Hot Drops are here, and itβs your chance to get your hands on exclusive, limited-edition cosmetics!
Mark your calendars! The first Hot Drop will take place on Wednesday, July 22nd at 6pm UTC, featuring the exclusive Starfire Crown Hat.
Unsure what time this is in your timezone? Click here to view a countdown.
The Starfire Crown is a Mythic hat, and the first hat ever to feature particles - visible in hubs and in-game!

The Starfire Crown will cost 5 Gift Tokens, and a total of 500 will be available.
We expect this Hot Drop to sell out quickly! If you intend to purchase the Starfire Crown, we recommend stocking up on Gift Tokens in advance.
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.
