Hive: Upheaval

A celebration of the release of Skyblock: Horizons!!

Note

Yes, this is based on the Skyblock server, but this suggestion is entirely about the Hive minigame server. Just wanted to specify that in case this topic runs the risk of being taken down under assumption of being about the Skyblock server.

Hive is on the ground.

Skyblock is in the sky.

What if Hive was also in the sky?

Note about SkyBlock

No.

Here’s the idea: in the weeks before SkyBlock: Horizons releases, there would be some… occurrences across the world of the Hive.

Starting simple with some minor changes. Blocks randomly flying off in the distance (think Hermitcraft Season 8), bright flashes, and deep rumblings from within the ground.

Nothing too game breaking, just out of the ordinary.

Then the real stuff starts. Let’s place these things at one week before the release, for time frame’s sake:

~7-5 days before: New LTMs appear in popular games (suggestions would be greatly appreciated).

~5-3 days before: Major changes to gravity, mechanics, and physics inside of the main hub and all microhubs.

~2 days before: New quests appear from Mailbot asking for help to figure this out. There is no way to complete these (yet…).

~1 day before (preferably in the hour before release): Ever so slowly, chunks of the world will get ripped out and sent into the sky. Gamemodes would fail to load, and some would get taken up all together. The world is experiencing an upheaval.

Release day: Hive is in the sky! The hub is fractured, requiring parkour to get to places like the castle and the lighthouse. A new cave system is found under the town leading to a crystal that created the changes (thus completing the quests). Lore…?

The biggest change would be PERMANENT UPDATES to gamemodes. Maybe level 100 Death Run and Hide and Seek. Or new maps and features in Block Drop, Ground Wars, and Block Party. Or possibly even new Parkour Worlds… worlds.

This new version of the hub could be a permanent change, or an event based timed thing. There could even be a new major hub quest for all players to complete to restore the world.

Final note

Overall, this concept is very rough and not at all polished. I mean I had the idea very late at night, which might explain the craziness of it. Literally any feedback would be amazing. Thank you.

Been so excited for skyblock horizons for so long, I hope it can release soon and this topic would make that release even better!

I will say though, larger additions such as LTMs and more levels on games probably shouldn’t come with it as it could take away people from the launch.

I guess larger updates could take people away from SkyBlock, but there is sure to be a large chunk of the community that will not play it, and they should get a benefit from such a huge release. I think it would be awesome if SBH was utilized as an epic event for the entire Hive server, not just a thing that drops out of nowhere.

An event like this would be great. I’m not the biggest fan of it effecting games, but a hub event where it looks like stuff is lifting into the sky would be sick.

Go TotK style and lift up the castle.

like yoshi said, I think it’s best to not affect games. But, instead, we could maybe add a different aesthetic. Like, for example, in Bedwars and skywars, you can, say, see the clouds below the map.

this would be extremely fun to experience, we haven’t had an event drastically change the hub since i think maybe the pirate event?

This would be great and I really hope there’s a way to access skyblock horizons thru the hub because if they don’t do that then I won’t be able to play since I’m on Nintendo Switch which doesn’t let you create custom servers.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I do have to agree that game changes would not be a great idea. I’ve decided to just have the gravity stuff happen in hubs. That would mean that the only thing actually changing gamemodes would be the LTMs, and the actual updates that could come alongside this.

i think skyblock horizons is going to be a featured server

yay! (why do they not spaces as characters? character limit)

though i think for the actual gamemode gravity they could make it look like you are falling upward instead of down without really changing the map-not sure how that would work tho

Does anyone know how to make the Nintendo Switch version of minecraft less laggy? I’ve had some major lag (like 10 fps) and I literally can’t bridge anymore. i’m almost level 45 in bws but I can’t play bws because I’m laggy!!:angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

GrrrBambiGIF

unfortunately no, i used to play switch, there isnt really a way around it other than switching to another device

specifically minecraft for switch is known for being especially buggy

I asked chat GPT and it said to close Minecraft completely before playing again and that empties the “Cache” and helps it run better.

16

You asked AI?

17

Can everyone please stay on topic? This suggestion has nothing to do with Minecraft on Nintendo Switch, and I would like this to stay up so people can see it and help it evolve.

Yeah all it said was to completely close the game after your done. I didn’t ask Ai for anything on here though

there should be a costume and/or a mount that is given from this-not really sure what it would be-something related to the skyblock horizons server tho
