The Hive is a Minecraft server full of minigames. Instead of one big world, you jump into quick rounds of different games and play against other people, solo or in teams. It’s one of Minecraft’s Featured Servers, so it’s built right into the game and you don’t need to download anything extra.

The games
BedWars Season 5
In BedWars, each player or team spawns on an island with a bed that allows respawning until destroyed. The aim is to be the last player standing by defending the bed and eliminating others.
Murder Mystery
In Murder Mystery, players are assigned as Murderer, Sheriff, or Innocent. The Murderer aims to eliminate everyone, while the Sheriff and Innocents must work together to survive and stop the Murderer before time runs out.
Capture the Flag
You probably already know Capture the Flag, but in case you don’t, here’s a quick summary. Capture the Flag is a battle between the Red and Blue teams, who compete to capture the most flags from the other team’s base before time runs out.
Hide N Seek
Hide N Seek is a popular close-call hiding game. You have to hide from the hunter, but beware: if you’re caught, you join the hunters to find the rest of the hiders. The last people standing when the timer runs out are the winners!
Build Battle
In Build Battle, players have limited time to build something that represents the chosen theme within their plots. Afterward, all builds are displayed for voting, and the highest-rated creation wins.
SkyWars
In SkyWars, players compete solo or in teams to eliminate all others. Mining ores and looting chests, including the Mystery Chest, provides weapons, tools, and items to aid in survival.
Block Drop
In Block Drop, players spawn on a multi-layered platform where blocks decay as they are stepped on. The objective is to avoid falling into the void and be the last player standing.
The Bridge
In The Bridge, players or teams start on opposite sides of a one-block-wide bridge, aiming to reach the opponent’s goal. The first to score 3 goals wins the game.
Deathrun
In Deathrun, players are split into Runners and Deaths, with Runners aiming to reach the finish line while avoiding traps. Deaths activate traps to prevent Runners from completing the course.
