bedwars
It's BedWars... but this time it's personal! Early access is now available for Hive+ and Ultimate members and will run for 24 hours. The mode will open to all players once this period ends.
Are you ready to duel? Get ready to face off against a single rival in the ultimate BedWars showdown. Protect your bed at all costs, and outbuild, outwit, and outplay your opponent to claim the ultimate bragging rights!
BedWars: Duels launches with two modes, Solos and Duos, and six familiar maps:
Aero
Atlantis
Castle
Cityscape
Library
Mushroom
Hive+ and Ultimate members can enjoy 24 hours of early access, after which the mode will be available to all players.
Developer note: On launch, BedWars: Duels mirrors the gameplay of the regular BedWars modes. We’d love to hear your thoughts about changes you’d like to see to make Duels unique. If you have ideas, be sure to share them by filling out the BedWars feedback form!
We know some of you will be disappointed to see Cosmic Clash vaulted. LTMs give us the space to experiment with new ideas, and while this one didn't find the audience we hoped for, it may return in some form in the future.
Players will be automatically awarded the challenge medals for any Cosmic Clash challenges that they started but did not complete over the coming days.

As we continue making improvements to our international network setups, we are trialling two Local Zones in India (Mumbai) and Australia (Sydney), respectively.
Players in India, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines will join The Hive network using these local zones. We are hopeful that players in these areas will see improved latency (ping) when playing on The Hive.
We will be monitoring the player impact from this change and may add/remove/modify local zones at any time without notice.
To be clear, we have not added any new regions. These changes just mean that players in these areas may see improved latency (ping) when playing on The Hive.
