Minecraft wiki entry for Superflat_survival, associated text: You can use the explosion of a creeper to kill another monster, and use a skeleton to provoke another monster. Ignore endermen and don't provoke them by looking at their upper body. Lastly, run away from witches — you cannot beat them at this time. When you get targeted by multiple zombies and zombie villagers or their baby variants, create 2 or 3 block tall pillar made out of wool or dirt, then you can attack them safely, however, this doesn't work with other monsters, as spiders can climb the pillar, creepers can destroy the pillar, and skeletons and witches can attack you from a distance.
