Matchmaking

One call returns the best instance for a player based on region, current load and capacity headroom. No queue server to run, no routing table to maintain. We pick the warmest box that can take them and hand back a transfer in a single round trip.

Cross-server player data

Every player has a single identity that follows them across your whole network. Namespaced key/value data, currencies and leaderboards are read when they join a server and written when they leave, so a player's progress is the same everywhere without you running a database.

Automatic server registration

Boot a server and it registers itself with a heartbeat. We track presence, host and port, and mark it gone when the heartbeat stops. The rest of the platform (matchmaking, transfers, the dashboard) sees it instantly with no manual config.

Punishments & moderation

Issue a ban, mute or kick once and it applies across every server in the network and survives reconnects. You can punish by name even when the player is offline, and everything is recorded with reason and duration.

Dashboard

A single place to manage your networks, browse servers and player profiles, and watch a live activity feed. Built on the same API you build against, so anything in the dashboard is something you can automate.

Building now

Minigame SDK

Write a single game class and a hive-game.json manifest. The platform reads the manifest and provisions the worlds, configs and player data your game needs, then runs your lifecycle hooks. Docs and a forkable reference network are landing alongside it.

On-demand worlds

Open an ephemeral arena for a match or a persistent world for a player on any node, and we sleep it when it goes idle so you stop paying for empty worlds. Snapshots happen automatically, so nothing is lost between sessions.

Managed servers

Spin up game servers on managed cloud capacity directly from the dashboard and let them autoscale with demand. Bring your own boxes or use ours; either way the registration, matchmaking and data layers work the same.

Hytale support

A native server SPI for the Hytale beta: the same API key and the same matchmaking, data and punishment calls as the rest of the platform, ready the day the beta opens. Targeting this fall, alongside the beta.

More cloud providers

Managed servers launched on Hetzner, deployed into your own account so root access and billing stay yours. Next we extend the same bring-your-own-account model to more clouds, starting with OVH and AWS, so you can provision into whichever provider you already run on.

Discord integration

A Discord opt-in module, off by default and configured per network. A player runs /discord in-game to get a short-lived code, then /link in your server's Discord to bind their account and pick up a linked role. Once linked, the same data you already have powers role sync, player and server lookups from inside Discord, and an outbound feed of joins, quits and punishments into a channel. Starts as a shared Hive bot for instant rollout, with a white-label per-operator bot as a paid tier later.

Public status page

A public status page showing hub and per-region health, with incident history and the option to subscribe by email or webhook so you hear about problems before your players do.

Usage & billing insights

Per-network spend, server hours and capacity trends right in the dashboard, with projections so the end-of-month invoice is never a surprise. Set soft budgets and get a heads-up before you cross them.

Exploring

Bring-your-own engine

A thin, documented adapter contract so any game with multiple servers and player data can plug into the same control plane, not just Hytale and Minecraft. Still early; we want to nail the first two engines before generalising.

Standalone console library

Pull the xterm-based server console out of the dashboard into a declarative, embeddable React component so you can drop a live console into your own tooling. Purely exploratory right now.

Marketplace for game templates

A place to publish and fork community-built minigames and lobbies, the same way you fork the reference network today. Depends on the minigame SDK landing first.
