Skywars

Skywars is a popular minigame in which players spawn on different islands in the sky and battle to the death. Each player island has a chest, which provides the player with items to start out with. In addition to the player islands, there is a central "feast" which contains multiple chests containing powerful items. Some Skywars maps have additional "minifeast" islands which also contain chests. As a result of being in the sky, knocking players into the void is probably the most common way to kill other players, with fishing rods, snowballs, eggs, and bow and arrows being used to knock other players off, though some players knock others off using melee attacks.
