Overview
- The voxel sandbox debuted as the most‑watched game on Twitch during launch day, drawing over 420,000 viewers across thousands of streams.
- Hypixel said demand exceeded expectations, cautioned that launch week could be bumpy, and advised restarting the launcher and syncing system time to resolve download and login issues.
- An initial hotfix introduced time‑sync warnings, improved launcher authentication handling, and fixed several crash causes, including issues tied to buckets and certain character hairstyles.
- Pre‑purchases have secured roughly two years of development funding, with the 50‑person team planning quick, frequent updates after an intensive rebuild to get early access playable.
- The early access release is available only through Hypixel’s PC launcher with three paid editions, day‑one modding and creator tools, and prototypes for friend lists, proximity voice chat and official minigames in development.
