#1 Minecraft Bedwars
Becoming one of the most popular Minecraft minigames in 2017,
Minecraft Bedwars comes at the top spot in this list. As a strategy-based minigame, bedwars is great for all types of players.
Bedwars starts you on your own private island with a single bed. Your goal is simple: protect your bed from being broken by other players and become the last player standing.
On your island, you will find resource generators providing you with gold and iron Ingots every few seconds. You can purchase blocks to defend your bed. You can also buy swords, armor, and tools to destroy the enemy team's beds more efficiently.
How to play Minecraft BedwarsThe easiest way to start playing Bedwars in Minecraft is through a Minecraft server. Minecraft servers allow people from all over the world to connect to the same Minecraft world. Several servers offer the Bedwars minigame, but the most popular is the
Hypixel Network.
To connect to the Hypixel Network, go to the "multiplayer" tab of Minecraft and click "add server." Once there, type in the following under "Server Address"
mc.hypixel.net.
On the server, use the compass to find the "Bedwars" minigame and go to the bedwars lobby. From there, you can select the type of bedwars you would like to play and join the queue for a game!

use on the Badlion Client to enhance your gameplay.
#2 Party Games in Minecraft
When playing with a large group of friends, there will always be disagreements about what game should be played. If this situation sounds all too familiar, we recommend checking out Hypixel's party gamemode. This gamemode will allow you to play eight minigames as a mini-tournament. Whoever gathers the most points from all eight games wins the entire match.
Perhaps the best part about Party Games on the Hypixel Network is that the eight minigames selected are drawn from a pool of 26 possible minigames, each with different styles/goals. This means regardless of your skills, you will find a minigame that fits your playstyle.
How to play party games in MinecraftTo play party games in Minecraft, join the Hypixel server using the ip mc.hypixel.net. Select the "arcade" gamemode in the game menu, then select the "party games" NPC once you spawn in the arcade lobby. If you intend to play with friends, add them to your group party before clicking "play" by running the following command:
/party invite {username}.
#3 Minecraft Skywars
Looking for a heavily PvP-based minigame? If so, you will probably enjoy skywars.
Skywars in Minecraft is a fast-paced PvP game where several players are placed on individual small islands filled with loot chests. Once the game starts, you can run around your island gathering supplies, including building blocks, armor, and weapons. You can either bridge and conquer other players' islands or venture onto the main middle island, which contains several high-value loot chests.
However, be careful! The last player standing is the winner of the game, and it's easy to fall into the void or be killed by another player if you let your guard down.
How to play Minecraft SkywarsThe fastest way to start playing Skywars in Minecraft is through a Minecraft server like the Hypixel network. This will allow you to play solo or with your friends. Once you have added and connected to mc.hypixel.net, head to the Skywars lobby by pressing the Skywars icon in the game menu.
#4 Minecraft Sumo
The goal of the Sumo minigame in Minecraft is extremely simple: push the other player off the platform's edge. For this reason, it is a great game to play with your friends in a minigame server or your own multiplayer survival world.
In addition, unlike traditional PvP-based games, sumo does not involve killing the other player. Instead, you are supposed only to push them using your fists. This dynamic makes for an intriguing but challenging minigame.
How to play Minecraft sumo in MinecraftIf you want to make your own sumo arena in a survival world, start by building a 13x13 circular platform. If you would like, you can make this platform larger or smaller, depending on how quickly you would like the rounds to go.
Next, dig around the platform to create a pit, which players will fall into when they are pushed off. If you would like to raise the steaks of the game, we recommend filling the bottom of the pit with lava. However, if you want to be kind to your friends, you can fill it with water instead.
Finally, decorate the sides of the pit and the platform. If you do not care how your arena looks, you can simply leave it bare. However, you should at least add two or four spots on the platform to mark where players should start.
If you do not want to go through the troubles of creating your own arena, you can play the sumo gamemode on a Minecraft minigame server such as the hypixel network. Simply add and join the server IP "mc.hypixel.net" in the Minecraft multiplayer menu. Once in the game, you can go to the duels lobby and select the "sumo" game.
#5 Minecraft Dropper
The Minecraft Dropper minigame is a non-combative Minecraft minigame that requires you to free fall to the bottom of an obstacle course-like map without dying. While the first two or three levels may be easy, you will quickly find challenging maps or levels requiring complex, precision aerial maneuvers to reach the bottom. Are you up for a challenge?
How to play the Dropper in MinecraftBecause of the complex mechanics and intricate maps required to run the dropper minigame, we recommend using a multiplayer Minecraft server to play this gamemode. Check out the Minecraft server mc.hypixel.net, which includes the dropper minigame. Simply join the server, then head over to the arcade, which has a dropper gamemode.
