We recommend you join in advance of the start, and stick around in the hub. Doors will CLOSE at event start; you won't be able to (re)join until the event has ended.
Look at The Hive's server message, or join the hub, for an up-to-date countdown to the start.
Hope to see you there!
Available now on The Hive server, claim your free Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Skin Pack! This pack comes with two free skins, usable anywhere within Minecraft.

Recently, players outside of the United States (or those with a custom language set) have been experiencing intermittent issues with the Featured Server list not loading.
To work around this issue, switch your client language to English - US. You will need to restart your client, and in extreme cases reinstall the game, to clear your cache.
Minecraft is aware of this issue and working on a solution.
Minecraft 1.17 (Caves and Cliffs: Part 1) releases June 8th. You'll be able to play The Hive on 1.17 on release day.
We are NOT removing support for any 1.16 version at this time. Upcoming minigames will require more recent versions of Minecraft; however, we will not require this for existing games.
Discord player reports now accept Replay ID's as evidence.
We have finished the infrastructure testing as mentioned in our initial announcement. As such, we will be retiring the Australia testing region this coming Monday, March 29th, near the end of the (Oceanic) day.
We appreciate the interest in the Australia region. However, we currently have no plans to permanently establish an Australia region. If this changes, we will post a future update.
Players in the Asia-Pacific region (East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania) may see some of their traffic redirected to Australia this coming week.
We are using this testing region to test and improve automated scaling and stability systems.
We have identified the root cause for the "Steve Glitch", which causes all entities to appear as Steve models.
We are rolling out fixes for this today.
