This guide is great! It explains everything ranging from rules to currency and strategy! It's like mine but has more detail/visuals :p http://www.mineverse.com/threads/Ω-in-depth-guide-to-bedwars-Ω.79817/
I think they are just disabled period I tried them on some other people not my teammates they don't work
Gaps are sometimes worth it when you have a lot of gold in your echest, and you do strategy #3, tank. When you epearl, it takes away 2 and a half hearts. Golden apples give you absorption, and adds two hearts. So you almost get max hearts while rushing to kill people on the other team.
That's the point.. Don't read it if you think it's too long This is a fantastic guide Alma, great work!
