General info
Skywars is a Minigame in which players spawn on an island. They need to gather resources with the help of supply chests. At least 1 chest can be found from every island. Some maps have a centre where there are many chests. Some maps even have enchantment tables. With your resources and weapons you bridge or ender pearls to other players' islands and try to kill them. The last player standing wins. If the time, 900 seconds, runs out, the player with most kills wins.
Update of May 13th 2017
In 13th 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, got a new waiting lobby (uses the same as in CakeWars and barrier blocks around the map to prevent escaping. The EXP levels based on your Credits level were removed and EXP bottles added to the chests instead, but this change got quickly reverted.
