This is for technical users only, mainly for those that make use of our API. If you don't know what that is - this post isn't for you!

Going forward, we will publish changelogs and other updates regarding our API on the new PlayHive API Updates website. For API users, this has an announcement regarding upcoming opt-in only changes to hub titles.

We're excited to announce that this year, we'll be launching a brand new Bedrock Featured Server: a persistent SkyBlock/MMO. Read all about it on our main website.

As we prepare for the Treasure Wars special leaderboard (January-September 2023 Rewards) and the release of BedWars, maintenance will be performed on the public facing leaderboard service.

Leaderboards are separate from in-game statistics, which will continue to function as normal. This only affects the leaderboards as shown with the in-game command, the leaderboard views on our website, and the leaderboards returned through the API.

Once maintenance finishes, leaderboards will re-synchronize with in-game statistics.

We're excited to announce that BedWars will be released on the 29th of March!

Double XP has been enabled in Treasure Wars, and will remain active until the release of BedWars.

Check out our blog post for details: https://playhive.com/2024/03/15/bed-wars-release-date/

To resolve a stability issue, all regions will be down for maintenance today, March 3rd.

This maintenance is expected to last less than 30 minutes.
