Minecraft wiki entry for Spleef, associated text: Instead of having to break down blocks manually, players may be given items that have the special ability to shoot projectiles. When the projectile hits a block, the block disappears. When players are on separate islands, they can still shoot those projectiles in order to cause other players to fall. This variant is usually hosted on minigame Minecraft servers, like Hypixel (TNT Games - Bow Spleef), HiveMC (Splegg, which has shovels that can shoot snowballs), and with the use of these servers, many other things can be added, such as upgrades, boosters, high jumps, explosions.
