Hi,
Your question is pretty good and nice i will try my best to answer. There is one major reason:
- If you dont p2w in-game the things i would tell you wont help much.
- But still it might be useful.
If you are getting killed there are only two major reasons:
- Lack of Resources (PvP items)
- NOT enough skill of PvPing
Lack of Resources
If there is a lack of resources there is nothing anyone can do except your friend can give you items. As for now sharpness 12 and protection 10 has been introduced so i dont know much about it. But what i know maybe helpful for you.
- Resources can be easily obtained if you are rich or grinding 24/7.
- The main PvP resources are :
- Golden Apple (2 stacks are enough)
- Bottle o' Enchanting (Exp Bottle) (atleast 4 stack or as per your consent)
- A max Sword (Optional: you can get 2 more swords in inventory one is with kb1 and one with kb2) - Make sure to Have a Good skin of it.
- Elytra and Fireworks
- Nice Armour (with mending)
- A Good Trim best two are (Dune: If you dont got ssnl crate armour then Rib: If you want to play defensive then this is best Spire:If you Dont have this then use Spire it is also pretty good)
- Enchanted Golden Apple (It is really helpful in critical situation)
- Speed and Haste Boost (idk if they are still helpful or not)
- There maybe more things that i have fogot.
- At Collecting this much thing is up to you.
- Having higher ranks benfits and Gkits too.
- During PvP always make sure to have a backup such as Elytra and Rocket in your Hotbar I am not saying to run just use to go in air for 2-3 seconds and heal and comeback.
- Have a good team if you can (which i dont have lol)
- Fight more talk less : idk if it is good or not but sometimes i tried it and i win.
PvP Skills
This is a thing which i cant tell it is upto your practice.
