When people have a certain style, it is usually how they arrange their inventory, collect stuff from chests, and move around. When I move around I always try never to get stuck on the edge of blocks which significantly slows you down.
If I am going down a hill or bump in the ground I dont jump if I fall more than 2 or 3 blocks, which incurs damage.
Damage can slow you down up to 3 blocks worth of ground or so.
As for inventory management, I try to have it in a certain shape, like an X of items going across, with food in one category, crafting supplies in another, and spare armour/weapons. My crafting is usually up to the left side of my inventory decreasing the amount of time the cursor spends between crafting and inventory. My hotbar is usually my pet peeve. I always, ALWAYS have my sword in 1, so I can switch to it using my custom control F. My bow is right next to it, then a couple of flint and steels. (This is assuming I have all these supplies xD) then I will have a food, usually golden carrots or pork. Then a golden apple. Then if I dont have too many arrows, they will be there to remind me not to waste them. Then in my last one I have my fishing rod. If I have any spare I have food, or, luckily ender pearl.
For taking down teams, well, of course flint and steel, and bow works great. Besides that block hitting is also cool.
In the deathmatch, the predeathmatch snipe thing can be avoided by pressing to the right, holding shift, then as the last few seconds move to the left. It may not seem a big change but it will usually mess up their aim, as people usually shoot at one point and take a sec to adjust where they're shooting.
I always am friendly in lobby so no player targets me, as I hate that.
Also saying Hai or hullo dere during predeathmatch can waver the enemies confidence, as only the good people say that.
Anything else??
