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

Skywars is the first game to get its own microhub, Sky Royale LTM is back, and 7 new Skywars maps are rolling out!

Skywars Microhub

The new Skywars microhub is the new home for all things Skywars! It's a place to access your in-game locker, create custom servers, and check out other players' stats. It's also a great place to meet other Skywars players.

Look out for more features coming to microhubs in a future update. Be sure to let us know what you'd like to see, by leaving a suggestion on our forums.

To enter the microhub, simply click on the Skywars NPC in the hub!

Sky Royale Returns

By popular demand, and for a limited time, Sky Royale LTM is back!

In this fast-paced 40-player mode, you'll need to quickly gather resources and get ready to fight! Make sure to head to the middle of the map before the outer islands explode...

This update regards our API, a programmatic way to access some of the Hive's data. It's mainly intended for a more technical audience. For more information about our API, check out our support site. 

As part of our upcoming microhub update, we've been improving the way specific data for games (levels, unlocks, et cetera) is stored and accessed internally. Thanks to these changes, we now also expose game metadata on the API. Currently, this is limited to level and prestige information, but we plan to expose locker- and unlock data in the future.

Find the new endpoint under /game/meta/{game}, or try it on the interactive documentation page.

All regions will be down for maintenance today, September 25th.

This maintenance includes preparations for an upcoming update, which is currently planned to be released this week.

Additionally, this maintenance includes a fix for the party "Invite All Players" button not working.

A minor content update has been released for The Bridge, adding three new maps:

• Techno: Zoid
• Techno: Diverge
• Techno: Tiered

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

Gravity now has eight brand-new maps for you to conquer!

Murder Mystery Balancing

Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback about the newly released Murder Mystery maps! As a result of this feedback, we have implemented the following tweaks and fixes:

• Added an additional teleporter and reduced the teleporter cooldown for murderers on Fairy Garden
• Decreased the price of the flood valves from 15 to 10 coins on Castle Town
• Fixed several out-of-map spots on Castle Town and Fairy Garden
• Fixed Backrooms anomalies

As always, be sure to leave us your feedback on our Discord server!

A new SkyWars Custom Server option is now available: Ore Drop Randomization.

This option allows you to control how ore drops are randomized between players.

All Random is the default option, in which all drops are fully random.

Equal Random (Player) gives all players the same random starting point, but the order in which you mine ore types matters. If two players mine the same ore types in a row, they get the same drops, but any deviation will change this. Use this setting to make the random more based on the player's actions, rather than pure luck.

Equal Random (Ore) gives all players the same random, regardless of the order they mine ores. For example, two players mining a sequence of diamond ores, iron ores and gold ores will receive the same drop, even if they mine them in different orders.

Please note that this update is deploying as this post releases, and might not yet be available in your custom server.
