We are updating the application review process for Bonus Member and Bonus Builder.
Bonus Member Applications: Admins will review your playtime before looking at any builds. If you do not meet the playtime requirement (100 hours), your application will be deleted and considered incomplete.
Bonus Builder Applications: Admins will be limiting our responses for Bonus Builder applications.
Denied Applications: You will receive one email with the reason for the decision and general tips for improvement. To keep the process fair, we will not provide specifics on how to improve your build. You are welcome to reapply, but you will only get another response if your application is approved.
Approved Applications: We will respond to you via email if your application is approved!

The SMP server has been updated to Minecraft 26.2! We may need to restart the server more often to keep up with the latest engine/plugin updates – https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-26-2
5/27/2026
I’m putting the finishing touches on the iShop plugin update, which means a stock purge is coming up. If you previously had shops and there are items in the stock block that you want to save, make sure to submit an item retrieval request before June 5th. You can find all the details in the pinned message in the #shops-and-trades channel on Discord. Once the purge happens, items can’t be recovered.
5/11/2026
The server is officially running on Minecraft 26.1.2! We are still updating the website, so please be patient if some features are not working.
The End has been reset
– If your /sethome is at the XP farm, it is safe to teleport.
– Do not teleport to any other /sethome in the End. You will likely fall into the void. Admins will not restore inventory due to teleporting to an unsafe location.
5/8/2026
The SMP server will be going offline around 12pm PT on Monday, May 11, 2026 as we update to Minecraft 26.1.2 and also perform server machine maintenance. There is no ETA for completion, we will make an updated announcement once the SMP server is back online.

If you had items stored in the Shop Stock block and need to retrieve the items, please submit a Shop Request form through the MinedHype website. The screenshot below is an example of how the form should be completed.
Admins will provide access to the inventory within 24 hours from the time the form is submitted, and we will give players a few days to remove items before revoking access. Admins will make a formal announcement before items are purged, and we will not restore any missing items once the purge takes place. The Shop Stock is only intended for players to use to store trade items. Please take advantage of Ender Chests to help store your other items.

We have made some changes to the prizes at the Gaming District. Also, if you recently donated your player head to the Hall of Fame, it has been added!
3/9/2026
We will be doing random prize swaps at the Gaming District! We have been reading chat, looking through reports, and taking into consideration all the feedback that we have received. We are so glad everyone is enjoying the games!
We will also being doing random token swaps to help prevent people from stock piling tokens and redeeming them all at once. We recommend redeeming your token when you get it to avoid losing your chance at a prize.
Keep in mind, admins are not available 24/7 to restock prizes, and prize stock goes pretty quick (especially for non-stackable items) if you constantly play a game. If a game is out of stock or if there is an issue, you can report it in the #help-and-support discord channel or submit a report online.
