What Is a Hub / Network Server?
A hub server (often called a network) is one server with many connected game worlds reached through a central lobby. Think of it as a multiplayer arcade. Here's how hubs work and what you'll find inside.
One lobby, many worlds
When you join a network, you land in a hub — a central spawn with portals, NPCs, or commands that teleport you to different gamemode servers (Survival, BedWars, Skyblock, and more). Behind the scenes, each world is a separate server; the hub stitches them together seamlessly.
What networks usually offer
- Minigames — BedWars, SkyWars, Murder Mystery, Build Battle.
- Survival & Skyblock — persistent economies alongside the games.
- Seasonal events — leaderboards, rewards, and rotations.
