About The Hive – Minecraft Bedrock Server
One of the most popular Bedrock servers with 100M+ total players and 7M+ monthly unique players, known for polished minigames like BedWars, SkyWars, and Just Build.
The Hive is a Minecraft server founded in February 2013 by Youri Kersten (ClankStar) and Ed Barlow (b0xx3r), with significant contributions from Matt (JollyajaX). What started as a Java Edition server grew into one of the most recognizable names in Minecraft multiplayer. The Hive launched its Bedrock Edition server on October 16, 2018, and it quickly eclipsed the Java version in popularity, routinely pulling 50,000+ concurrent players. The Java server was officially shut down on April 15, 2021, allowing the team to go all-in on Bedrock.
Based in the United Kingdom, The Hive operates as Hive Games Limited and works directly with Microsoft as an official Minecraft Partner. The server is accessible on every Bedrock platform -- iOS, Android, Windows, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch -- making it one of the most broadly available multiplayer experiences in Minecraft. Over 100 million players have played on The Hive at some point in its history, a number that puts it in rare company among gaming servers of any kind.
The Hive's strength lies in the quality and variety of its minigames. Rather than trying to be everything to everyone, the server focuses on tight, well-designed competitive and casual modes that are easy to pick up but have enough depth to keep players coming back. Their seasonal ticket system and cosmetic unlocks give players long-term goals beyond just winning matches.
The team also runs a robust Partner Program for content creators on YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok, recognizing that community-driven content is a major growth channel for Bedrock servers. Their social media presence is substantial, with 45K+ followers on Instagram and an active community Discord server.
Beyond the server itself, The Hive creates and sells content on the Minecraft Marketplace, including add-ons, skin packs, and worlds, expanding their reach to players who may not even connect to the server directly.
