CHAPTER 1
What is a thief?
a person who steals, especially secretly or without open force; one guilty of theft or larceny.
A thief is, and can be many things. But here's the basics. A thief is someone who is a master at theft, sneaking, and deception. Someone who hides in the darkness of someones base and waits for the perfect moment to perform his theft.
Thieves are often silent, a skilled thief can infiltrate an enemy base and take the important items without being caught. Thieves are very patient, they can wait long amounts of time just to perform one task.
Thieves, unlike the Mercenaries you see on PVP servers, are not tanks. They don't just storm into a building rampaging and plundering as a mercenary would.
Thieves are more like assassins, they prefer not to kill many people, but can easily do it if they need to.
What do thieves do?
Thieves often work for a specific clan, or clans, on PVP servers. Sometimes they can betray a clan without being caught, making double the cash. Thieves often do not work for free, they usually require money depending on the job they are hired for.
Thieves do not only steal, or assassinate, they can also pillage. A thief may be hired to simply burn down a building, but leave all the loot just to show a name.
CHAPTER 2
Rules of an Average thief.
Thieves don't just run around lollygagging and burning every place they see. Thieves have rules to.
This is a simplified version of rules, the rules can vary depending on your mindset.
1 - Don't operate against your friends.
Never hurt your friends, because chances are, they know where your hideout lies, they know how to get in, and maybe your weaknesses, even a thief has a friend to back them up, without one your a sure goner.
2 - Make more friends than enemies.
Like rule 1, make friends, they might come in handy when you need a distraction for a job, they will also probably give you jobs to do
3 - Violence is always a last resort.
Remember, a thief will probably loose against a mercenary, they are tougher and have much more brute force than you. If you are on a assassination mission, avoid using your sword, it is much easier to just dump lava on them instead. Its also more stealthy as they have no idea who killed them.
4 - Bend lies.
Avoid lying completely, keep a amount of truth behind it. Even if it is very small.
EXAMPLE
You are breaking into a fort and you get caught.
The attacker asks what clan you come from, but your a thief so your not technically in one.
Instead of saying your working for a clan you aren't working for, which is a complete lie that will bring two different forces against you, say "I am not in a clan" Which TECHNICALLY you aren't,
5 - Always come prepared.
Always come prepared for the worst to happen. All the preparations are in the next chapter.

CHAPTER 4
Techniques
There are many techniques for infiltration of a base, here are a few you can use.
FOR BURGLARY OF A BASE
Distraction
Get whoever your working for to invade the base from the front, possibly setting off a TNT near the base to get everyone to come out to investigate. Hold shift and hide behind a wall, this way it will be impossible for them to see you. Now you can sneak in and take everything before they even realize it was a distraction.
Tunnel
Go underground about 20 blocks away from the base, hold shift so you are unseen, dig a tunnel to the coordinates of the base, dig under until you find a chest, open it from the bottom, nobody will even know they are being robbed even if there only 1 or two rooms away.
The Ceiling Is Lava
Climb onto the roof of the base, hold shift so you are unseen, pour lava into whatever room your enemy is in, be sneaky, don't make much noise. Once your enemy is dead take what you want.
Hell Raining Down
Find a high point near the base, shoot a enemy inside the base with the bow, the enemy will do one of two things.
IF ENEMY INVESTIGATES
Ambush him from above as he explores his surroundings, or pick him off with a bow.
IF ENEMY HIDES
Get atop the base without being seen, ambush him from above when he thinks all is safe.
Welcome to Bedrock
Wait till the enemy goes AFK, instead of just killing him which could attract attention, dig a tunnel underneath him,dig down some blocks and place lava, drop the enemy in, clean undetected kill.
Use everything you just learned wisely, it may save you.
Thanks for reading, I would always appreciate if you hit the +1 button, it inspires me to write more things like this! Thanks!
Tunnel:
if someone's 1-2 rooms away, they'll still see you. Unless you're using -sneak via most hacked clients, you're really going to do too much effort.
As for killing people, it really is best to use lava, op got that right. Why?
1. You kill them very fast
2. eldigato killed 70 is instead: 70 died from lava lol
3. it's funny
While I would never steal like that, I do have some ideas of how you could be more stealthy:
-When you can, try to walk on quieter blocks instead of crunching over dirt or gravel.
-If you know what you're heading after, try breaking the chest so it doesn't make as loud of a sound. Don't attempt this if the chest is protected by some plugin.
-To avoid immediate detection of theft, steal an unnoticeable amount of items from chests.

Anyone who calls someone an idiot for making a small mistake is nine out of ten times more of an idiot than the person who they called an idiot.
