About us
Who we are
HyperLands was one of the largest Minecraft: Bedrock Edition networks, serving over 3 million players worldwide. Built around reliability, community, and high-performance infrastructure, it delivered fast-paced minigames and cross-region support for more than 5 years.
How we ran the network
We supported multiple regions to keep gameplay consistent for players worldwide, with NA (primary) and EU (2020-2021) coverage. We also built an advanced custom queuing system that balanced device-based queuing, regional routing, and smart placement into the fullest available game possible to keep lobbies active and reduce wait time.
In 2019, we pioneered device queuing, becoming the first Minecraft server to introduce device-based queues. We maintained backwards compatibility for versions more than three years old to support 32-bit devices, keeping support down to 1.16.0, since a big portion of our community used it. Up until we were forced to drop support, about 2% of our players still used that version.
At our peak in 2021, we had a staff team of 70. We managed moderation, support, events, frequent updates and day to day operations while keeping the server stable over years.

HyperLands has shut down
HyperLands, our beloved Minecraft: Bedrock Edition server, ceased operations on January 4th, 2024. This was a tough choice, directed by several factors.
A significant decrease in our player base post-COVID lockdowns, along with growing time constraints as well as expenses,
were the primary reasons leading to the server's shutdown.
Ever since its debut on August 12, 2018, HyperLands has grown beyond our wildest dreams.
Your continuous support and dedication have served as our motivation behind our tireless efforts to provide the best gaming experience.
We'd like to thank every player and supporter for being a part of this amazing journey. Your contributions have grown HyperLands into more than just a server,
but a home, a part of your childhood, a vibrant community, and a legacy that will live on beyond its active period.
Even though this chapter is coming to an end, the spirit of HyperLands will always remain alive within us. And who knows what the future might hold?
Time has a way of revealing new possibilities.
