As we prepare for the Treasure Wars special leaderboard (January-September 2023 Rewards) and the release of BedWars, maintenance will be performed on the public facing leaderboard service.
Leaderboards are separate from in-game statistics, which will continue to function as normal. This only affects the leaderboards as shown with the in-game command, the leaderboard views on our website, and the leaderboards returned through the API.
Once maintenance finishes, leaderboards will re-synchronize with in-game statistics.
We're excited to announce that BedWars will be released on the 29th of March!
Double XP has been enabled in Treasure Wars, and will remain active until the release of BedWars.
Check out our blog post for details: https://playhive.com/2024/03/15/bed-wars-release-date/
To resolve a stability issue, all regions will be down for maintenance today, March 3rd.
This maintenance is expected to last less than 30 minutes.
It's time to play a brand new DeathRun map: Steampunk! This is the third and final DeathRun map from this set (Tokai, Flora, and Steampunk).
Steampunk introduces some brand new traps. We hope you enjoy them!
As always, if you have feedback or find any bugs, let us know on our Discord server!
Developer note: We really hope you've enjoyed this set of maps and we hope to bring more high quality DeathRun maps to you in the future.
It's time to take trip to Italy and explore Survival Games' newest map, Vista!
In addition to Vista, we've also made the following Quality of Life changes, based on community feedback and suggestions:
New Feature
Changes and Improvements
Hop to it! The Hopper costume can now be purchased from the Quest Store.
Our first 4 purchasable Back Blings are available now! This new type of cosmetic, worn in the chestplate slot, adds a whole new dimension to your Hive customization. Back Blings are usable in hubs, game lobbies, and a select number of games in the near future.
Back Blings share their rarity, and as such pricing structure, with Hats. We're slowly renaming Hat Tokens to Accessory Tokens: starting today, you can use these Tokens to gift both Hats and Back Blings. Until this change has fully rolled out, the term Hat Token will remain visible in some places.
So whether you choose to grab some wings, carry around a whole solar system, or keep it simple but cute with a bear... there's something for everyone, with lots more coming soon.
A new DeathRun map is now available to play: Flora. This is the second of three brand new maps, with the third on the way soon.
As always, if you have feedback or find any bugs, let us know on our Discord server!
Developer note: DeathRun maps are done by our level design team and require little developer input. These maps do not affect progress on upcoming updates to SkyWars, or games such as BedWars.
Fast-following from Hats, Back Blings are now also global unlocks! You can now access them with /backbling, use them in game lobbies, and interact with them like any other global unlock. Purchasable Back Blings will become available in the near future. In a future update, Back Blings will be wearable during gameplay in select games.
Starting today, we're running a limited test with improved locker search: some players will see unowned, but available for purchase, global unlocks when searching their locker. Unowned unlocks are clearly marked as such. Players with access to this feature can opt-out using a new toggle in /toggles.
We've also added support for an upcoming version of Minecraft: 1.20.70.
