I find a LOT of posts about removing certain items (ex: punch bow) or adding items (ex: e-pearls to all game modes) to stop camping. The thing is, no one EVER mentions the easiest strategy to defeat a camper. I thought I'd share this little bit of knowledge that no one seems to observe. I'll also provide a few ways to improve this strategy.
Chests are very useful. Some people use them, some don't. They are very useful, and why this strategy works. Now, this is so simple, I question why I'm the only one who uses it. First, you put all of your gear in a chest. Then you buy leather armor (optional), food, a pickaxe, and some blocks. Just start building a protected bridge to the campers island. If you get shot off, you don't lose any gear whatsoever. Just repeat this process as many times as needed to get to the other island. When you finally get there, fight until you die. Grab your gear from the chest and charge the camper's base. Simple, easy, and only requires iron and five gold!
Now, I don't usually use this strategy alone. I always add some sort of trickery to it. These ideas can cost more but usually help to win.
1. First, build a wall around your island so no one can see you. Then just use the original strategy, but use iron armor instead of leather. When you put your gear in the chest, no other teams should see you. Then when you get shot off, the campers will hopefully think you now have no gear. Let them come to you, only to realize you do have gear.
2. Build the bridge from an island that isn't yours. Have your teammate distract the campers by doing the original strategy, while you sneak onto their island with a diamond pick.
