CORRECTIONS: - Mineplex and The Hive ended much more recently, and those closures did not affect Hypixel as much since they were already basically dead - Some of the earlier information in here is out of order because it was very hard to find. To quote a commenter named GarnWall: "In 2010 Simon & Rezzus founded a website called Theory Crafting and got many people from their WoW guild to join. In 2011 Rezzus started making Minecraft maps under the name "rezz" on Planet Minecraft and soon thereafter got Simon, some mods from Theory Crafting, and some WoW clan members involved. The original Simon/Rezz team consisted of Simon, Rezz, Morhora, KevinKool, DonPireso, Zumulus, among others. Simon at the time went by Melace but in September of 2012 Rezz decided to take a step back from the spotlight and they rebranded their Planet Minecraft to "Hypixel" and Simon took on the face of their projects."

thanks for the corrections

bruh. pinned and 1 reply? lemme fix that

[@PointedZoo]

the hive is still wayy popular in the bedrock servers, i dont think they're coming back to java. I mean, they litteraly get to be in the featured servers where they dont need to promote anything at all to mc players!

[@PeemPrimmXzin]

@@PointedZoo Yup, The Hive is basically the Hypixel of Bedrock Edition (imo The Hive is better).

[@MixToons]

Great video man, and thanks for the mention :D I'm honestly astonished by how fleshed out this video is... Most "history of hypixel" videos often go over quick summaries of the past, then have large focuses on the last 4 years, but your video genuinely taught me something new, like how Hypixel wasn't even initially known for its minigames, but for maps... Thank you for really wanting to tell the full story :)

[@skyboimc]

THANK YOU DUDE

[@BlastsAlt]

Hi Tyrad's editor

[@Ezra_Studios]

Yo this video has such good editing, you deserve way more subs! Keep up the good work!

[@Break.]

man this video is so good, hypixel is so nostalgic for me. I first joined the server over 8 years ago and it (mainly bedwars and skywars and youtubers that played those) was a massive part of my childhood growing up. I eventually stopped playing it when I was old enough for people to say 'you still play minecraft?'... which also happened to be not long before minecraft exploded in popularity again which was super annoying. I recently played bedwars with some new friends and it really reminded me of the old days. I don't really know what the message of my comment is lol but thanks for this video, it brought back a bunch of memories while also teaching me more that I didn't know

[@ECorridor]

6:50 I can’t believe Merffinn would say this… wait no actually I can.

[@bedwarp]

@@ECorridor one like no comments lemme fix that

[@MashClash]

Awesome video, hypixel really changed my life in so many ways. It might not every return to the level it was during the pandemic and I might never get those same feelings as when techno was on his winstreak but Im ready to see what the future holds (maybe hytale)

[@christianbloom2417]

yooo mash first

[@GotchaChris13]

your definetely gonna be a succesful youtuber sometime in the future with that gorgeous editing

[@ilf5788]

Smallish youtuber got tommy innit in his video and didn't click bate it, respect.

[@poorwillis]

Dude why does this not have 20 million views already??

[@Glosty]

The editing and storytelling, are awesome!

[@44Hd22]

The music you're using is actually genius. The editing and when Tommy came the dubstep music was actually really fitting but then he coughed and got rid of that atmosphere but what I am saying is that you actually know stuff about music and how it subconsciously manipulates you and how you can use that to optimise epic moments.

[@DavidMrsc]

skyboi out here getting the recognition he deserves! Good job man :D

[@firefoxmd420]

“Step lighter your gonna cause a earthquake” is absolutely foul 🤣

[@MakerMediaPlus]

Imagine having to take a course on the history of hypixel in the future 😂

[@kingeilon]

[@naukgnaw3587]

Bros got potential if he got tommy in his vid

[@AnslordMC]

This was such an informative video, I learned alot! I hope you get that youtube rank!

[@ddp2206]

Idk, i didnt saw you mentioning but, if i remember right in 2018 Build Battle got update. In this update, it got it's own lobby, they have added ranks from Rookie to Master(where's last rank has score requirement of 20,000) and added new, unique mode - "Build Battle Pro Mode". This mode is looks like normal solo mode with just increased time and bigger plot. Until you realise that this mode has so called "Pro Tools"(a very very niche WorldEdit made by Hypixel) that has fill, copy paste, cut, cancel and select tools. So they basically created new absolutely unique mode of Build Battle. What i wanna say that i think(maybe you already said that, idk) - Hypixel got popularity not only cuz it has the most of mini-games. It's also due to hypixel inventing some features that no one though of, making it overall more interesting.

[@Tomipolus]

7:22 He not wrong tho XD

[@waveii8615]

woahh, this is such a well-made and genuinely informative but still humorous video?! i'm impressed, a lot of documentary channels in the gaming community don't have the science down nearly as well as you seem to. i have difficulty watching most of them for more than a few minutes, but this one kept me rapt and invested until the end! well done man, very much so. i've dropped a sub, i'm sure you'll be getting that youtube rank any day now :)

[@ShiftSad]

How did you manage to get TommyInnit in this video????

[@hi-q.-_23]

Damn, I just found this Channel and I have to say, I haven’t seen such good content In such a while. You are very underrated! And I know you deserve that KZbin rank. Nice editing, Amazing storytelling. And you just earned another sub! Keep on working hard and just know I appreciate Content creators like you! 👍❤

[@ItsFlom]

brother managed to bring innit back to skyblock, what a legend. also great vid

[@Jwlian]

This video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥congratulations on hitting 30k, i hope u get yt rank soon!

Hypixel introduced me to multiplayer minecraft because up to that point i had pretty much just played normal survival, but hypixel changed it all. Ah, I Remember my first Bedwars game... I got rekked...

[@FireAdrian]

Glad you're featuring smaller channels like tommyinnit on your channel! Truly inspirational. (/j) (but seriously, well made vid. Could tell you put a lot of effort on this, keep on making more videos)

[@peixianchen2886]

lmao frrr

[@maxikle]

Very amazingly made. Have seen quite a lot of smaller channels invest a lot of time into video, creating actual tension to lead people to watch it all. Amazing!

Your videos are really good for someone with 30k subscribers. If you keep up this level of quality you could hit a million easy. Probably a couple million. Subscribed!

you're gonna blow up soon, your content is amazing!

[@hypixel-randomstuff2236]

bro this is a masterpiece espacially the humor and watchdog, sub earned

btw i love ur vids, but as a classical musician i have to point out that its actually funny that you used Verdi, Reqiuem for the chaos and all that. love ur vids

[@KudaXD]

Only OGs remember xTurtle's videos

Awesome cameo for such a small creator!! Good stuff, man.

[@IndiiFlora]

I learn more from “History of” videos than my history class 😂

[@F1ruzannan]

This is the best History Class ever ngl

[@SmashPlayz]

Skyboi, when I first met you on Unitycraft when you had like a hundred subs, I knew that you were going to go far on KZbin. You have talent that far exceeds most on the platform, you work hard on your content, and you know how to get your channel out there. I'm proud to be one of your OG's! PS: How TF did you get Tommy in your video???

[@skyboimc]

AWWWWW! he followed me on twitter, i asked if he wanted to collab and he said yes

[@SmashPlayz]

@@skyboimc That's amazing!! Well, I would say that he knows talent when he sees it!

[@scavengerrx1906]

Man I loved playing skyblock with my friends when it came out and we always competed with each other to see who can come out on top. At the same time I joined SMPEarth Public, where I was a huge part of the community and played mostly there. I gradually left skyblock in 2023 since there was so much content within the game and I wasn’t motivated to play. After I quit skyblock, I gave all my items to my friends who still play (i kept my mosquito bite) and now play SMPEarth, BTE, survival servers with friends and only really played hypixel for mini games, bed wars and skywars. Also, 6:23 BASED AF

[@abdurehmanmalik2980]

8:00 BRO, I can't focus on the documentary if the comedy is such GOLD

[@nocrit_9004]

Yea hypixel was my essentially my into to multiplayer games and most video games in general, i think i first started playing minecraft in like 2014-2015

[@MichaelCitationNeeded]

the fact that he got TommyInnit in his video is crazy, you are both so poggers

[@buqueta]

this is a really great video, i actually can't believe this level of quality, you deserve more support dude.

[@Alixe_l0sn]

I couldn’t believe I could watch a video for more than 10 minutes without skipping once

[@1779]

5:58 maaaaan this nostalgic as hell music was from wall-e game on xbox 360🔥🔥🔥

[@cruzortuno7004]

Just found your chanel and I already fell in love, such a good content creator!

[@fivepandas1]

Quality is really good, earned a sub

[@bramvoet8640]

Great video bro! Really deserved sub for you, hope you get the rank soon! Seeing this video brings so many memories back. The good old times!

[@Mafioso276]

bro your video is so damn good. you're like the english version of an italian yotuber named Poldo, and i love that. your edit is very nice. do more videos like this, were you talk about the history of something on the web, cause it's crazy👌👌

[@mercykabasha1659]

Man i can prophesy with this kind of content ur channel i really going to go far :) Keep it up!

[@Sharko_that_guy]

This guys is so underrated ngl bro is such a good editor

[@pwrhynix7980]

The edits o no this were rllly cool. Well done 👍

[@MaybeHarvey]

I haven’t watched Tommy since he stopped uploading skyblock but it’s nice to see him look back on it. I remember him popping in to a thirty virus stream after becoming a bit of a big deal and saying hi, this was a few months after he stopped iirc

[@Pedrocas]

this video was awesome! Rooting for your KZbin rank mate, got my sub :)

[@theallduck]

Hope u get yt rank! Good luck on ur journey 👍🏽

[@kaskata200.]

Seeing you for the first time! Only 22k subs??? UNDERRATED! Hope you get yt rank!

You actually used Time Lapse for something other than a time lapse. Respect.

[@henrytype1691]

These videos high key well made bro good job

[@pocalocawashere]

Well, looks like youtube rank is just around the corner. You've got this, SkyBoi!

[@hyeprion1587]

I had a similar experience. During COVID (caused by Simon) I couldn’t hang out with any irl friends. I would wake up late, get on hypixel, go to bed late. I found a group of people who were older where I could have fun while not worrying about anything else. Most people my age suck and finding mature people who have similar interests was a great eye opening experience. Eventually they all stopped logging in. Going to college, stopped playing, a few no longer here. It was a great experience for me to be open to the real world and find out that memories don’t last forever. All those bad times throughout the pandemic didn’t affect me in any way. I’m really glad I could experience that group of people because I learnt so much from them. I always love these documentaries because I always find a way or another to relate to them.

[@eydrian_n]

didnt expect this much from the video storytelling and editing was phenomenal surpriesed this video or your channel in general doesnt get more traction

[@crem44]

glad skyboi is including small youtubers like tommy in your videos

[@SobrMC]

this is a great video, the transition from smp content to documentary is definetly gonna be worth it

[@aCheqter]

"the anticheat keeps updating" LMAOAO THIS IS FUNNY AF

this is literalty the best hypixel video that I have ever seen :D

Dude I just found ur channel and I’m watching all ur vids lol I recognize a lot of music in the background that I really like - and ur also so good at making videos!! I can definitely see u getting over 500k over time:D definitely watching more ur vids! + 1 sub

[@Twertel]

Playing my music: “what is that awful noise” is far to relatable to me

This guy deserves likes and subscribers. Well done on the recording, editing, and getting TOMMY F!?CKING INNIT to feature in the video. Bravo.

[@applemnster6309]

Great video, your documentary skills are excellent!

[@1x10O]

Bro this is actually good content! Really well done!

[@Leomafrogo]

as someone who has KZbin rank, i can confirm its the MOST important thing on hypixel

[@wyll_]

He doesn’t miss Simply, he doesn’t miss

[@DoneThatSeenThat]

Hypixel is peak until you realize it killed many servers like woodycraft and mineplex also a bit of misinformation here at 4:14, woodycraft was extremely popular, if not more popular than hypixel. And it was EVERYWHERE on server list websites, they had it made with the advertising.

[@closet_thing]

Thanks for the commission! It was very fun :D!!!

[@FerFilho7]

I rarely sub to a channel that I've only watched one video of, but this one is so good it deserves it

[@Frixed]

love how you managed to include energy drink in this to make it 10x more nostalgic

[@j69k]

the ending was none short of ... inspiring

[@WinterMorning_]

dude. that ending? i was about to tear up- this was an amazing video, great job bro

[@mememan302]

You are very underrated. Great vid! You earned a new sub!

[@craftypog]

Awsome vid homie! Good job summing up the history of the server. I really enjoyed!
