Here Are the Best Minecraft Mini Games You Need to Try!

The enticing world of Minecraft is filled with numerous activities for players to partake in. Apart from the usual survival and creative modes, gamers can also check out various servers filled with many game modes. While there’s an array of challenging modes like hardcore mode, achievement hunting, and themed game modes, you also get access to several mini-games that have always been popular among casual gamers. Without further ado, here are some of the best mini-games that you need to try in Mojang’s sandbox.

The Best Minecraft Mini Games

Bed Wars

This strategic team-based game divides players into two different groups with each player getting their own bed as a respawn point. The main objective of the game is to protect your team’s beds while attempting to destroy those of your enemies. Players will have to gather resources to build defenses and craft weapons. Bed Wars is one of the most popular games that is present in almost all servers.

Spleef

This is one of the most well-established mini-games that has an emphasis on strategy and player agility. You spawn on a platform made of destructible blocks and the main goal is to break the blocks, causing players to fall while you carefully avoid the same fate. Mastering this mini-game requires you to be quick on reflexes as it is pretty fast-paced, allowing for a fun yet competitive gameplay.

Sky Wars

A survival-based mini-game where you spawn on floating islands and battle it out with each other to be the last one standing, ultimately winning the game. You will only be allotted limited resources which you must use to build bridges to other islands, loot chests, etc. Mastering Sky Wars requires you to make efficient use of your resources along with being proficient in combat and building.

Murder Mystery

Although the core concept of murder mysteries has been explored in numerous other titles, experiencing this in the unique sandbox world of Minecraft is pretty fun. There is one murderer and one sheriff with the former being equipped with a sword that instantly kills others in one hit.  The sheriff must stop the killer before they take out the entire lobby, by firing a bow and arrow at them. Other players can also access the bow, provided they find enough coins and buy one.

Parkour Maps

As the name suggests, these maps put your traversal and movement skills to the test as you must navigate through several challenging courses, dodging obstacles by jumping, running, and dodging. Completing the courses in the required time will make you the ultimate winner. These maps often range in difficulty; while some can be completed pretty easily, you will also run into maps that can be brutally difficult.

Those are pretty much all the best mini-games that you can try out in Minecraft. Although most of these games can be pretty fun, especially when played with friends, certain modes really challenge you and put your skills to the test.
