Skywars server

Every player starts on a floating island with a chest of loot. Bridge across, raid the middle and knock the others into the void. Solo and team games, kits and cages before the start.

What you get

  • Solo and team games with cages and countdowns
  • Loot chests that refill, kits you can sell
  • As many maps as you build or upload
  • WorldEdit included for building the islands

What we install

Checked live on Modrinth: every plugin has a stable build for Minecraft 26.1.2, so your server runs Paper 26.1.2. Descriptions come from each plugin's author.
