Double blast protection turns Minecraft PvP into a fast-paced respawn anchor battle—and makes it possible to keep fighting without explosion knockback. I test the strategy across a series of hole fights, spamming anchors against different opponents to see how powerful this armor setup really is.
The lack of knockback makes anchor combos easier, but it comes with a risky tradeoff: getting trapped near a ledge or caught without a totem can leave you exposed. This Minecraft PvP gameplay explores the benefits, drawbacks, and frantic timing of double blast protection in the anchor meta.

00:00Anchor spam time.
00:02Oh!
00:02Yo!
00:03Oh my!
00:04You guys have spoken, today we are trying out double blast protection,
00:08and of course we'll do it on my respawn anchors account,
00:10since we'll be using a lot of them.
00:12Enjoy!
00:12And in case you guys don't know what double blast prot does,
00:15if you have it on two armor pieces,
00:17you take no explosion knockback damage.
00:19Or, you still take the damage, but you don't take the knockback part,
00:22which is very good for whole fights and spamming out anchors,
00:25which is what you guys are telling me to do mo-
00:28Okay, round two.
00:29But everyone in the comments is telling me to just spam out respawn anchors.
00:33I mean, lookit, I can just do an anchor and I don't get pushed back.
00:36That's very OP for whole fights.
00:38This is a high tier five.
00:39Okay, let's see if we can beat them.
00:41Let's go in the hole.
00:43Spam anchors time.
00:45And as you can see, I can just spam these out without getting pushed back,
00:48which is awesome.
00:49Oh, I was not holding a totem.
00:51The only disadvantage is that if they pop your totem,
00:55you don't get knocked back.
00:56So if you're next to obsidian, you're just cooked.
00:58It has upsides and downsides.
01:01So we're just going to see if it's worth it today.
01:03And yeah, just try our best.
01:05I'm just going to be trying to spam as much anchors as possible as well.
01:08That's why we're on this account today.
01:10Okay, where'd he go?
01:11Over there.
01:12Boom, let's pearl.
01:15Okay, interesting.
01:17Heal time.
01:18Oh, he's also anchoring a bunch.
01:20He knows the method.
01:22Anchors are just the method, guys.
01:24It's simple as that.
01:27Anchors are also good because if they're on fire,
01:29which happens a lot,
01:31you can't really knock them up to crystal them.
01:33They just don't get knocked up.
01:35Oh, there we go.
01:37And as you can see, the double anchor is very easy
01:39when you don't get knocked back from it.
01:41Alright, here we go.
01:42Reverse G fire.
01:44Let's see if we can win this one.
01:45Ready?
01:46Hooah.
01:48Where's he going?
01:50Okay, let's just heal.
01:52I'm going.
01:55Nice.
01:56Anchor again.
01:57Oh, wow.
01:58That was a fast one.
01:59What?
02:00I will say, it is a little weird to get used to, but it does make the whole fights much,
02:05much easier if you're just trying to use anchors mostly, which is what you're mostly going to do in today's
02:10meta.
02:10So, yeah, it's a pretty good, uh, pretty good setup to have.
02:14Double blast spot.
02:15Definitely recommend it.
02:17And I'm actually using this because you guys commented to try it.
02:19So, thank you.
02:20Oh, my gosh.
02:22Let's go into this hole again.
02:24Oh, there we go.
02:26That was not too hard.
02:27Alright, this time reverse Zevastator.
02:29Let's go in.
02:30He's already anchoring before I even can.
02:33Okay, here we go.
02:35Anchor.
02:36I'm also going to try to save anchor more as well.
02:38AKA just block it off like that.
02:41Uh-oh.
02:42Oh, wow.
02:43He's kind of fast with it too.
02:45Okay, let's just heal up.
02:47Now, let's go in.
02:48He also has his shield out, so he might have to break with an axe at some point.
02:51Oh, or not.
02:53Alright, reverse lilmex one this time.
02:55Here we go.
02:56Good luck.
02:57And let's purlin'.
02:58Boom.
02:59Here we go.
03:01Don't slow fall me.
03:02Oh, my.
03:02I almost died right there.
03:04I almost blew myself up.
03:05Where's he going?
03:06Hello?
03:08Alright, let's just anchor in.
03:09Oh!
03:10What the?
03:11What was that combo?
03:12Death 13.
03:13Here we go, guys.
03:14Let's go in.
03:15I just want to do a round round.
03:16I'm just only anchoring, you know?
03:18Just spamming as much as possible.
03:20That'd be awesome.
03:21Where is he?
03:22Bro, he's behind me.
03:24Okay, nice.
03:25Anchor in there.
03:27Uh-oh.
03:28That was close.
03:30Nice.
03:33Boom.
03:33Boom.
03:34We're getting slightly faster with the anchors, but still can be a lot quicker with them.
03:39And I can also block off the damage a lot more, too.
03:42AKA just safe anchor more.
03:45Oops.
03:45I didn't get that one right.
03:47Uh.
03:48Oh, my gosh.
03:49That was close.
03:50Tide.
03:51Let's curl over here.
03:53Nice.
03:54He just exploded himself.
03:55Oh, my gosh.
03:56Ah.
03:56See, like, right there.
03:57That's the disadvantage.
03:58If you get caught on a ledge, since you don't get pushed back, you just get demolished
04:03if you can't escape.
04:04Like, overall, I would say a double blast pot is worth it if you're gonna be mostly hole
04:08fighting, but it does have that one flaw.
04:11If you can't recover quick, or if you just stand on ledges too much, you're hooked.
04:16Oh, my gosh.
04:17Okay.
04:18Where is he?
04:19Oh, my.
04:20Not again.
04:20Not again.
04:21Oh, my.
04:22Yeah, see, you can just spam crystals right there.
04:24That's why your positioning has to be peaked, or you're just dead.
04:29Okay.
04:29Let's do this.
04:31Heal up.
04:32Uh-oh.
04:32He's in the hole with us.
04:34Ugh.
04:34Let's block it off.
04:36Okay.
04:36Nice.
04:38Sandstone.
04:38Get out of me.
04:40Okay.
04:43Oh, my goodness.
04:44He's fast with it, though.
04:45Those guys are actually pretty good, guys.
04:46I'm scared.
04:47Oh, my gosh.
04:49Chill.
04:50Let's block off.
04:53Okay.
04:53Let's get out of here.
04:54Heal.
04:58Uh-oh.
04:59Can I anchor on his head or something?
05:02No way he didn't pop from that.
05:04Okay.
05:04Pop himself.
05:06Come on.
05:10I have no more totems left.
05:11This is bad.
05:12Ugh.
05:13Wait.
05:13Maybe I can get out of here and mend armor really quick.
05:16With no totems.
05:18Let's go back in right now.
05:21Yeah, this is it.
05:22I'm cool.
05:23Hold up.
05:25Oh.
05:26No totems.
05:27All right.
05:28Reverse Chez the gamer.
05:29Let's go in.
05:30Ready?
05:30Three, two, one.
05:32Okay.
05:33I guess I'll just play until I lose next game.
05:36My next loss will be the end of the video.
05:39Okay.
05:39Anchor spam time.
05:41It's working.
05:42Wow.
05:43That was good.
05:44Okay.
05:44Next game.
05:45It's Valdus.
05:45Brass.
05:46How long are we going to survive, guys?
05:47Let's see.
05:48High tier five.
05:49We can beat them.
05:50Right?
05:51Oops.
05:52Okay.
05:53Hello?
05:54How's it going?
05:57Boom, boom, boom.
06:00Let's get to the bottom of this.
06:02Nice.
06:02Nice.
06:03Wow.
06:03He just broken out.
06:04Recover.
06:06Oh, there we go.
06:07General Brass.
06:09Let's go in.
06:10Here we go.
06:11Okay.
06:11How long is the video going to be, guys?
06:13I have no idea how many games he played this video, but we'll see.
06:16He's already holding the anchors.
06:19He's already holding the anchors.
06:20How's he alive still?
06:22Oh my goodness.
06:24This is crazy.
06:24Next up, we got J. Lou.
06:28That's his name.
06:29Okay.
06:30Here we go.
06:31Boom.
06:31Hurling.
06:33Is bro here?
06:34Okay.
06:35Can't disrespect bro.
06:36Is he here?
06:37Okay.
06:38Now he's ready.
06:39Whoa.
06:39What the?
06:39How do you anchor two times immediately?
06:42A little sus.
06:44Okay.
06:44Here we go.
06:45Boom.
06:46Okay.
06:47Why am I slow with anchors all of a sudden?
06:48What the heck?
06:50Okay.
06:51Walk off.
06:52Try to save anchor.
06:54Or not.
06:56I cannot save anchor for the life of me right now, but you know, it works out.
06:59A lot of you guys have been telling me to actually practice on like a practice map to get used
07:03to the anchors,
07:05because that's like my biggest weakness right now, I'd say.
07:08Boom.
07:09Uh oh.
07:10Get a totem on.
07:11Ugh.
07:12The anchors, let's just get out of there for a second.
07:14Go around here.
07:16And we're back.
07:17So.
07:20Boom.
07:21Oh my gosh.
07:22I'm supposed to die right there.
07:23Yeah, I'm popping.
07:24I'm popping for sure.
07:26Psych.
07:27Okay.
07:27I just popped myself.
07:28It's fine though.
07:30Oof.
07:32Okay.
07:32We're actually popping a lot right now.
07:33Let's chill out.
07:35Boom.
07:36Boom.
07:37Boom.
07:39Psych him out.
07:42Low on anchors.
07:43Low on totems I mean.
07:45Low on anchors.
07:45This is not good guys.
07:47Okay.
07:48I have one totem left I think.
07:50Oh.
07:51Okay.
07:52That was close.
07:52Next up we got SS Norvo.
07:54We are just repping these games out.
07:56Very fast.
07:57We haven't really had like super long games.
07:59That's the thing I like about respawn anchors.
08:02You kind of just finish the match very quickly.
08:06Like it just goes through totally very fast.
08:08No super dragged out games usually.
08:11Oh.
08:12Okay.
08:12That was a fast one too.
08:13There's also just like zero brain power when I play like this.
08:16Like I feel like I'm just pressing buttons honestly.
08:18It's kind of fun.
08:19But it's also like bro.
08:21I wish I had to think more than just spam anchors to win you know.
08:25Okay.
08:26Well that works.
08:27This is what I mean.
08:28Next up we got Pandify.
08:30Alright.
08:30Let's go in.
08:31I'm honestly just not even thinking when I play with the double blast prot strat.
08:36I just spam buttons and it works somehow.
08:38So.
08:38It's kind of fun but it's also like brain dead.
08:41Compared to like.
08:42I don't know what I'm used to I guess.
08:44Fighting on the surface.
08:45But.
08:45Who am I kidding.
08:46That's like years old at this point.
08:49Okay.
08:49Oh.
08:50What the heck.
08:51Where'd my anchors go.
08:52He's blowing himself up.
08:53W.
08:55Oh just.
08:56Okay.
08:56I did not have to do that.
08:58Let's block that.
09:00Go in.
09:01Okay.
09:02What am I doing.
09:04Let's get our axe out actually.
09:06Like that.
09:09Oh.
09:12There we go.
09:14I'm like lagging in my brain.
09:16Don't ask what that game was.
09:17I was so slow but it's fine.
09:19Some games I lock in guys.
09:21But other games I just.
09:22Am like.
09:23A penguin.
09:24Or something.
09:25I just can't do anything.
09:28Okay.
09:29Shade to the penguins.
09:30For no reason.
09:31Here we go.
09:32See like.
09:32This is already a little better.
09:35Ah.
09:35Okay.
09:36Slow fall.
09:36What should we do?
09:38Play aggro?
09:39Let's go in.
09:40Uh oh.
09:41Not good.
09:42It's fine.
09:42We can just anchor.
09:43What the?
09:45What just happened?
09:46What?
09:47Next up is taxed donut.
09:49We are just.
09:49Repping through these games.
09:50This is honestly fun.
09:51Very fast paced gameplay.
09:53No like.
09:54Very slow matches.
09:55Which usually is what happens in these videos.
09:58Okay.
09:59Boom.
10:01He has no totem on.
10:02It took him like 3 seconds to put on a totem.
10:04Boom.
10:04Uh oh.
10:06Okay.
10:06Let's just go down I guess.
10:08Boom.
10:09Hold this.
10:10See.
10:11I need a safe anchor like that good.
10:12I don't know how he's doing that.
10:13He's so fast.
10:15Oh my gosh.
10:16Yo.
10:16He's fast with it though.
10:18Not as fast as me.
10:19Next up is Gozo Lon.
10:22Yo.
10:22These people all have interesting names.
10:23I will say.
10:25Oh.
10:25What the heck.
10:26Huh?
10:29Okay.
10:31I'm still slow though.
10:32When it like comes to actually.
10:34Putting my first anchor on the ground.
10:36Holy.
10:36Yo.
10:36I kind of want to stream these matches.
10:38Like.
10:38Would you guys want to see a stream.
10:40Of just.
10:41PvPing.
10:41Cause.
10:42This is just like.
10:44Basically unfiltered.
10:45Gameplay right here.
10:46Just back to back.
10:46It's basically a stream.
10:48Cause there's like no editing.
10:49Uh oh.
10:50Not good.
10:51Oh shoot.
10:52This guy's actually pretty good.
10:54Okay.
10:55Let's just.
10:55Hold our.
10:57Yeah.
10:57Hold our shield baby.
10:59Uh oh.
10:59He broke my shield.
11:01Can't do it anymore.
11:04Yikes.
11:06Ugh.
11:07This is not good guys.
11:09I'm on my last totem.
11:11Oh.
11:12One totem.
11:13We have had some close games.
11:15But the thing is.
11:15Since they're so fast.
11:17It honestly didn't even feel like that intense or anything.
11:19Like it's just over in two seconds.
11:21Uh oh.
11:23Okay.
11:24Gotta anchor behind him.
11:26Oh.
11:27My gosh.
11:27This is scary.
11:28Yo.
11:28Get off me.
11:29Boom.
11:30Oh.
11:31Okay.
11:32Come on.
11:34Come on.
11:35Anchor behind.
11:38Oh.
11:39There we go.
11:39That was clean.
11:40I have like these periods where I'm just.
11:42So bad.
11:43In the whole fights.
11:43And then I just lock in.
11:45And play aggro for once.
11:46And then I can just pop them and win.
11:48Okay.
11:48What am I doing?
11:49Whoa buddy.
11:50Chill.
11:51Okay.
11:52We're just gonna slow fall him I guess.
11:54Yeah.
11:55Get out of here.
11:56Get out.
11:57Oh.
11:59He can't mace me anymore.
12:01Haha.
12:02Okay.
12:03What's he gonna do now?
12:05Oh.
12:05I thought that was gonna hit him.
12:07Is he gonna wait for the slow fall to run out and hit me again?
12:10There's no shot.
12:12No way dude.
12:14Okay.
12:14This is gonna be a long game.
12:16Uh.
12:17Yup.
12:19Wow.
12:21No.
12:21He's trying to spear me not mace me.
12:23Dude.
12:24This might be the longest game of the video guys.
12:26I can't leave it now.
12:27We're already in the game.
12:29Ah.
12:30I wish I could've won right there.
12:31Would've been cool.
12:33Oh.
12:34Hello there.
12:37Oh.
12:38Shoot.
12:38That actually worked.
12:39Wait.
12:39That was a mace hit wasn't it?
12:41Sounded like it.
12:43Uh oh.
12:45What's it gonna be?
12:48Haha.
12:49Dude.
12:50What is in the game right now guys?
12:52Ah.
12:52Okay.
12:52Let's just get our.
12:53Slow falling.
12:57Oh my gosh.
12:58That was a good anchor at the end.
13:00It's crazy to say.
13:01That was probably the longest game of the whole video.
13:03And it still wasn't even that long.
13:05Okay.
13:06Here we go.
13:09What?
13:11Okay.
13:13Interesting.
13:16Okay.
13:18This is not the best round so far.
13:21Psych.
13:22We're good.
13:23We're good.
13:24Pop and salt.
13:24Nice.
13:26Walk off.
13:29Another totem.
13:30Oh he's doing that.
13:31Okay.
13:32Bet.
13:33That's fine with me.
13:35Uh oh.
13:36Walk off.
13:37Just heal for a second.
13:39You know.
13:40Take a chill.
13:41Chill pill.
13:42Oh.
13:43That's not good.
13:46Trying to like anchor on his head but that was just so bad.
13:49I'm not that good.
13:51Okay.
13:51Let's do maybe one of these.
13:54Oh.
13:55Let's get in here.
13:58Last totem guys.
14:01Can we come back?
14:01Okay.
14:03Oh my god.
14:04I have one totem left.
14:05Next up is eye black table.
14:07Alright.
14:07Let's go in.
14:09How long is the video going to be chat?
14:11Let's find out.
14:12Oh.
14:13He's already anchoring.
14:15So can I.
14:18Wow.
14:19You guys see how much better I'm playing already?
14:21Because I'm not taking explosion knockback?
14:24That was good.
14:25Next up we got purely passion.
14:26And you guys are starting to see like how OP double blast pot is.
14:29Because you just don't take knockback.
14:32It's awesome.
14:34Oh.
14:35That is a perfect example.
14:36I would not be able to do that that clean without double blast pot.
14:39Alright.
14:39Next up we got ice fault.
14:41How long is this video going to be?
14:43I want the last game to be like super close.
14:46You know.

14:50Okay.
14:51That worked for him.
14:54Okay.
14:55Not the best start but it's fine.
14:58Bro.
14:58I think he hurled in the hole but the explosion like redirected it.
15:04Wow.
15:04How'd he survive that?
15:07Okay.
15:09Interesting.
15:10Very interesting.
15:13He's running away again.

15:18Okay.
