Skywars was one of the Minigames of Minecraft Central. It had been around since the start. There were 56 maps. The maximum amount of players that could play in the same game was 12. At least five players were required to start the game before the 13th of May 2017. The requirement got changed to 12, and on the 13th of March 2018 the requirement was changed to 8. After the Skywars revamp of 24th of July 2021 the requirement was 6 players. Skywars was removed on the 26th of August 2022.

General Info[]

Skywars was a Minigame in which players spawned on an island. They needed to gather resources with the help of supply chests. A chest could be found from every island. Some maps had a centre with chests and resources. Some maps even had enchantment tables. With the resources and weapons, players bridged or ender pearled to other players' islands and tried to kill them. The last player standing won. If the time, 10 minutes, ran out, the player with the most kills won. Before the 24th of July 2021 the maximum duration used to be 900 seconds, meaning 15 minutes.

Update of May 13th 2017[]

On the 13th of May 2017 an update was launched to Skywars and Team Skywars. This update implemented a new joining system (no more signs), a better backend system and a new waiting lobby. The waiting lobby would now spawn above the map itself, with a glass floor and barrier walls. The EXP levels based on Credits were removed and EXP bottles added to the chests instead, but this change got quickly reverted.

Minigame Revamp 2021[]

Skywars was temporarily removed for the Minigame Revamp on the 20th of May 2021. It was added back on the 24th of July 2021 when it was revamped and opened to public beta. The revamp brought a completely new backend but much of the gameplay stayed the same. There were however some changes. The maximum duration of a game was reduced to 10 minutes and the amount of players required to 6 players. In addition, a physical border was added to the maps and 18 new maps were added. The maps Western Mines and Invasion were removed and replaced by new versions. A new inventory editor feature was added for all of the Minigames. This could be accessed through "My Profile" in the Minigames Lobbies.

Similar to the other revamped Minigames, Quests, Minigame Achievements and new Minigame Abilities and Perks were added. A new waiting lobby was introduced, along with map voting. The players wouldn't spawn on top of a randomly selected map anymore. There were also some changes to balance the gameplay between donators and non-donators: the donator perks of Explosive Arrows and 32 TNT were removed, and players' minigame levels no longer allowed the player to enchant freely. EXP was changed to be obtainable from kills, assists, chests and supply drops. During the first days of beta the contents of chests spawned in random locations of the chest, but this was changed to the old spawning order very soon.

Supply drops were a new feature to Skywars. They were implemented similar to the Survival Games version, where a noteblock landed from the sky with a parachute. It then turned into a chest when it hit its target block. The spawn locations of supply drops were chosen randomly. There were up to 3 supply drops per game. The first supply drop dropped 2 to 4 minutes from the start, second one dropped 4 to 8 minutes from the start and the third 8 to 9 minutes.

Supply Drop Contents
