Tips and tricks for Minecraft Murder Mystery servers

Tip 1

Don't concentrate too much on the tiny details. Don't be scared of the little things that are typically out of your control. Sometimes players may be new to the minigame and look extremely suspicious to you; while that is normal, do pay attention if you randomly realize you haven't seen someone in a while because if they appear again, they may be the killer.

Tip 2

A gamer's aim as a Murderer is to eliminate everyone else in the minigame, and this is done with a sword you receive. All players will be informed when the killer is about to receive their weapon when a game begins. Remember that your sword is in the second slot; avoid holding it in your hand at the beginning, and when around other players, try to avoid giving yourself away.

On many servers, the Murderer can throw a knife in the direction they are aiming to grab far-off targets who are running, but you must wait a moment to rush them before the knife is thrown.

Tip 3

An Innocent's objective is to essentially survive until the round is over — at which point the Murderer will lose — or until the killer dies. Players should look for Gold (may differ depending on the server), as it gives you a weapon to fight against the enemy. A bow will be given to the Innocent once 10 Gold have been acquired.

Therefore, to make the most of this currency you collected, use your bow properly. Additionally, if you use this weapon to murder another Innocent, you lose points and pass away as well. Even if you already have a bow and arrow, it's a good idea to continue collecting Gold. This is because 10 more of that item will get you another arrow.
