I saw a team of three at spawn before, all in iron/1 with a diamond sword and the other to with iron. I had a stone sword and iron armour (with chain helmet), but I also had 7 golden apples. I used an apple to regenerate my health (just got out of a fight) and I hid behind one of the trees, two were idling inside, and 1 was on the look out above.
How I bet them?
I noticed that the moon was almost at it's highest, knowing that the chests will restock. I waited until then, and when it happened they all, including the lookout hopped down to search through the chests. I striked then, taking out the diamond sword first, switching it to my first slot and killing the other two.
Like a
bawse ninja.
