Improved replay storage durations

As part of an upcoming update to Replay Pass, we've both simplified and improved the duration that replays are stored:

  • Games played without Replay Pass holders, VIPs or staff are now stored for 30 days, from 7
  • Games played with Replay Pass holders, VIPs or staff are now stored for 180 days, from 30

This change does not retroactively apply: games played before the updated storage durations will expire based on the old schedule.

Previously, games with VIP and/or staff would be indefinitely stored: due to low usage of very old replays, and technical challenges that came up from supporting these replays, we've aligned this with the new 180 days period.

Version Support Update

The Hive now supports Minecraft version 1.21 ("Tricky Trials"), which releases June 13th.

We are removing support for the following versions, as future Hive updates require features/changes not available in these versions:

  • 1.20.50/1.20.51
  • 1.20.60/1.20.62

For the best experience, we recommend playing on the most recent version, which is currently 1.20.81.
