🌍 How do regions work?

To give you a smooth experience, no matter where in the world you're playing from, The Hive has multiple regions. When you join The Hive, you will automatically be connected to the region that is geographically closest to you.

The Hive has three regions:

  • đŸ‡ē🇸 North America
  • đŸ‡ĒđŸ‡ē Europe
  • đŸ‡¯đŸ‡ĩ Asia

To play with friends, you must be playing on the same region as them. You can switch regions in-game at any time by using the /region command or going to the region selector NPC in the hub.

🌏 Local Zones

Some of our main regions are divided into local zones. Local zones are not separate regions; they are smaller areas within our three main regions.

Players who join a local zone are still playing in the associated main region but may experience a smoother connection than when connecting to that region directly.

Currently, the following local zones exist:

  • đŸ‡ĻđŸ‡ē Australia (part of the Asia region)
  • 🇮đŸ‡ŗ India (part of the Asia region)

If you are geographically close to a local zone, you will be automatically connected to it.

🌐 What is The Hive's IP address?

Because The Hive is a Featured Server, you can join it directly from Minecraft's servers tab, and you don't need to enter an IP address.

On devices that allow you to enter an IP address to join a server, you can use the following IPs to connect to The Hive:

The Hive's main IP address is: geo.hivebedrock.cloud

You can also connect directly to our regions and local zones using the following IPs:

  • đŸ‡ē🇸 North America: ca.hivebedrock.network
  • đŸ‡ĒđŸ‡ē Europe: fr.hivebedrock.network
  • đŸ‡¯đŸ‡ĩ Asia: sg.hivebedrock.network
    • đŸ‡ĻđŸ‡ē Australia (Asia local zone): au.hivebedrock.network
    • 🇮đŸ‡ŗ India (Asia local zone): in.hivebedrock.network
