Blizzard

A huge snow storm has drifted through the map! Collect and throw snowballs at other players to damage them or knock them off the map. And if you stay on your spawn island for too long, destructive snowballs will destroy your island!

TNT Madness

You asked us to fix TNT jumping, so we went one step further. In this mode there is no explosion damage and we've added different types of custom TNT you can use to launch yourself (and others) around the map. Destroyed blocks will drop even more TNT.



Rush

A very fast-paced game. Spawn island chests contain Enderpearls which can be used to travel quickly, but when thrown you will physically ride the pearl and can be damaged. Very quick, very fun.

Floor is Lava

Any blocks stepped on will start to break slowly and turn into lava. As the game progresses, blocks break even faster, meaning you have to constantly move to stay alive. Iron blocks (and other tough blocks) break slower, so loot quickly and use these to your advantage.

Hey all! We've talked about our upcoming SkyWars update for a while and now it's here, available for you to play right now on the server. This update includes:Read on to find out more about this update, or login to the server to play it now.Say hello to the SkyWars Laboratory! The Laboratory or Lab is a collection of highly experimental super fun new modes all based on the original SkyWars, but with crazy new mechanics.The Lab was inspired by discussion about the Insane mode modifiers. After listening to your feedback, we realised that the modifiers in Insane SkyWars weren't very interesting, and for various reasons were not selected that often. We have now removed the modifiers from Insane entirely, and instead aim to create new and interesting 'modified' modes which we will add to Labs over time. If you have any cool ideas for modes, share them with us!You can play these experimental modes right now in the SkyWars lobby by clicking the Laboratory NPC. Please note that to avoid game starting issues these modes do not have map selector, and modes may be removed (and new modes added) at any time.The first version of Labs is shipping with 5 modes:All players have different colored armor, and start with different colored dyes in their hotbar. You can only damage an armor color by hitting that player with the dye of the same color e.g Red Dye can damage Red Armor. Pick up more armor to survive longer, and swap your dyes quickly to deal the most damage!We've updated the SkyWars lobby with some improvements. We've switched from Play Signs to NPCs (like the Prototype Lobby) and have updated the leaderboard system to the new system. Other small improvements include moving the portal back so you don't hear the noise as much and flattening the area to give more space to use certain cosmetics.Overall we feel this is a strong improvement and we look forward to hearing what you think.We've added new Kits and Perks to Solo, Mega and Ranked. Please note that the Ranked kits will not be available until the end of the season as to not upset balance mid-season.We would like to thank the Hypixel Council for their balancing expertise and all of those who helped test out the lab experiments. Looking forward to hearing your feedback in-game on the forums. Have fun.
