About us
Who we are
HyperLands was one of the largest Minecraft: Bedrock Edition networks, with over 3 million players worldwide. We offered minigames such as BedWars, SkyWars, The Bridge, Duels and UHC Meetup, along with multi-region support for more than 5 years. As a community-based server, we focused on maintaining a high-performance infrastructure, stability and frequent updates.
How we ran the network
At HyperLands, one of our core values was ensuring players, regardless of their device or region, had a seamless experience across our network. We supported multiple regions so players everywhere could enjoy the same smooth gameplay, with NA as our primary region and EU added later (2020-2021).
We also maintained backward compatibility for client versions more than three years old to support 32-bit devices, since a large portion of our community used them. Up until we were forced to drop support, about 2% of our players were still on older client versions.
In 2019, we pioneered device-based queuing in Minecraft by becoming the first server to introduce separate queues based on player devices. We later designed a queuing system that balanced device and region-based matchmaking to place players into the fullest available game.
At our peak in 2021, we had a staff team of 70. We handled moderation, support, events, frequent updates and ongoing scaling, while keeping the server stable for years.

HyperLands has shut down
HyperLands, our beloved Minecraft: Bedrock Edition server, ceased operations on January 4, 2024. This was a difficult
decision, driven by several factors. A significant decrease in our player base following the COVID lockdowns, along with
growing time constraints and expenses, were the main reasons for the shutdown.
Since its initial release on August 12, 2018, HyperLands grew beyond our wildest dreams. Your continued support and
dedication motivated us every step of the way and fueled our commitment 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, an amazing community, and a legacy that
will live on beyond its active years.
Although this chapter has come to an end, the spirit of HyperLands will always live on in us. And who knows what the
future may hold? Time has a way of revealing new possibilities.
