Rules
Spleef has a few basic rules to ensure a fair experience without being too restrictive, but as with many activities, rules vary greatly from one server to another.
- Creating blocks between the game`s start and end is forbidden.
- Creating or destroying blocks after you have lost the round is not allowed.
- The losers must replace the blocks that were deleted during the game after the round is over. (Optional, occasionally a script is used instead)
- If players have entered a stalemate and are all on separate "islands," and unable to access each other to continue play, either the person with the most space wins, or the arena is reset to continue play. Usually, the latter will only happen in arenas that use a script to reset the play field.
- Hitting players is against the rules, except in variations.

History
Spleef was started on a server before Jun. 23, 2009 soon after the Classic Classic Starting version 0.0.9a (May 16, 2009) Latest version 0.30 (Dec. 22, 2009) Paid No Classic versions 0.0.11a to 0.0.13a_03, as well as version c0.30_01c are available to play in the launcher. Be that as it may, please note Multiplayer Creative Mode release. The rules and name were created by Greenslimy, Pentaclam and Maulrus.citationneeded It first gained popularity after Notch blogged about this article on his Tumblr. Soon after, a plethora of spleef servers and variations sprung up. Spleef instantly caught on in Minecraft Classic, while slowly also gaining popularity in Alpha, which soon became Beta. It is considerably popular in the latest version of Minecraft today, with almost every major public server having some sort of Spleef arena.
It is questionable, but it could have started as a port from Blockland to Minecraft. In 2004, in Blockland was a "spleef" where you would throw spears at the blocks and they would disappear, thus killing anyone on them. Someone who played this may have re-created it in Minecraft and others started doing it too.
Tron 2.0 featured a similar game mode in 2002, with opposing teams using the Tron disc to destroy platforms on either side of a chasm.
