Hive-o-ween 2024 🎃

Double, Double, Toil and Trouble

A huge cauldron has appeared in the hub... We're not quite sure how it got here or who put it there, but our builders reportedly heard cackling while they were putting up decorations...

Perhaps you could search for some ingredients and create your own concoction—who knows what you could brew?!

There have been reports of some peculiar items appearing around the hub and microhubs, be sure to check them out on your hunt for ingredients!

Reaping the Lost

It seems history has repeated itself! While trying to access the high-security vault where our Hive-o-ween maps are stored, our builders somehow managed to release a Reaper into Murder Mystery once again.

It’s up to you to collect the souls of fallen players and send him back to where he belongs. Who knows, your efforts might just be rewarded with something mysterious and valuable...

Start your journey by joining a Murder Mystery game!

Ghost Invasion

As is tradition, everyone's favorite fruit-colored ghosts are back! Ghost Invasion has returned once again, and with it comes an all-new collection of cosmetics for you to unlock!


Ghost Invasion is an infection-style game where the ghosts must infect the humans. Once all humans are infected, or the ghosts have run out of respawns (100), the game is over.

Unlocks

  • 6 Ghost Characters
  • 5 Ghost Pop Effects
  • 4 Zapper Ray Trails
  • 4 NEW Halloween Hub Titles
  • 5 NEW Halloween Avatars
  • 1 NEW Exclusive Costume

And...

  • Spookified game lobbies (coming soon) and Halloween-themed maps, including community favorite Witch School (Murder Mystery), and 5 BedWars maps
  • Over 100 spooky Just Build themes

Winterfest: 12 Days of Gifting

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.

Egg Hunt Event

The Egg Bunny has hopped in and hidden colorful eggs throughout the hub! Don't miss your chance to collect them all and earn the exclusive Nibbles costume reward.

Act fast, though - this limited time event ends on Friday, April 14th.

Lunar New Year 🐰

It's time to celebrate Lunar New Year, and ring in the year of the rabbit!

Be sure to join The Hive to explore the beautiful Lunar hub, and take in the festive atmosphere!

Look out for special Zodiac banners hidden around the hub! Each banner depicts one of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Players that find all 12 will receive an exclusive Lunar reward!

To bring an end to this year's new year celebrations, beautiful lanterns will light up the sky. Be sure to join to see the Lantern Festival on the 5th of February, and experience the spectacle for yourself.

Developer Note: This year we have decided to bring previous Lunar New Year content back, with a brand new reward, to allow us to focus on Treasure Wars: Seasons, and other exciting projects.
