Despite 1.17 having been released almost 6 months ago, up until now, The Hive has continued to allow players to play on some 1.16 versions of Minecraft.

Whilst we understand that a small number of players have continued to use 1.16 in order to avoid bugs that have been introduced in some of the more recent versions of Minecraft, continuing to support these older versions would leave us unable to use any of the new features that the newer versions of Minecraft bring.

The Hive will be dropping support for 1.16 versions of Minecraft on or after the 3rd of December.

From this point onwards, you will need to update to a 1.17 version to be able to join The Hive.
