Hive has update posts for major to somewhat major updates such as a new bedwars season, new quest costumes and game updates. However Hive does not announce every feature they’ve updated.
My suggestion is for Hive to do a monthly micro update announcement showcasing all the tiny changes they’ve made.
Hive had done this in the past named Small round up changes. I cannot confirmed whether they had announced every change they have made over the years though.
For instance here’s a list of some of the unannounced micro updates Hive has made over the past few years. There is likely to be many more micro updates hive has added and gone unnoticed. Let these micro updates be appreciated by the community!
If there are any more I’ve missed, please let me know and I’ll add it into the post!
Starting from 2023/2022? (In order hopefully!)
Hive default avatar update
New default avatar
Old default avatar
CTF Map menu update
CTF received a map menu update so it is in order with Hive custom UI they started rolling out in 2021.

- Deathrun texture/model update (Death Marker, Game Assets)
Wooden Log was retextured (and remodelled if I remember correctly)
All or almost all Death Marker models were made to be 2 pixels in depth
Most death Marker cosmetics from Levels 1 - 40 were given texture updates. Some cosmetics level 20 - 40 may have not recieved one since Hive deemed it to still be Hive Style and inline with their current model texturing style

- Bedwars Microhub Update
CS Sheep model was removed and replaced with a hive style computer NPC
Bedwars (Space) Bundle chest model was added?
Bonus: Various microhub NPCs/models were replaced for the new season theme. This they did announce though.
- Main model update (Again/V2)
Mailbot workplace had various models added/retextured or revamped

CS Sheep NPC was changed to a computer to be inline with the bedwars microhub one
- SkyWars Death Crate changes (This may have added during prestige update)
YOUR Death Crate cosmetic now appear only after you’ve killed a player (excluding falling to the void)
Previously it showed up only when you died)
Hive Icons/UI texture update (I believe this happened on the same day as SkyWars prestige
Various Hive Icons/UI textures found on the top right corner in any gamemode were updated.
Some textures were replaced (Just Build paint brush texture for instance).
Not all textures were updated
