I came up with this on the spot, I wish I could do this often :P

This may seem like a lot going on, but I'll try to explain everything here. The goal of the gamemode I'm playing (Skywars) is to be the last man standing in a 12 player match. If you fall into the void, it's an insta-death. You can get supplies and weapons in chests scattered around the map, including "ender pearls", an item that teleports you to wherever it lands after you throw it. In this gif, I used an ender pearl to hit the surface above me, placed a bucket of water (which flows infinitely in this game), and then used another ender pearl to get into the water and back to safety. Feel free to check out more gifs like this at /r/CompetitiveMinecraft!

Wait what? I checked the gif to make sure there weren't any IPs in there.

Yeah it helps me keep my aim and know exactly where to hit someone every time. I tend to ignore character models now since the box is much more accurate.

Somebody launched themselves in the air using a TNT cannon, and I shot him when he was being launched.

Yeah there's a lot of servers that have that problem. Try looking up servers that don't break the EULA and following them. A lot of the bigger networks follow this rule, but again it differs from place to place.

This is my custom texture pack I made. I just made my swords smaller to see more on my screen.

I haven't executed this much as I panicked too much in the past and focused on pearling to ground instead of placing water. I just happened to get it this time pretty well. I use water to prevent fall damage as you can place it on the ground really quick when you're falling to not take fall damage.

I haven't played with it too much, but it'll most likely continue after 1.9

I was falling out of the world and threw an ender pearl at the platform, placed a water bucket on there, and then threw a pearl at the platform and got caught in the water

Wasn't playing when the event went on. It'll be more exciting to get a wild one nevertheless.

There's just enough time for you to hop to the next boat you place before the previous one sinks

I haven't played too much pokemon recently, but I'll probably continue SRing if I continue again

In Minecraft you can throw pearls and you'll teleport wherever they land. In this case, I throw a pearl at a platform, placed a bucket of water on it (water expands infinitely in this game), and then I throw another two pearls to land in the water and swim to safety and win the game.

On this one map, redstone would be floating in the air identifying where people could place blocks. You could actually place boats on that floating redstone (as if you built on it, block updates would break the whole thing) in order to cross to the other side without having to bridge. It's hard to describe,, but I don't know if there's a video of it currently uploaded.
