News & Updates 📰
Hive-o-ween is back, and it’s spookier than ever! There’s a lot happening across The Hive this season, so if you’ve missed a trick (or treat), don’t worry! We’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know!
Who you gonna call? 👻
Something spooky is happening in the hub... Reports of strange, paranormal activity are spreading across the island!
To help keep everyone safe, every player will be equipped with a Ghost Detector. Keep it close - you never know when you might need it!
If you're feeling brave, use your Ghost Detector to trace the eerie signals drifting through the hub. Those daring enough to track down the ghosts haunting the island might just uncover a hidden reward! Will you be the one to solve the mystery?
Containment Breach ⚠️
Something strange is happening... The walls are humming, the static is growing louder... and the Anomaly Breach Ticket has emerged!
This mysterious ticket grants instant access to eerie, otherworldly cosmetics, including the spine-chilling Mothmare mount, the unsettling Anomaly pet, and the TV Terror hat. But that's not all! Unlock even more exclusive rewards by completing special quests!
The Reaper Rises Again 🪦
After last year’s… incident, our builders made sure the vault stayed firmly sealed this Hive-o-ween. Unfortunately, it looks like the hub’s growing paranormal energy had other plans!
The Reaper walks the maps of Murder Mystery once more, their presence heralded by cold air and silence. Collect the souls of fallen players to banish him once again, and you may uncover dark and valuable rewards for your efforts!
Blazes, and Breezes and Ghosts, oh my! 💥
Back by popular demand, MobGame is back, and three new mobs have joined the fight! Transform into the Blaze, Spider, and Breeze, each with unique abilities and movement styles.
Eliminate all ten mobs to claim victory and reach level 10 to unlock exclusive rewards, including an epic new hat!
And of course, it wouldn't be Hive-o-ween without everyone's favorite fruit-colored ghosts!
Ghost Invasion returns with a brand-new set of spooky cosmetics to earn. Level up to unlock exclusive hub titles, avatars, and a haunting new costume!
Beeday Celebrations 🎂
October 16th marked a major milestone - The Hive's 7th Beeday! Can you believe it's been 7 whole years since The Hive first opened its doors on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition?
To celebrate, everyone who logged in received the exclusive 7th Beeday Cake back bling - and it looks good enough to eat! We hope you were able to snag yours before it was all eaten up!
