friends (ones that don't backstab you)
-Have good communication between each other

2.Choose a unique loadout
Once you've gathered your team, make loadouts that are different from most people. For example, all of your members can choose to be a Crystal PvPer or a Double Tridenter (which is my own invention. Link to Double Trident Strategy is on the bottom). This will give your group a sense of community and will also make it better to share tips, tactics, tricks and make attacks much more smooth. It also makes it easy to recognise allies.

3.Special Banner
Originally, this was only in possible in java, but this can now be done in bedrock too since the 1.20 update. You can finally add banners to shields! Design a banner unique enough to be recognised and feared. Make it different from other factions. After making these banners, put them onto your shields. It makes it easier to remember who are your friends in battle and once again gives a sense of community.

4.Start Small- and Far
You're gonna have to be discreet when you start gathering troops. The opposition won't exactly be friendly so don't count on them letting you continuing with your work when they've found your base. The best way to avoid detection is to found a base hidden from view far from the place where players usually roam. Most players don't go to far from spawn. In extreme cases, perhaps up to only about 3000 blocks. Find obsidian, create a nether portal and travel to a place far, far away from the main chaos of the server. Bid your time by mustering soldiers, creating automatic farms, harvesting resources and crafting weapons. Make sure your base is hidden underground to make it even harder for enemies to find you. Strengthen your base by adding secret rooms, escape routes, traps and others. Don't just mine out a huge section and call that a base. Strengthen your base with materials like obsidian, crying obsidian, deepslate and endstone. In the secret rooms, add survival necessities and weapons in case your troops have to make a last stand. Traps should be activated by a trusted friend in a secret room. Use them to weaken enemies if they enter your base.

5.The Start of the Takeover
Your army has to be put to good use! After being cooped up for so long, they're gonna be thirsting for blood. Put this to good use by unleashing their anger against the enemies. Take different territories one by one, establishing strongholds in every one of them. Make them strong (duh), create defenses and put down your banners to mark your territories. If there's not enough troops to guard your territories, make use of TNT cannons, automatic arrows dispensers and dogs to defend your newfound land.

6.The Final Takedown
By now, the other factions on the server would have probably allied themselves against you. Locate their base and strike them down once and for all. Send recons to spy on the enemies' base and decide the best plan of attack. Take them down with everything you have. You already have the upper hand. Just use a little more force and you crush them once and for all. Use strategies to minimize loss. Be warned, though. The enemy will definitely expect you to come and will fight back full force. Train your soldiers to spot hostile things like mines, pits, tripwires and more. If you outnumber them, that's an advantage you must keep. The less people dying, the better. Even if you think you've killed everyone, check the player list just to be sure. Better safe then sorry. Prepare for the battle by arming yourselves to the teeth. Practice skills like MLG, close combat and sniping.
