A massive new UHC update has just been released, adding a ton of new content to UHC including new professions, kits and prestige kits, recipes, extra ultimates, balances, bug fixes and more!



We can't thank the UHC community enough for their help and input on this update. We really enjoyed the feedback and tried to incorporate as much of it as possible when deciding what to do.



See below for a full list of changes, or play them live on the server right now.​

New Lobby New Lobby

The new lobby format is fully translatable, which means we can change the language of things in the lobbies for both Hypixel China and non-English languages on the western server

Our data shows that newer players find it much easier to navigate and play games with NPCs as opposed to signs. This means new players are more likely to try your favorite older games

Changing from signs to NPCs and moving spawn position means on average you get into games faster. It may only be a couple of seconds, but those seconds add up to more time getting kills

Our new Leaderboard system makes it much easier for us to add new stats / leaderboards, plus is much faster, more scalable and fully translatable

Moving the portal farther back from spawn means no more annoying portal noise when idling and chatting

More flat terrain means you have more space to use fun lobby cosmetics you have unlocked like Trampolines and Diving Boards

Some of our older game lobbies are very old. It's nice to revisit them and fix some small long-standing design issues
