TeamSkywars was one of the Minigames of Minecraft Central. It was released on the 19th of March 2015 and replaced Hide and Seek. A maximum of 12 players could join. At least 6 players were required to start the game before the 13th of May 2017. The requirement got changed to 12, and later on the 13th of March 2018 it got changed to 8. Team Skywars was removed on the 20th of May 2021 with the Minigames Revamp.
General Info[]
The goal of Team Skywars was the same as in Skywars but the players, up to 12 of them, were divided into 4 teams. These were the Blue, Red, Green and Yellow teams. Each team could hold 3 players. Players got to choose their team in the Minigame Lobbies but couldn't join teams that were full. On the Lobby the players got armour matching the colour of their team and the players who hadn't chosen a team were invisible but got auto-assigned into one. The time limit was 900 seconds. As of 21st March 2015 there was a timer for TNT and Flint and Steel to prevent team killing. The timer was 120 seconds. Lava was banned unlike in regular Skywars.
There were 200 arenas and 31 maps.
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[]
Team Skywars was removed for the Minigame Revamp on the 20th of May 2021 and did not return as part of the revamp.
