Spleef is Seacraft's oldest minigame, in which players make their opponents fall by destroying the ground beneath them.
The Arena[]
The Spleef Arena is built on two levels with spectating areas on the side. It has walls of glass. There is a lobby made of bedrock at the bottom. The floor of the arena is made of snow so that it can be destroyed easily by shovels.
Gameplay[]
In Spleef, players are given diamond shovels have to have to destroy blocks under other people to make them fall down. If a player falls down both levels they are out of the game and are teleported to the spectating area. The winner is the player who is the last one standing.

History[]
Spleef was created during Seacraft Alpha. It was the first minigame ever built on Seacraft, but it wasn't very good back then. It has gone through many changes over the years, including an added level, death in lava, scoreboard features, enchanted shovel usage, spectating area, automatic refilling and more!
