Hive Games

Hive Games, also known as The Hive or Hive Minigames is a Minecraft Server owned by Youri Kersten and Ed Barlow, better known online as ClankStar and b0xx3r with the help of Matt, better known online as JollyajaX. They used to have a Java Server called Hive Java.
==History==
 Note: The Staff Roster and Partner Roster is outdated
===Java===
====Pre-Hive====
ClankStar was a Former Developer for a Minecraft Java Server called MCSG and he was thinking of a new Gamemode called Trouble in Mineville or also known as TIMV. Since MCSG was a Survival Games Minecraft Server, ClankStar thought that TIMV had a lot of potential, so is Vareide, a Developer for MCSG. soon after, they created the TIMV gamemode server with the assistance of Forairan. and it was officially released on October 18th, 2012.
At the same time, b0xx3r and JollyajaX partnered to create a gamemode server called The Herobrine.
Just by chance, Minecon 2012 is about to be held in Paris. and also by chance, ClankStar and JollyajaX met at the convention and began to chat together. Soon afterwards, BungeeCord launched. Both parties were interested of merging TIMV and the Herobrine together to build a large Network for Minigames and that network was the Hive.
====2013====
The TIMV Server and The Herobrine Server Merge were announced on February 17th and the server was named Hive and staff of both TIMV and the Herobrine Servers were soon merged on Hive Java. The forums that purposed for the Herobrine were created at the same month. and 2 short days later, The Hive Java were released to thousands of people. 
The launch didnt go quite well as smoothly as Hive didnt just open with TIMV and The Herobrine. They also launched with Survival Games.
After their feud with MCSG, they are mostly smooth sailing for Hive Java and they began to develop on the Server even more. A new hub was added in April 12th, Mod Applications opened at the end of the month and they launched their channel, Hive Games on the middle of May but the channel was created in March, 21st.
However, July started their first wave of new Minigames. Setting a new trend throughout the years. This wave would bring in the new Arcade mode releasing with Hide and Seek and planning to add three more minigames over the coming weeks. One in the Chamber was added on July 12th and Splegg was added the night after. Paintball was planned to come out by the end of the week but by July 25th, there was no news on its release leaving Arcade with just three out of the four modes promised.
Mod Applications were opened on August 29th and November 20th and the forums got an update in the middle of October. 
New wave of Minigames a little bit smaller this time around. December 6th Saw the release of cranked, a sucessor of Paintball. Two weeks later, Cowboys and Indians was added to the server.
====2014====
2014 was a slower year for Hive Java, they had all the staff they needed leading for the Mod Applications to be closed on February 6th.
And the team had spend most of their time to make a new gamemode called Block Party. It wasn't anything revolutionary as it was similar on a popular minigame, Colour Shuffle. However, it has a twist that it has custom songs that have their license held by Blue Monkey. It was a good idea but Players got bored already and the gamemode already fallen behind. They continued doing development on the server.
They added the Friends System on May 29th.
Cosmetics were added at the lobbies on May 15th and their Merch were released on July 10th. However, week later disaster structed. on July 17th, Minecraft EULA structed on Hive Java Server, forcing them to relinquish certain parts of their store or face to be shut down worldwide. Luckily for them, they didn't have pay to win so they had a few small changes.
The new heroes mode for SG would be added on October 11th, causing moderator applications to open again about two weeks later.
December 22nd, Hive Java released Deathrun, a gamemode that was ported to a server.
====2015====
2015 was the biggest year of Hive Java. they had a new Hub added in January in almost 2 years.
In February 1st, they released an updated version of Arcade called Laboratory. since of the Laboratory's Launch, they reopened Applications again in late March. 
Sometime in 2015, they released a blockified version of Pictionary and Scribble.io.
They would release a Lucky Blocks Skywars Minigame. Just two months later, tons of new hubs added and relaunched Arcade, bringing back Cranked and adding Electric Floor, Slaparoo and Music Masters.
====2016====
On 2016, they have the Cosmetics all sorted out and they can only add Minigames instead. so, they did. 
Gravity was added on February 7th and Restaurant Rush was added three weeks later. 
Sky Giants was released on June 12th and the first ever duels Minigame was added called Splegg Duels. 
====2017====
Sploof was added on January 7th along with a new Hub.
Battery Dash was added in late February.
Murder in Mineville was added in the middle of March.
The website got a new look after 4 years.
Bedwars was added when they reached 9 Million Unique Players.
Ever since the release of Bedwars, Hive Java went quiet. There was no content from late May to late November.
But on the next announcement on November 19th, Hive Bedrock was announced on Minecon Earth 2017.
Ever since Bedrock have released, there was limited content on Hive Java like seasonal events, shuffle mode for Arcade and two new Minigames on Arcade, Instagib and Deathdrop.
====2021 and Shutdown====
On January 12th, the Hive Java Staff had announced that they will be shutting down in the next 3 months.
But on February 21st, they announced that they will do a full code rewrite of the Server as its preparation for the open source versions of TIMV and lite version of their minigame framework that will be released on GitHub for the next couple of months or years, as well as the removal of Cowboys and Indians, Sky Giants, Murder In Mineville and The Herobrine. 
So on April 15th, Hive Java has shut down after 8 years of running. They continued their content creation on Bedrock Edition.
