The Hive is a Minecraft Featured Server on the Bedrock Edition platform. It currently has the highest concurrent player count for Bedrock in history (61,385 as of 2021).[*citation needed*] There are currently 7 games, 2 seasonal games and 1 LTM (Limited Time Mode) game. The Hive also had a server on Java Edition, but was closed on April 15, 2021 due to limited resources, and lack of players.

## Games

### Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek is one of the three games originally launched on Hive's release. One player is randomly selected as a seeker and the rest are hiders. The hiders must hide as a block from the seekers. Once they have been found they become a seeker.

### Death Run

Death Run was originally made by The Hive on Java Edition but was ported over to Bedrock Edition for release. Two players are randomly chosen as a “death” and they must set off traps in order to kill players who are running through a course filled with parkour and traps.

### Treasure Wars

Treasure Wars is the Hive's version of popular minigame BedWars. Players can either play solo (8 teams of 1), duos (8 teams of 2), trios (4 teams of 3), squads (4 teams of 4), or mega (2 teams of 6-12, depending on amount of players). Players must destroy other team's treasures to stop them from respawning and kill them to win the game.

### Murder Mystery

One player is chosen as the murderer (equipped with a throwable weapon and iron sword) and must kill all the players in the game. One player is also chosen as the sheriff (equipped with a bow called a Zapper) and must kill the murderer. The remaining players are innocents and must collect 10 coins around the map in order to get a single-shot zapper to kill the murderer.

### Survival Games

Survival Games is a modern take on the Hive's Java Edition Survival Games. 24 players enter the game and must loot chests around the map to get weapons. When four players are left (or when the timer runs out), players are teleported to a deathmatch arena. Players can find cache cows (3 per game) and supply crates around the map in order to get better loot.

### Just Build

Just Build is a fast-paced building game where players can either build solo or as a duo. They have five minutes (10 minutes in Duos Extended) to construct a build related to a randomly chosen theme. Once the timer is up, everyone votes on the other teams builds. The team with the highest voting score wins. The 4 versions are Solo, Solo Extended, Duos and Duos Extended

### Lucky Ores

Lucky Ores is the Hive's newest game and offers a unique take on the popular SkyWars minigame. Players must mine ores around the map in order to get better loot. Those ores are not normal ores – they drop special items according to the ore type, for example, mining redstone ore gives you an extra heart.. There is a Mystery Chest on the middle island which once destroyed drops better loot. There are four types of boom boxes (explosive boxes that take damage to players but do not break blocks) in the game: normal, knockback, poison, and frozen – which can be thrown (except knockback). Players can also get spells from breaking lapis ore. There are three types of spells: life spell (regenerates four hearts of player's health), swiftness (gives player 5 seconds of speed) and fire trail (next 10 blocks walked over will be set on fire).

### Seasonal Minigames

Seasonal Minigames are available only on Winter, Spring and Fall/Autumn as they were made to celebrate Easter, Christmas and Halloween.

### Ghost Invasion

Ghost Invasion is a game where players must avoid getting infected by ghosts and killing them with their zappers. As a ghost, your goal is to infect all humans by exploding near them. As a human, your goal is to either kill all ghosts until they are unable to respawn or stay alive until the match ends.

is a game where 8-player teams must fill most of the arena's ground with their team's color using snowballs (or eggs). The game ends if the entire ground is painted with the team's color or if most of the ground is painted when the match ends.

## Regional Servers

The Hive has servers in 3 regions:

* **North America / Canada:** ca.hivebedrock.network
* **Europe / France:** fr.hivebedrock.network
* **Asia / Singapore:** sg.hivebedrock.network

If you use geo.hivebedrock.network to access, the system will find the nearest regional server and transfers you to it.
