Welcome to the "Beginner Battlegrounds Guide". The name's Retro_Koopa, and I will be guiding you through one of Minecraft Gamer's most popular minigames: Battlegrounds!

What is Battlegrounds?
Now, we should start off with this question: What is Battlegrounds? Battlegrounds is a PvP minigame, where, up to thirty players battle it out to achieve the most kills. The player with the most kills in the end wins! Pretty simple.

How Does Battlegrounds Work?
Now, how does Battlegrounds work? Well, when you enter an In-Game Battlegrounds game, you will be teleported to a mini-lobby, displaying five signs. Each sign displays a spawn point. Right-click on a sign to go to the spawn point you desire. The five signs are: West, East, North, South, and Centre. These should be self-explanatory, as it will take you to the west, east, north, south, or centre of the map. Once you enter the arena, you must battle the other players to achieve kills. When you kill a player, you receive a point, and a Golden Apple. Golden Apples help regenerate your health, so that you have enough strength to battle again. Once you die, however, you will spawn back to the mini-lobby, leaving you to select a sign to spawn back into the arena to battle again. When you spawn into the arena, you get a tiny grace period, meaning you won't be able to be damaged for a very short amount of time. There is a time limit of five minutes and the leaderboard can change in a snap, so always be on your toes! Keep playing to rack up kills to win the game!

Equipment for Battlegrounds
Well, you can't battle or win without some equipment. You receive your equipment automatically when you enter the arena, already preparing you for the battle. Here is the list of equipment you receive:

-Full Set of Iron Armor
-Iron Sword
-Bow and Twenty-Four Arrows
-Fishing Rod
-Ten Porkchops

*Equipment will reset when you die and enter back into the arena.

Tips and Tricks
Here are some tips and tricks to help you become a great Battlegrounds player:

Tip #1: Interfere Battles to Kill Steal
-Kill stealing is a good tactic to get back up on the leaderboard. It's also good for gathering up some Golden Apples to keep your strength up.

Tip #2: Hide to Eat Golden Apples
-The battle never stops in Battlegrounds! The best way to eat Golden Apples is to hide while doing so, because if you end up being spotting while trying to chow down the delectable fruit, you probably won't have enough time to eat it, and won't have enough time to get the full regeneration the Golden Apple can give.

Tip #3: Pay Attention To Your Hunger
-Hunger is a good thing to keep an eye on, since the hunger bar will drain after a few battles. When you have time, eat porkchops to regain your hunger, in order to regenerate your health a bit. Your health won't do so, if you don't pay any attention to said hunger bar.

Tip #4: Use Your Arrows Wisely
-You only have a limited amount of arrows in the arena. Use them very carefully for long-range kills and to keep other players at a safe distance.

Tip #5: Use the Fishing Rod for Good Tactics
-Fishing Rods are actually really useful in battle. You can use them to hold back your opponents, knock them off ladders or knock them to their doom from large heights.

Well, that should be it for the "Beginner Battlegrounds Guide". Hopefully, you have learned something from this guide. Thanks.
