Hive should merge Block Drop, Gravity, and Blockparty into 1 game, possibally with other minigames.
These games should merge into 1 to make the central part of the Hive hub less clustered, making it more friendly while not removing a large playerbase.
From what I know, and what I’ve played from the games (max in block drop, lvl 18 in nlock party, and level 3 in gravity). They have a similar playstyle, and a similar playerbase. Not hutting the hive much to merge them, unlike if they got rid of, or merged any other minigame. (for most, a logistical nightmare)
On top of that, it would allow hive to add mofe snaller minigames. Ones not large enough to be put lone in the hub, but large enough for a collection of multiple games.
Just to note, I was debatting adding atleast 1 other game into this collection. My 1st and best addition being ground wars, but with that or any other game it would stand out being much larger than the other 3.
Edit: Please stop replying to this, I realise now its not a great idea, but I can’t delete it.
Why Block Drop and Gravity? And not the other Gravity! I don’t like this idea as much as maybe others do, but it is very interesting and something that I wouldn’t expect to hear. Good job, I guess!

I disagree with this. The games are very different from one another, as one is a variation of TNT Run/Spleef, another Dropper, and Block Party is its own thing.
If someone enjoys, say, Block party, they should not have to play the other games just to play the game that they want to. Same goes for Block Drop and Gravity. For example, some devices, especially switch, have trouble loading chunks quickly. As a former switch player, at least for me, Gravity was difficult to play because it took around 5 seconds for me to see what was beneath me, leaving me to not play it on Switch. However, if someone is in the same situation and wants to play Block Party, they should not have to play Gravity and Block Drop just to play 1 round of Block Party.
Another issue is leaderboard grinding. Since everybody has their own strengths and skills, somebody might be skilled at Block Party, but not as skilled as Gravity. This would deter leaderboard players from grinding a game, because in order to grind the game they are good at, they must play the other games first.
In my opinion, the only correlation they have with each other is they are “arcade like games” but I think they are good enough to stand on their own, and dont need to be merged.

With the hive playerbase expanding, hive has moved away from making small minigames, and is instead working on more detailed games like bedwars and parkour worlds. Why should three games played in different ways, with different playstyles and players be merged into one gamemode? I feel like this is not something most people want to see happen to these classic games. Gravity and block party where both on the hive java edition sever, and block drop is like that one egg game they had on java too. We don’t need these games combined.

First of all. My reply to this is so late:sob:
. But anyways, Ive thought it over some, and yeah, not my best idea.
I’m not a big fan of this idea in the first place, but please explain to me this:
How do you merge the levels and level up rewards if all of them are out of 25 levels? You can’t just do 75 levels and take away cosmetics from from the players. Merging three seperate level datas for a player sounds impossible. And people wouldn’t appreciate 3 games getting level wiped. This idea from a coding standpoint is already impossible, so I don’t know how you expect Hive to find a way to implement this.
