SkyWars is a strategy based minigame added by the Hypixel Network, in which you spawn on an island above the void and you need to try and survive. On the spawn island, there are chests in which you can find different items from swords and armor to snowballs and eggs. In the center of the map, there are more chests which contain better items than the chests you find on your island. The games are mostly fast and intense, so you will never get bored.
When this game was released in Summer 2015, it quickly became one of the most popular game-modes on the server and has an average player count of 5,000 to 10,000. It is sometimes used in animations about Minecraft and has become a popular minigame. It can be found in several other servers due to its extreme popularity across the Minecraft community. Though once BedWars released, its popularity dropped immensely, resulting in only 1,000-3,000 players.
Modes[edit]

- Main article: SkyWars Mega
Mega was played with 100 players, with players split up into teams of 5 making up 20 teams. The maps were much larger than Solo and Team mode maps. Mega Mode also had unique kits and perks separate from Solo, Teams and Ranked. Cross-teaming (joining up with another team) was not allowed in Mega mode.
Ranked[edit]
- Main article: SkyWars Ranked
Ranked mode is a 1v1v1v1 game-mode. It requires network level 25 in total to play. Teaming is not allowed. You cannot join this game-mode with a party. Ranked Mode also has unique kits and perks separate from Solo, Teams, and Mega. Teaming is BANNABLE in Ranked mode.
If you were banned by Watchdog (the cheater-banning system), or for blacklisted mods, such, you will not be able to play ranked at all permanently or temporarily.

Soul Well and the Shop[edit]
The Soul Well makes Hypixel SkyWars unique from other SkyWars servers. If you right-click the Soul Well you can "roll" Souls earned from games. Each roll costs 10 Souls. Previously you could buy Double Fortune for 1000 Hypixel Credits to double your chances, but this was removed June 1, 2016, instead Double Fortune is now always activated. You have a chance of getting many different items when you roll souls. You can also choose to roll multiple times at once, up to 5 times at once for 50 souls. Items are grouped into three different categories:
- Common - (Green) You have a high chance of rolling a common item.File:Soul Well-0.pngSoul Well and the Angel of Death
- Rare - (Blue) The chances of rolling a rare item are lower than rolling a common.
- Legendary - (Orange) There is a very low chance of rolling this item.
In order to collect souls to use at the Soul Well, you need to kill players, achieve wins or purchase them from the shop.
- 1 kill = 1 soul
- 1 win = 0-3 souls (Depending on your level of Xezbeth Luck)
TIP: If you are having trouble getting kills, you can always purchase Soul Harvesters in the shop to gather 5, 10, or 50 souls at the price of 600 coins, 1000 coins, or 4500 coins, respectively.
You can also buy kits in the shop.
Legendary- 30,000 coins
Rare- 20,000 coins
Common- 15,000 coins

Strategies[edit]
There are 3 basic strategies as far as Hypixel Skywars goes, but with many different variants. These are:
Rushing[edit]
Usually rushers use the Ecologist or Rookie Kits so that they can start building a bridge as soon as the game starts, but some loot 1 or more of the chests on their spawn island first. Rushers usually rush to the central island (or islands) because that is where most of the treasure chests are, but certain variants of this strategy work for specific maps, such as circling around secondary islands or, on the Toadstool map, rushing the outer islands.
It is also common for them to rush the island next to them, where they will attempt to kill their opponent whilst they are off guard. This tactic doesn't work on all maps, due to distances between islands.
It is most effective to rush on normal mode, using the Ecologist kit, as you can break 1-2 chests on your island, whilst still being very quick at getting to mid. You may also rush islands next to you on maps like Sanctum, Shire, Martian, Overfall, and Dwarven.
Raiding[edit]
Raiders often use a kit that starts with good armor/weapon like the Armorsmith, Armorer, or Knight, or sometimes the Ecologist kit to catch opponents off guard right at the start. This strategy works best on maps that have spawn islands that are close to each other, or that are connected by something such as Canopy or Congo. Raiding is going over to one of your neighboring spawn islands and killing anyone on it, collecting their loot, then proceeding to the next one.
Camping[edit]
Camping is the term used for when people stay on their spawn island or somewhere else fairly safe usually until at least 2nd chest refill, counting on the fact that they will get just as good loot from that time, making it fairly even.
Leveling System[edit]
Via the update of December 2018, a new leveling system was brought to the game. It functions much like the BedWars level system. When you first start you will be level 1 and will need 20xp to get to level 2 and at each level untill you get to level 12 it will slowly get higher, once you reach level 12 it will take 10,000xp to level up as each kill is 1 experience point, and a win is 10 experience(unless you have the Favor of the Angle perk, in which it gives 11 xp).
How much xp each level takes: 1: 20xp
2: 50xp
3: 80xp
4: 100xp
5: 250xp
6: 500xp
7: 1,000xp
8: 1,500xp
9: 2,500xp
10: 4,000xp
11: 5,000xp
12+: 10,000xp

Mythic Kits[edit]
Within the same December 2018 Update, new kits were added, called mythic kits. These kits, unlike the normal kits, which are bought with coins, these kits are purchased via heads, with the first costing 25 heads, the second 100 heads, and the 3rd taking 250 heads. Heads can be earned by killing people in corrupted games, which are special types of games that when happen, cause players to drop heads on death instead of souls. Your chance to get corrupted games can be upgraded in the shop for a very budget amount, and stacks with other players chances, (Ex: 12 players have a %5 chance, 5 x 12= %60 chance). There are 3 kits, and come with special abilities:
End Lord: Leather Chestplate, Leggings, Boots, (Dyed Purple) 3x Time Warp Pearls, (They teleport you back to your original location after 3 seconds)
Monster Trainer: Leather Chestplate, Leggings, Boots, (Dyed Green) 5x Capture Egg, (Throw these at mobs and capture them with a random level, determining their power), Throwable Spawn Egg, (Throw this to spawn a mob)
Nether Lord: Leather Chestplate, Leggings, Boots, (Dyed Red) (When you get a sword or bow, right click to shoot a fireball with a recharge period of 20 seconds).
