"Half-Disconnection" Bug

We are actively investigating the issue where players become "half disconnected" - players still receive chat and can see others move, but can't interact with the server themselves.

We will post an update once we've deployed a fix.

Treasure Wars Content Update

It's time for a new content update to Treasure Wars, bringing new unlocks, new features, and new maps!

Gameplay

25 New Levels

We've increased the level cap from 50 to 75.

  • New unlock category: Final Kill Phrase
  • 9 new treasures
  • 5 new bridge builders
  • 4 new hub titles
  • 3 new avatars
  • 1 new costume

New Item: Golden Apples

Golden Apples are now available from the merchant! Hurry though, as he only has a limited stock per game. First come, first serve.

Summoner Sharing

Gold summoners now share equally between nearby players, ensuring everyone gets their fair share!

Minimum Play Height

We've heard your concerns about out-of-bounds campers. All maps now have a minimum play height. Being below this height for too long will result in damage, and ultimately, death.

Improved Messaging

  • Treasure breaks are now announced in chat
  • Final kills are now announced in chat

New Maps

  • Solo: Library
  • Duos: Fairy Garden
  • Trios/Squads: Cyberspace
  • Trios/Squads: Pirates
  • Mega: Sakura

If you find any bugs, or have feedback for this update, please head to our forums.

A hotfix for a hotfix: Performance Improvements

We have made the following changes to improve FPS on the most recent Minecraft hotfix:

  • Character Creator skins are now disabled by default in hubs. Want to see them anyway? Use the /toggleperformance command
  • Character Creator skins are disabled for Nintendo Switch players on all hubs and games

We will revert the above changes if and when Minecraft resolves the core performance issues with Chracter Creator skins.

Asia Region Update

We are testing a new datacenter for our Asia region. Our goal is to improve stability, especially at peak times.

Traffic is automatically sent to the new network. The direct-connect IP is as follows:

Minecraft Update (Hotfix) Performance

We're aware of bad client performance/FPS since the latest Minecraft update/hotfix. Here's what we're doing about it:

  • We're fully disabling Character Creator skins on Nintendo Switch. These skins are causing skin rendering to fully halt, turning everything including our NPC's into Steve skins.
  • We're adding a toggle for all other platforms to enable/disable receiving Character Creator skins. Using this toggle will improve client performance / FPS.
  • We're providing Microsoft with feedback on these regressions and will push for a future hotfix to resolve these issues. We also urge the community to let Minecraft know these issues are negatively impacting their Minecraft experience.

We will publish another post once we've rolled out the above changes.

Minecraft Hotfix 1.14.60

Mojang has released Minecraft Hotfix 1.14.60. Please note the following changes:

  • Custom Geometry is now blocked in multiplayer session (does NOT affect Hive costumes - read more HERE)
  • You won't be able to see Character Creator skins from players not on this hotfix.
  • Character Creator skins may load slower - we expect this to be resolved in a future update

We are following Microsoft policy and recommendations regarding custom geometry and player safety. These changes are not up for debate with Hive staff. Yelling at our volunteer staff will have no impact.

Easter Update: Egg Hunt and Ground Wars game

Merry Eggmas! Grab a free costume by finishing the Egg Hunt, and battle for map control on Ground Wars.

Egg Hunt

Find all 12 eggs and obtain the free (2020 Easter Exclusive) costume!

Ground Wars

Snow Wars is back! However, the snow is gone, so we borrowed some eggs from the Easter Bunny. There's also 3 brand new maps to play on!

Fight for control over the map by gaining territory with each egg 'kill'. Protect yourself and your teammates by building defensive structures. Take control over the whole map to win!

Ground Wars is a limited time mode - however, we expect it to stick around until at least the end of the Summer. We'll evaluate this over time based on it's player count.

Animal Bundle

Coming Soon :tm:
