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.

Cosmic Clash has landed! Get ready to defend your core in this no-build, limited-time mode.
It's BedWars... in space! Defend your core against 3 rival teams, traverse the void with light bridges, and wield powerful blasters to claim victory in this cosmic showdown.
For full details about this game mode, check out our blog post.
New Season Challenges
Pew Pew: Shoot the blaster 500 times in Cosmic Clash
Walking On Sunshine: Activate 50 light bridges in Cosmic Clash
TO THE CORE!: Deal 1000 damage to cores in Cosmic Clash
Decoy Player Improvements
Holding sneak while placing a decoy will result in the decoy sneaking
Interacting (right-clicking) on one of your decoys will now equip that item
A balancing patch is on the way! Got feedback? We want to hear it! Be sure to fill out the BedWars feedback form.
Cosmetics tied to season ticket challenges that can no longer be completed have now been awarded to players. In order to obtain these items, please join a game of BedWars.
Developer note: We understand that this LTM is a bit different, and as such, might feel unbalanced as we work through balancing and gameplay changes. We try to use LTM’s as a way to test new ideas, see how they play, and what you think of them. So don’t feel bad if this LTM isn’t for you! We’ve also recently started work on a new, highly requested LTM: BedWars Duels. We hope to get that to you sometime during Season 4.
