This will be a pretty long tutorial on how to survive on a PvP server alone, with no items for you. I've put quite alot of work for this, so if you could just drop a like or even a diamond it would go a long way. So back to the actual post..Enjoy!

NOTE: This whole tutorial is from personal experience, so excuse me if you have a different way.
NOTE 2: If I can get this to 10 likes, I'll post another. I really like this series so please leave a like! You help a new PMC user and liking will get me really psyched.

1.0-----Alone, with no help
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So "No Help" means that the server itself does not give you any armor,tools,weapons, or food when you first join the server. You have nothing, and you're alone. So when you reach the Safezone borderline, SHIFT and look for any campers, along with the bubbles in the air, which could potentially mean a Invisible user. When the coast is clear, just run. Run till you reach the Wilderness, then calm down. You should be ok.

If there's any log or wood from an abandoned base, start punching it. As soon as you can afford enough wood, make a Crafting Table and get some sticks, and make a pickaxe. Now obviously there will always be those holes in the ground that random noobies make, so stone should be visible. Once you get some stone, craft a sword and maybe a pickaxe. It's up to you. With the bare essentials of surviving an attack, move on. '

You're now on the road, which means you should just be walking to find a suitable plot of land. Make it far away from spawn, in an undiscovered sliver of the world. Since you have no food, you should kill any animals and zombies you find along the road, and avoid users at all costs. Walk, don't sprint. And when night falls, making a 1 block wide, 3-block deep hole, and camp out there until the sun rises. Keep walking until you find a nice settlement. Try to avoid Jungles, as jungle warfare is particularly nasty, and also avoid deserts and plains unless equipped with a shovel. Since the land is flat, you have no option but to tunnel down, or be shot by an archer. Read on to find out about what happens later.

Once you've finally found your untouched sliver, along with some food, time to work on your base.
Do whatever you want, but here's two suggestions:

BASE 1: THE SKYBASE
A Skybase is a base...in the sky. There's no monsters able to reach you, and if you make it only accessible by ladder, you can easily snipe your enemies, and if they evade your arrows and reach the top, you can simply punch/slash them off to their deaths. However, there is no easy escape, and they tend to be made out of wood, so you can be burned from the ground up.

BASE 2: UNDERGROUND CASTLE
Underground bases are safe, and you can get ores for armor and weapons easily and swiftly. Building them deep underground is a good idea, and some caves have these giant openings you can make bases from. If needed, you can tunnel out a secret escape/safe room, as it won't be shown, and you can just place two stone in to blend in to the cave. The only con about this place is that a careless miner could just find your base and just rip it apart before you have time to respond and kill the attacked. So the only danger is the occasional nerd.

I hoped you liked this tutorial, and if I get 10 likes or 3 DIAMONDS, I'll make another! I really like these tutorials, but I need to make sure that other people like them before continuing.
