🏰 About the server Shotbow

Shotbow is a longstanding Minecraft network known for fully custom gamemodes and a legacy community. The network hosts Annihilation, MineZ, SMASH and several other original modes that emphasize team tactics, PvP and event-driven play. No client mods are required to play — pick a mode and join the action.

⚔️ Game Modes

🧨 Annihilation

Annihilation is a team‑based objective mode where coordination matters: defend cores, capture resources and push enemy lanes. Matches blend strategy, base defense and large‑scale PvP.

🧟 MineZ

MineZ offers survival with RPG elements: scavenge, craft and survive against hostile players and environmental threats. Expect gear progression and tense encounters.

🕹️ SMASH & Mini Games

SMASH and other minigames provide quick, competitive rounds designed for short, intense play sessions and tournaments.
