Minecraft Multiplayer on PS4 and PS5 is experiencing an (partial) outage. This is outside of our control. We expect this to be resolved soon. You may not be able to join (crossplay) multiplayer and servers during this time.
We will soon be reverting the change that removed 1.16.40 support from The Hive.
To bring you the best possible experience, we use modern features that require recent client versions. Only supporting the most recent client allows us to keep our server light and easily maintainable, which results in a better experience (less lag, so to say).
However, it is clear that updates 1.16.100 and 1.16.200 have multiple issues that prevent a portion of our players from enjoying Minecraft. We suggest that players affected by issues in these versions communicate these issues to Mojang, who are able to resolve them. Good ways of doing this is reporting and upvoting bugs on MoJira and leaving feedback on the Minecraft feedback website. The Hive always advocates for the best experience for our players, but it's important you make your voice heard to Mojang directly.
We must note that this is a temporary extension to the 1.16.40 support. Future Minecraft versions will introduce complex changes that will render 1.16.40 support unmaintainable.
The Survival Games update uses features only available in 1.16.100 and up and will not be playable by those on 1.16.40.
This is the first set of changes to the new Survival Games update, currently in preview. We're constantly reading player feedback and more changes will come if required.
Developer note: We understand that bow/arrow mechanics can feel overpowered. We hope we can have a deeper dive into the damage bows do in the future.
Additionally, loot balance is a very tough thing to get just right. We're constantly reviewing game statistics and community feedback. We will make further changes until it feels exactly right.
This is an experimental change and will be changing regularly based on player feedback.
Developer note: We've seen a lot of discussion from the community about hunger mechanics. We agree that hunger is currently a pointless mechanic, and we are starting to change that with this update. Our hopes are these changes will stop infinite running, and provide more of a use for food.
Developer note: We've seen an increase of players deliberately running in to the void to stop their killer getting loot. We understand this can be frustrating in such a loot-heavy game. We hope this update will fix this.
The following update is now live on SkyWars:
As always, this change is experimental pending community feedback.
Introducing a brand new SkyWars Special Block: Crumbling Cobblestone!
Crumbling Cobblestone is a building & bridging block that self-breaks after two seconds. It can be found in regular chests and Resource (Iron) Ores.
Crumbling Cobblestone is an experimental change - we may decide to change it based on community feedback.
Based on community feedback, we've made the following additional changes to SkyWars:
We will continue to monitor the balancing of these changes, and where needed, make additional adjustments.
The information below is out of date, please read the follow up changes HERE.

NOTE: This will continue to be balanced, do not assume this is the final implementation.
It was worth the wait... Battle Beans, available now in the Quest Store.
