You travel faster, you dont consume hunger (very important), and you dont have to deal with mobs (except Drowned ) or players.

However, players that are new or are simply uninformed can be quite befuddled by the different play-style as it adds several new mechanics.

Often with people in enchanted diamond armor camping spawn, all blocks within a 10,000 block radius of spawn inhabited, and most of the resources within a 20,000 radius stripped bare, its safe to say that your wooden boxes will not save you here, but never fear With the right knowledge, and a little bit of luck, you too can create a dominant faction that can rule the map.

If so, sprint away as far as you can from those neighboring factions, or at least until they disappear from the faction map.

Secondly, do f list and look at the top three factions and take note of their membership and numbers.

If the current power is 0 or negative, then you can claim over their land.

If the land claimed is 0, then they have no territory (though they still probably have some basic gear).

This isnt necessary for where or how far you want to go, but such information is always handy.

Most servers also give players a set of stone tools (although some give far more than that) to start with.

If that doesnt give you anything, then kit starter or kit basic should work.

If they dont, then that server doesnt give any tools to beginners.

Typically there will be a large conflict with the two largest factions, or a smaller faction who is determined they can take on the world and the other factions are united against them.

This info will prove useful later when you need to make allies, enemies, raid and conquer.

As long as you have a stable amount of food, sprinting wont be much of a problem.

There is a good chance that everything is looted, the villagers are killed, and the town is griefed.

If you want to spend your time on it, go ahead, but it probably wont have much to salvage.

On the other hand, if the structure hasnt been looted yet, you might want to harvest the crops from those village farms and gather the items in those chests first.

Desert temples provide you with a total of 9 pieces of TNT, so if youre careful you might just be able to harvest them without getting blown up in the process.

Some servers have as many or more mobs than singleplayer to make up for the number of players killing them.

If you think you can handle the mobs then keep moving, but if not, then you can dig a 3 block deep hole for yourself in the ground, jump in, and put a block over your head.

You can then wait all night, or disconnect from the server and do something else for 7.5 minutes.

Another recommended strategy is to type sethome, then go find something to do at the server spawn as the night passes.

Then, simply type home to return to that specific location and continue your journey.

If you come across an ocean, even if you have to turn 90 degrees to go across it, then you should try to get across because you will make much more distance.
