Changelog

The automatic joining of the hub that contains the most number of your online friends, a feature that existed before the release of the Ultimate rank, has returned!

Regular players will auto join hubs up to 60 players, Plus members up to 70, and Ultimate up to 80. This is subject to change based on community feedback.

A new Social toggle, Join Friends' Hubs, has been added to opt-out of this. This toggle is slowly rolling out and may not be available on all regions yet.

Minecraft Bedrock 26.20, releasing today, introduces a native Party System to Minecraft, in Beta status.

Currently, support and integration between The Hive and the native Minecraft parties is very basic: you’ll be able to see and follow the party leader into The Hive, but without features such as game and hub auto-switching. If your region is different than that of the party leader, you’ll connect to your own region, not that of the leader.

We intend to support basic auto creation of Hive parties based on your game party in the near future, which will enable server-side party auto follow.

As the game party system expands in future Minecraft game updates, we’ll fully integrate with the system for the best experience. For now, we suggest utilizing the Hive (server-side) party system to access all features.

You can now claim a weekly FREE XP Booster from the Hive Store UI! Simply navigate to it using the /store command, or interact with the Store NPC to the left of Hub spawn. Find this and other free items in the FREE tab.

You can claim a new booster once a week, starting each Monday at midnight UTC. When a new claim is available, or if you have other unclaimed free offers, the Store NPC in Hubs will show this in its tagline. You must claim it within each week, unclaimed ones do not stack.

Activate your booster using the /booster command.

We are looking to add additional recurring free items to this tab and are open to feedback!
