We can’t wait to welcome you to the wonderful of Horizons.

Hub Cosmetics Menu: Favoriting and Home tab improvements

Thank you for all the feedback regarding the new Hub Cosmetics menu! We’ve made additional improvements based on community feedback:

  • You can now favorite cosmetics. Favorited cosmetics can be viewed and equipped from both the new Favorites screen, and from the Home tab in each category.

  • The Home tab will now show all your Owned cosmetics:

    • Wishlisted and NEW cosmetics appear first

    • All your favorited cosmetics in a category will appear second

    • At most 4 unowned cosmetics will show third

    • The remainder of your owned cosmetics will show last

  • We’ve made various performance improvements, mainly noticeable when opening a tab with a lot of cosmetics

  • You can now toggle your Wishlist Privacy directly from the My Wishlist screen

Hub Cosmetics Visual Overhaul, and Cosmetic Wishlisting!

Our initial redesign of the Hub Cosmetics is now live! With it, we’re also introducing wishlisting: simply mark a cosmetic with the heart, and it’ll save it to your wishlist.

You can easily view your wishlisted items from the new menu for future reference. To view the wishlists of your friends, check the new Friends’ Wishlists button on the Gifting menu, or punch them with the gifting item in the hub (it doesn’t hurt them, trust us).

We’ll keep expanding this functionality over time, including a future visual update to the gifting menu itself. We suggest filling up your wishlist when you can: over the Block Friday and Christmas periods, it might just get you some freebies - more on this later!

By default, your wishlist is visible to your friends only. You can change this in /settings under the new Social setting, and change it to Public or Private instead.

We’d love your feedback on the new menu and the wishlist system - either as a comment on this update, or as a bigger suggestion on our Forums!

Hive-o-ween Ending Soon

Spooky season is almost over, and Hive-o-ween festivities will end on Friday, 6th November.

If you haven't yet found all of the ghosts in the hub, reached the maximum level in Ghost Invasion and Mob Game, or collected 100 souls for the Reaper in Murder Mystery, now is your last chance to do so!

As always, the cosmetics unlocked by taking part in Hive-o-ween events and games will never be available again!

feature

New Player Setting: Default join region

Scientists reveal the new Hive player setting! You can now set your default region without needing to add a special server entry, across all platforms.

Run /settings to access your Hive settings, select Experience, and modify your Region. All your future joins will automatically join that region (except for when a region is unavailable for maintenance).

For most players, we suggest keeping this set to the default Automatic option. However, if your automatic region isn’t the best for you, or if you simply prefer a different default region, this setting is for you!

This setting only works on the most recent 2 Minecraft versions. We’ve recently changed our server IPs, see our support website for the most up to date information.

🔥 Hot Drop: Chroma Crown

The next Hot Drop will take place on Saturday, October 31st and feature the Chroma Crown!

The Chroma Crown will be the final cosmetic in the crown collection, and it's going out in style with a trail of colour-changing rainbow particles!

The Hive community is worldwide, so to give players in every time zone the chance to obtain the Chroma Crown, there will be three Hot Drops at different times. In each one, a third of the total stock will be available.

  • Total Available: 1,500 (500 × 3)

  • Price: 5 Gift Tokens

  • Release Times:

    • Saturday, October 31st @ 10am UTC

    • Saturday, October 31st @ 6pm UTC

    • Sunday, November 1st @ 2am UTC

🔥 What are Hot Drops?

Hot Drops are special events where players can purchase exclusive cosmetics. Each Hot Drop features a fixed quantity of a single item; once the item sells out, the event ends, and the item will never be available again.

Unlike other items sold on The Hive, items sold in Hot Drops can currently only be purchased with Gift Tokens and cannot be purchased with Minecoins.

Hot Drops take place in the main hub and microhubs (excluding Parkour Worlds).

Detailed information about Hot Drops can be found in this article.

Grim Business

You’d think we’d have this under control by now... We reinforced the vault, double-checked the locks, but the Reaper still managed to find a way through.

He’s stalking Murder Mystery once again, with cold air and silence following in his wake. Collect the souls of the fallen to drive him off, and you might find a valuable reward waiting for you.

The Usual Suspects

Hive-o-ween wouldn’t feel right without everyone’s favourite fruit-coloured ghosts, and as always, they're back!

Ghost Invasion returns with a fresh set of spooky cosmetics up for grabs. Level up to unlock exclusive hub titles, avatars and a spooky new costume.

Mob Madness

Back by popular demand, MobGame has returned!

Morph into your favorite Minecraft mobs and harness their powers to survive. Every player begins as the same mob and must eliminate all ten to claim victory.

Reach level 10 and unlock exclusive hub titles, avatars, and an epic new hat!

Out of the Crypt

All of your favourite Hive-o-ween maps are back, and they’re as eerie as ever!

Spooky themes have also returned to Build Battle, and you can put your building skills to the test with some seasonal builds in Speed Builders.

Developer note: You may notice Hive-o-ween is a little lighter this year. This has enabled our team to focus on Skyblock: Horizons, which we hope to share more about soon!
