Hey-ya Skywalkers,

today we’re super stoked to present you our first pvp game in the version 1.16 with the activated hit cooldown: 1.16 SkyWars. New loot, new kits, fancy kit skills and much more is waiting for you!

Since the part of 1.16 players on our network is growing continuously and on top of that several youtubers and their viewers asked us for it, we decided to implement SkyWars in the 1.16. We want to design this Minecraft version appealing for every player and are thus looking forward to your response!

Most of you should know how to play SkyWars, the game we originally invented back in 2015: It’s a Battle Royale game with the aim to be the last man standing. You can use items from the different chests on the islands to fight the opposing players and try to survive as long as possible.

What’s the Loot in This Version?

The loot has been reworked entirely, however the possible loot in tier 1 and tier 2 chests won’t be that different from the “normal” SkyWars. This means that you can basically find every item anywhere, but with different chances. Also, the tier 1 loot can be found in Barrels and the tier 2 loot in common Chests.

Which Kits Are Available?
We launch with a total of eight different kits, of which some will also contain special kit features, sometimes also with a certain cooldown.
For even more fun, all of these kits can be chosen for free in the waiting lobby.
Which Maps Are There?
Each of our team sizes 8x1 and 8x2 has received two brand-new maps. Of course, we preferred to use 1.16 blocks on these maps and designed them perfectly for this version!

How Do the Statistics Work?
Different to normal SkyWars, which is all about wins, the ranking is sorted by points. Thus, we’re using a point system for this game to make it more skill based:
  • Win: +5 points
  • Kill: +1 points

We hope you enjoy testing and playing the new 1.16 SkyWars! Of course, a huge shout-out goes to @_Esel, @lukas81298 and @Marakaner for the technical development of this game. Another shout-out goes to the SkyWars experts @Fynix, @KarloLive, @SpaceX and @Wichtiger for the great teamwork!

Are you ready for the next step?
Your GommeHD.net Team
