Hypixel

Hypixel, also known as the Hypixel Network, is a Minecraft server released on April 13, 2013, by Simon "Hypixel" Collins-Laflamme and Philippe Touchette. Hypixel is available only on the Java Edition of Minecraft. Hypixel is considered to be the largest currently active Minecraft server, with an average of 40,000 players online as of 2024. 

The server focuses on "mini-games", which are games that players can play in the server. The most popular ones are Skyblock, Skywars, and Bedwars. The current most active mini-game is Skyblock, with just about 20,000 players on average. There are a total of nearly 70 mini-games on Hypixel. Out of these, 19 are found in the "Arcade" category.

 Gameplay 
Hypixel is a Minecraft server that can be accessed from the game's multiplayer screen. Players can choose over 60 game modes to play, which involve combat (e.g. Skywars, Hardcore Survival), teamwork (e.g. Wool Walls), or abstract skill (e.g. Turbo Kart Racers, similar to Mario Kart). 

Skyblock, the server's most popular game mode, is similar to survival Minecraft, but takes places on multiple 'islands' in the sky. Having no set goal, players usually focus on improving their skills, slaying monsters, and fighting strong bosses.

 Community 
Hypixel is known for being the largest Minecraft server in the game's history. To help with the large player base, Hypixel hires many administrators and helpers to aid newcomers, punish rule-breakers, and keep the server friendly and fair. The server is also known for having a wide range of game modes, such as Bedwars, Skywars, and Survival Games. Games can be played with friends or other players using a party system.
