Welcome to our updates website! Come back regularly to find the latest Hive updates.

Winterfest is upon us, and we're kicking off the celebrations with the return of 12 Days of Gifting!

Every day until December 25th, a new surprise will be waiting for you under the Winterfest tree. Make sure to log in daily and unwrap your special gift! Remember, each gift is a one-day wonder – available for 24 hours only. Once a gift disappears, it's a wrap!

But that's not all! In the coming days, you'll see the return of festive maps, seasonal cosmetics, and a hub hunt filled with wintery goodness!

Happy Holidays!

Developer note: Winterfest is intentionally lighter this year as we continue our focus on permanent content. We have many great things on the way, including the much anticipated BedWars minigame. We hope to share more with you soon, but in the meantime, we hope you're having a wonderful holiday season.

We've teamed up with Makeship again to create an awesome, limited-edition Endolotl plushie!

Thanks to the amazing response to our most popular bundle ever, we are extending the sale of our Block Friday 2023 bundle. It will be available until end-of-day of Friday, the 1st of December (midnight) in the UTC timezone.

For the avoidance of doubt, please refer to this countdown timer.

Gifts purchased before this time will be usable forever, but you won't be able to purchase the bundle or new gifts after this time. The exclusive items included in the bundle will never be purchasable again.

The Block Friday bundle, our best deal EVER, is available NOW for a limited time!

For just 990 Minecoins, this incredible bundle includes all of the following items:

• EXCLUSIVE Planet Pet
• EXCLUSIVE Helicopter Mount
• EXCLUSIVE Crown Hat
• 1x Replay Cinema Pass
• 3x Costume Gifts

The bundle will only be available for a limited time. Once gone, the exclusive cosmetics will never be available again!

This bundle can also be gifted to other players. You can purchase bundle gifts through the /gift menu.

The second wave of new Capture The Flag maps has been deployed to all regions.

New Maps

• Lunala
• Prismaris
• Mall

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that allowed players to avoid taking damage when stood inside an interactable (teleporter, launchpad, spring)

Developer Note: We hope you've been enjoying the new maps! We also have plans to bring a content update to CTF in the future, adding more levels and cosmetics.

As always, if you have feedback or find any bugs, let us know on our Discord server!

Have you been saving up your XP? The Enchanter costume can now be purchased from the Quest Store! 

A new SkyWars version is being deployed to all regions. This update adds a custom server option to enable a new projectile physics experiment.

Developer Note

Our projectile physics have always felt a little off. This update brings our projectiles more in line with vanilla Minecraft.

This should make projectiles feel a lot better, including removing the weird arc that Hive projectiles have when shooting upward.

We want your thoughts on these changes, so we have made this a custom server option. Anyone who plays a game with this setting enabled will be sent a Mailbot survey. So, please let us know your thoughts via that survey or on our Discord.

These changes do not indicate future changes; we only want to gauge the community's feelings/feedback surrounding projectiles.

A new map content update is deploying to Capture The Flag, adding 3 new maps and enabling the improved map selection modal.

New Maps

• Prosperity
• Pirate's Paradise
• Valley

Developer Note: We're thrilled to introduce our latest Capture The Flag maps! Additionally, we're currently developing at least three more CTF maps and aim to release them in the near future.

As always, if you have feedback or find any bugs, let us know on our Discord server!
