Leaderboard maintenance

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.

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.

Scheduled Maintenance - February 23rd

The Hive will be down for scheduled maintenance starting at around 12:30PM UTC today, the 23rd of February, all regions will be unavailable.

This maintenance includes:

  • Back Blings are now global unlocks, allowing you to equip them using /backbling anywhere on the server, as well as wearing them in supported games and game lobbies.
  • Added support for an upcoming version of Minecraft.
  • Available to some players: searching your global locker now shows matching unowned (but purchasable) unlocks at the bottom. Unowned unlocks are clearly marked as such. Players with access to this feature can opt-out using a new toggle in /toggles.

Whilst we have no set end time for this maintenance, we do not expect the downtime to be excessively long. Because of this and the mid-day UTC timing, we will NOT be granting any streak savers as streaks will not be affected.

Scheduled Maintenance - 7th February

The Hive will be down for scheduled maintenance starting at 8am UTC on the 7th of February, all regions will be unavailable.

This maintenance will involve extensive software upgrades, and as such, is expected to last several hours. To ensure that you do not lose your login streak, all active players (those that have logged in within the last week) will receive a free streak saver during the maintenance.

There will be no public-facing updates as part of this maintenance. Whilst it is ongoing, we will post updates on our Discord server to keep you updated on our progress.

Thank you for your patience!

Global Maintenance - 03-04-2023

The Hive will be down for global maintenance today, April 3rd. During this time, all regions are unavailable.

During this time, we are making multiple backend and infrastructure changes. Because of this, we have no set ending time for this maintenance. We appreciate your patience and will be back online as soon as we can.

In addition to nonpublic facing changes, the following minor changes and improvements are releasing:

  • Added the /joinfriend (/jf) command
  • The current XP reward, from login streaks, now shows the correct number for streaks under 11 days
  • Fixed party invites revealing players appearing offline
  • Fixed various commands revealing player nicknames
  • The party invite command is now case-insensitive
  • Various error messages are now properly translated, rather than always being in English
  • Fixed the /party and /friend commands having the same "tab completions"/command suggestions, despite having different subcommands
  • Resolved a potential kick when modifying multiple preferences in BlockParty
  • Implemented a speculative fix, which should resolve Custom Server presets not loading at times
