SkyWars: status
SkyWars is currently in maintenance mode, with small feature updates. It will definitely break in the Minecraft 1.13 update, due to how it stores arena files. I won't be investing a ton of time into fixing that until the final Spigot binaries for 1.13 are released, or at least until an API is released that's final.
I haven't been completely active lately with updates, but I'll be adding things when I can. Due to my limited time, I'll be implementing the features with the highest votes first, on the feature poll.

Translations / Localization
Pleyer messages have been fully translated to other languages by efforts from the community.
As of 2.2.2, all messages have been translated to English (en), Persian (fa), Traditional Chinese (hk), Hungarian (hu) and Dutch (nl).
Most messages, but not all, have been translated to Simplified Chinese (cn), Czech (cz), German (de), Danish (dk), Spanish (es), French (fr), Polish (pl), Portuguese (pt) and Russian (ru).
These incomplete translations were all at one point complete, though most lack 2-3 messages added in the most recent update.
Change the locale by setting locale in main-config.yml.
You can help SkyWars by creating translations for your language, or updating existing translations. See SkyWars-Translations/Translating.
Translations can also be locally updated and tested by editing messages.yml.
MCStats / Plugin metrics
SkyWars uses two services to report statistics. The first service, MCStats / Plugin Metrics, reports data to http://mcstats.org every 15 minutes. As of version 2.1.7, the second service, plugin-statistics, reports a small subset of that data to https://dabo.guru every hour.
All data gathered by MCStats can be viewed at http://mcstats.org/plugin/SkyWars. As MCStats is a relatively well-known service, I'll let you visit their website for more information.
To opt out from MCStats, change opt-out: false to opt-out: true in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml.
The other service, plugin-statistics, is currently unique to SkyWars. It reports data every hour, starting one hour from server startup. The data reported consists solely of: the plugin name, the plugin version, the server version, the online player count, and an instance UUID. The plugin-statistics UUID is reset every server startup to a random number, and is not stored in any file.
All data gathered can be viewed at https://dabo.guru/statistics/skywars/.
For more information, and a copy of both the plugin-side and server-side code, visit https://github.com/daboross/plugin-statistics.
To disable plugin-statistics, change report-statistics: true to report-statistics: false in plugins/SkyWars/main-config.yml.
SkyWars Report
When the /sw report command is used, SkyWars will submit a debug report for your server including server version, a list of all plugins, and other information to gist.github.com.
SkyWars will not publicly post information about your server to gist.github.com unless an admin uses the /sw report command. If you want to completely disable this functionality, add the following line to your main-config.yml file: disable-report: true.

Epic fights taking place in the sky are just one of the things you get from the Skywars Minigame map. As the name suggests, the map is all about fighting other players on floating islands. Skywars isn’t a new game type for Minecraft, but this map is certainly newer. The author notes that players must be using Minecraft 1.8 when playing on this map or it will not load correctly. Also, it plays best with four people at the same time. You could have some fun playing with just one other person, but once one player gets an advantage in that situation the game tends to devolve very quickly.
As for the map, it’s pretty good. There are a number of small islands found around the area and many of these have one or more chests filled with equipment and items that will either make you stronger or give you the materials needed to invade another island. The treasures are balanced and naturally the best items are on the central island, where everyone has about an equal chance of getting to them if they move quickly enough. You could benefit from playing the Skywars Minigame map alone once or twice to figure out where the best treasures are before playing with other people.
How to install Skywars Minigame Map?
- Press the Windows or Start button, then press R. This will open the Run prompt.
- Type %appdata% into the prompt and run the command.
- A folder filled with other folders will now open. Just find the Minecraft folder among these and open it.
- In .minecraft you will get another folder, saves. Unzip and move your world file into this folder and you’re all done.
