that explanation is not the main reason why it works, also, the mean height here is meaningless because your opponent just need you for them to be lower to break the combo even if its the main reason why it works. combo require you to constantly keep them higher IF HEIGHT IS THE MAIN REASON or else the best you'll get is a few extra hit here and there in a trade logically assuming good aim. The real reason is actually server desync.
While low ground does provides advantages, having the highground of 3+ blocks actually provide advantages too. If you are able to jump over your enemy and land, you will take fall damage which will give you 0.5 seconds of damage tick which makes you resistant to knockback for a bit, which increases your chances on starting a combo, also you are more likely to get the first hit since you are moving downwards very fast which makes it hard for your opponent to track you.
Dude I was always wondering why sprint resetting works from the code perspective because I was always too tired to look in the server code lmao. That is wild tho
@@dobi2447 here a small thing about programmers: If it seems weird, it was very likely NOT done on purpose. Often even the developers, who implemented it, don't know about the quirk until someone else tells them about it.
You should make a video covering more advanced PvP techniques from this very technical and in-depth side, like for example jump resetting, hit selecting. CPS reducing etc. as well as covering how combos work and how reducing and generally taking knockback works. This was a very interesting and informative video, keep it up mate!
You should definetly talk about the pvp snapshots released back in 1.16 as they changed pvp quite drastically. It would be so interesting to learn the differences between old, new and snapshot pvp
Thing is, since that affects PVE too, even for people that only play singleplayer/pve servers, this video is useful for them. Anyways, very cool, much pog.

Really good to see such a detailed breakdown with reference to the underlying code. Would love to hear those "interesting titbits"... Great video thanks, hopefully it becomes a series?
You forgot about rodtricking! In minecraft 1.8 there is a mechanic that stacks damage to double damage. Whenever you land a hit you have a .5 second window where you cannot be hit again, if a player is hit with an arrow, snowball, egg, or ofcourse, a rod before that period and then hit with a sword afterwords, the projectile hits damage will be replaced with the damage of the sword, effectively doing double damage. This is colloquially known as the “rod trick”
Uhh you mean they deal double damage in that one damage tick? I always thought it just applies the higher damage to the damagetick, which the video also explains. But twice the dmg is actually crazy.
Note that the Protection enchantment is best, because if you have 4 specialised protection enchantments, it's the same as having 3 normal Protection and 1 specialised, because of how it's capped at 80% damage reduction, so that means it's completely useless to have more than 1 fire/blast/projectile armor piece. You want to have at least 3 Protection, and ideally 4.
Ive looked into this stuff a lot and still learned that blocking adds 1 damage point before halving the output, resistance pots can’t bypass the random part of the calculation, and maybe I just forgot or something but I’d never heard of the 80% damage reduction maximum
After watching the whole video, I just wanna say that it is incredibly well made and if this had only existed when I first looked into this stuff it would saved tons of time looking at Minecraft parkour wikis and testing stuff and looking at damage calculations and sprint reseting. Additionally I learned several things including (it halves the velocity of the player being attacked before adding the 0.4 of a hit, blocking adds 1 damage point before halving the output, resistance pots can’t bypass the random part of the calculation, and the 80% damage reduction maximum). With that being said, I think there are a couple of things you could have touched on or could include in a future video. 1. Latency: this is such a massive part of reach in any actual multiplayer server and has a greater effect than low ground from what I’ve seen (ie rodding can be better than low ground if you give them enough backwards velocity). Here’s a video link outlining it’s affect relatively well that you could emulate: ua-cam.com/video/nOUDng4Z-rI/v-deo.htmlsi=_xAM3G6vLXEB1wc4. Although this doesn’t cover the way blocks and visibility can effect things but block pvp is entirely different challenge. 2. Jump reseting. It is a direct consequence of how Minecraft calculates whether the player is on ground 1 tick late so you can get the additional forward velocity of a jump while not being in the air during the hit and having reduced friction. There is easy code to point to and I think it would fit easily in with your style. 3. Reducing. The 0.6 times x / z reducing effect of kb / sprint attacking is incredibly important in pvp and could have been covered. 4. Miscellaneous stuff (go deeper into applications of invincibility frame damage and how you can override kb stick hits with sword hits or normal sword hits with crits (another reason you can’t just click 2 cps), talk about sprint key tapping, where you fix the sprint break bug by timing tapping sprint after every time you attack (better than w tapping and block hitting and shift tapping because you are walking forwards in the time you aren’t sprinting), any thing else I think of I might put in a reply.) Anyways, amazing video, loved what you did with your other video outlining how multiplayer is a “lie", and totally understand if you never wanna talk about these topics or lag because of how long it takes and wish to move on to other things, but I seriously appreciate how hard it is to organize a presentation like this, it’s super hard to know even where to start. Explanations on speedrunning mechanics, glitches (like the -45 degree nuking glitch, or hypixel ghost items), or really anything would be cool. Definitely earned a sub.
They're huge topics and it's honestly really hard to fit in so much information while still keeping it feeling more like entertainment than a lecture! I think in future if I continue this type of content I'll focus on smaller parts spread over a longer time so people can take it in a little easier - but thank you for the ideas, there's just so much I could cover! :')
One thing that I have experienced is that the servers are kinda terrible at calculating player positions in real time. In combat this means player locations are affected by latency more than player actions are. This means that combos are even more effective on people with higher ping, since on their screen they are knocked farther away from the attacker than the attacker sees them on their screen at the same point in time.
no it doesn't, the exact same logic can be applied to high ping combo comboing a low ping player - on the high ping player's screen they are closer to the low ping player compared to on the low ping player's screen
Hi! Bit of an odd question here but. What makes minecraft pvp fun to you? To me it seems like a lot of the appeal lies in mechanical execution, which isnt something that I personally enjoy as the focus of a combat system. And this is probably just my own preferences. But Im curious to see what other people enjoy about a system I dont.
I personally just like minecraft and to compete Player versus Player, plus it's litterally on every big server so it's cool to be good at it. If you're good you have access to such cool communities as well so that's just amazing
This was for sure a very solid video however I feel like this tutorial is more based upon 1.8.9 pvp and not 1.9. Do you think you could create a 1.9 pvp guide? there is so much more than axe pvp such as uhc, netherite pot, crystals, sword, and smp. (Also damage ticks are very important in gamemodes such as crystal)
I would assume that explosion damage is calculated based on the distance from the explosion to your feet, modified by block hardness of blocks it passes through(that would be why you take almost no damage when crystal explodes on obsidian at eye level.) UHC, netherite pot, sword and SMP are a combination of previously mentioned things. The only worthy addition would be healing mechanics. Still, knowing exactly how these things work could be helpful and is interesting. But I think they are much more intuitive than 1.8 PvP.
@@Honzik207 he stilly really didn't talk about any 1.9 combos and techniques such as w tapping, jump resetting, hit selecting, p crits, double crits, etc.
very good video that earned my subscription. i was also digging through the source code to see how knockback is calculated in hopes of trying to model the best timing for w-taps.
i thought that comboing works less because of the pitch the opponent has to face (if this was the case theyd just hit you when they fall down since thats also when you have to hit them again) its more because of the ping if you recieve the packet that a player has hit you, you will also have their position at the time of hitting you (so however long ago is your ping is how long ago that was their position on the server) while you have the other players old position which is further away as they are moving forwards to combo you, you are also moving further away from the other player as you are taking knockback so while you have your own current position, the enemy position is {your ping} off from what the server knows, making a sort of desync making combos possble
very correct, didn't go over networking much here on purpose (there's a LOT), but that plus less friction (from being in the air rather than on the ground, so it's harder to slow down and go the opposite direction) and the slight reach disadvantage all add together to make combos as powerful as they are :)
You can just run out of combo by pressing s in the fight or using jump reset to reduce your knockback and combo them. I always do the second thing because I’m not good at getting first hit so after I run out the combo I just get hit again
Yeah great comment and very true. I personally find the networking side of pvp mechanics incredibly interesting (especially because of how important it is) and I’ve always been keen to make a video explaining how combos are actually possible (since unlike OP, very few minecraft players understand it)
If you ever do this again, plz explain how shooting arrows work when accelerating towards the ground after jumping bc I SWEAR it isn't what it used to be
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was really thinking about video like this a month ago... Like if someone watch the code, and tell us the most useful tips, according it. That was the most useful video i have ever seen on UA-cam! Thank you again!🎉
i have an math exam tomarrow ، after watchin this video I forgot everything i knew 😂 . but i like it , its so usefull video for server developer like me . thank u Thomas ❤
Ahh, I finally understand how combos work in 1.8. I knew about the "technoblade" theorem for a long time and I knew how sprint resetting deals more horizontal knockback. But your explanation of continuously hitted player's being at average 1.1 blocks, which when combined with that "technoblade theorem" gives you a slight range advantage made me finally understand the incredible technique displayed by 1.8 players(guess it is not spamclick only). Also I still think 1.9 is better combat system. It adds more strategic point to otherwise boring and repetitive game.
I like both version. I think the thing that 1.9 don’t have is block placement cause you can’t switch ur hotkey that fast ur weapon needs cooldown and rod pvp is gone in 1.9
against shadowblade in hoplite (it let u use the invisibility for 8 seccods), now i know that i should not shoot so many arrows because they will disapear and ill no longer see who use it, thanks 23:48
5:22 "F" Now either this was renamed by a source obfuscator, or meant as a temporary name for later and then forgotten until too many 3rd party things depended on the name.
Now I have a question: Back when I played 1.8 (and before) I often encountered people who had a considerably lower or considerably higher ping than me. (German Internet infrastructure back then (and technically even today) is of, let's say very diverse quality.) And quite a lot of servers (at least in the German PvP community) tried to remove the half second damage immunity (some with more success and less problems than others). So, could it be that the ping practically acts as some sort of cap at how many attacks one can do per second?
@@daanman-js6jo This video wasn't click bait. It is correctly displaying different mechanics of the game in a more indept way. What else were you expecting. Also you are right mine will be a lot better with all the time I spend on it.
I think the game always rounds the damage modifier for armor protection isn't it? bc if you run that formula, prot 4 is 5.5. and I believe the damage block from prot can only be 80% in total. So prot 4 actually already has the highest prot if you get lucky, and more prot level or different prot simply increases the lower limit and therefore increase expected damage blocked.
Not really much to say, you hit as quickly as your opponent gets out of hitstun and block right after for some ticks. It's basically just adding right click at the end of your left clicks
i dont pvp at all but this is a really insightful video, just a correction for the kb: at least on the version i tested (modern), the initial vertical velocity for a non sprint hit is ~0.36075b and for a sprint hit is 0.4b (not 0.5). i only knew because with 0.4b you would be able to go over a block as it is almost the same as the 0.42b initial velocity with a jump. also was hoping u could clarify with the attack cooldown, in the pickaxe example would the 0.83s be ceiling rounded to 0.1s/2 ticks? or would it be floored instead? thankss
0:20 health may be stored as 20 hearts but it’s not really 20 for example when enchanting a sword with sharp 1 you can get like (for example) 5.25 damage/hit or something so it’s actually 100 points. Another example of this is some 1.8 uhc servers display full health as 100. Minecraft just rounds the 100 points to the displayed health therefore you can get hit with an arrow and it seems to do no damage but it did some damage. 24:18 also I think there’s a bug where if you continue fire arrows in the same place and not moving ur crosshairs they will slowly drift right/left depending on which hand ur using
holy shit that technoblade explanation is crazy
Blood for the blood god

There are different tiers that is at 4:15 and not what material it's made of
i dont pvp at all but this is a really insightful video, just a correction for the kb:
at least on the version i tested (modern), the initial vertical velocity for a non sprint hit is ~0.36075b and for a sprint hit is 0.4b (not 0.5).
i only knew because with 0.4b you would be able to go over a block as it is almost the same as the 0.42b initial velocity with a jump.
also was hoping u could clarify with the attack cooldown, in the pickaxe example would the 0.83s be ceiling rounded to 0.1s/2 ticks? or would it be floored instead? thankss
i love this, pls make more
0:20 health may be stored as 20 hearts but it’s not really 20 for example when enchanting a sword with sharp 1 you can get like (for example) 5.25 damage/hit or something so it’s actually 100 points. Another example of this is some 1.8 uhc servers display full health as 100. Minecraft just rounds the 100 points to the displayed health therefore you can get hit with an arrow and it seems to do no damage but it did some damage. 24:18 also I think there’s a bug where if you continue fire arrows in the same place and not moving ur crosshairs they will slowly drift right/left depending on which hand ur using
How do you do that blue effect?

4:31 emeralds*
wait, at 7:40 diamonds are actually diamonds, is this part of the Obfuscated map or MCP correcting it?
16:45 lmao at the background footage
the bug where you never tell the server you started sprinting again, you can use that to not consume hunger and "run"
that "box" is called a ray
no the box is just the hitbox, the ray is eg. the check that ensures you're actually looking at the entity :)
