SkyWars: Classic
It's time for a classic take on one of our most popular games!
Our newest mode blends the classic SkyWars gameplay you love with exciting new items and features that keep the action fresh!
Choose Your Kit 🏹
In SkyWars: Classic, you can choose from a range of starter kits to play to your strengths and gain a competitive edge over your opponents.
Each kit comes with a variety of items to suit your play style - which one will you choose?
Ores ❌ Chests ✔️
Loot the chests scattered across the map to gather essential tools and items that will help you secure victory.
Running low on supplies? Don't worry—chests will refill after being opened!
Be sure to look out for special trial keys, which you'll need if you plan on looting a vault...
Crack The Vault đź”’
Every map has a vault at its center. The vault contains some of the most powerful loot obtainable and can only be opened with a special trial key.
Once unlocked, the vault will drop special items, and cannot be unlocked again for 2 minutes.
Utilize All-New Items 📦
SkyWars: Classic features a whole load of awesome items from vanilla Minecraft, including some of the newest additions to the game.
Prepare to unleash splash potions, ignite instant TNT, hurl tridents, and master an array of new items to pave your way to victory!
What about existing SkyWars modes?
The original Hive SkyWars experience isn't going anywhere; the Solo, Duos, and Squads modes can still be played as normal!
To reduce queue times and ensure that platform-based matchmaking is active more frequently, we’ve decided to vault the Trios and Mega modes. SkyWars: Kits has also been vaulted for the time being—it may return in the future.
In the coming weeks, we will also be releasing a SkyWars level update, which will bring the total level to 100, and introduce prestige.
Developer Note: We understand that it can be frustrating to have your favorite game mode vaulted. Now that summer is ending, we're anticipating player counts to lower - and ensuring games stay sustainable is important to us. Games with more active queues are better for everyone. You get faster games and a wider range of opponents.
All games removed were struggling to exceed more than 200 concurrent players, with often only 60-100 people playing in each region. We hope to bring SkyWars: Kits back in the future with the more kits update.
Additionally, we are working on "fill options" for parties, so you can play our squads games as a trio, without a random player being assigned to your team. Thank you for the understanding!
As always, we'd love to hear your feedback! If you have any suggestions or find any bugs, please head over to our forums or Discord.
