MythicSkyWars

A modern, high-performance SkyWars plugin built for Spigot and Paper servers, supporting Minecraft versions from 1.8 up to 26.1.2.

This project started as a hard fork of MythicSkywars but has evolved into a fully independent and heavily extended solution focused on performance, scalability, and modern features.

✨ Overview

• Low resource usage
• Fast setup
• High configurability
• Seamless player experience

🚀 Core Features

• Full proxy compatibility (BungeeCord and Velocity)
• Advanced cage system with customizable spawn cages (including schematic cages via WorldEdit)
• Configurable chest loot system (basic, normal, overpowered + center variants)
• Voting system (time, weather, chest type, modifiers, health)
• Spectator mode with full controls
• Scoreboards with PlaceholderAPI support (5 different states)
• Kit system with in-game creation and voting
• Game events (EnderDragon, Wither, MobSpawn, CrateDrop, ChestRefill, DeathMatch, ArrowRain, AnvilRain, ShrinkingBorder, and more)
• Party system
• MySQL support
• Holographic leaderboards (DecentHolograms)
• Particle effects, projectile trails, taunts, kill/win sounds, glass colors
• Player statistics (wins, kills, losses, deaths, games played, XP, level, K/D, W/L)
• 100% configurable messages
