How it works

Gear Up

Search chests and resource generators for blocks, weapons, and armor to prepare for battle.

Build and Defend

Protect your bed or fortify your island before the other teams come for you.

Battle to Win

Build bridges across the void, outplay your opponents, and fight to be the last team or player standing.

Choose Your Battle

Pick your favorite way to compete.

Bed Wars

  • Teamwork
  • Strategy
  • Defense

It’s all about teamwork, strategy, and securing your base. Similar to Capture the Flag, but with a twist—your team’s bed is your respawn point! Protect your bed at all costs while trying to destroy your opponents' beds. Once their bed is gone, eliminate the players to claim victory. Will your team dominate the battlefield, or will you fall to the enemy's forces?

Sky Wars

  • Free-for-all
  • Survival
  • Building

Take to the skies in this fast-paced, free-for-all PvP minigame! Starting on your own floating island, you'll scavenge chests filled with weapons, armor, and building blocks to help you survive. Strategically outwit and eliminate other players as you build, fight, and defend your position. Only the last player standing will claim victory in this high-flying survival challenge!

New: Winter Spleef & TNT Run

Two more ways to compete, with a snowy twist: our own winter arenas for two Minecraft favorites, for grades 4 and up.

Minecraft Winter Spleef: a player in a red cape with a shovel, among holes dug in the snow floor of an ice-walled arena

Winter Spleef

Break the snow beneath your opponents and send them falling through the arena. Keep moving, avoid the gaps, and be the last player standing!
