SkyWars is the original Minecraft server that revolutionized the game mode, launching in August 2013. It allows players to engage in battles on floating islands, with the goal of being the last player standing. This server operates within the Official Skyblock network, providing an extensive gaming experience that has attracted over a million unique players. The server is compatible with multiple versions of Minecraft, specifically from 1.8 to 1.19.1, which broadens its accessibility to a wide audience.
One of the standout features of SkyWars is its custom plugin designed specifically for this gameplay style, offering unique items and a currency called Skybucks that enhance the overall experience. Players can choose from dozens of different maps for varied gameplay. Additionally, the server offers various game formats, including Free-for-All (FFA) matches with up to eight players and 1v1 battles where players can stake money against each other, making for a competitive and engaging environment.
