Combat Improvements Update!
Howdy! We’ve been working on several improvements to help make combat more accurate and reliable no matter where you play.
To clarify, we're not changing anything related to gameplay. This has nothing to do with 1.8 or 1.9 combat. This is purely related to making improvements to our current combat system. This can be quite technical so we'll do our best to explain.
Improved: Hit detection
We've rewritten how the vanilla Minecraft server processes movement and combat to make it instantaneous instead of a 50ms delay due to how vanilla's "tick loop" works. This can improve combat accuracy by up to 1.5 blocks and helps to improve hit detection - especially when sprinting.
This means that all combat and movement on the network is now 50 milliseconds faster for all users!
Fixed: Player displacement
This fixes an odd bug that would sometimes cause players to appear in the ground or floating. They will now appear where they actually are - no more aiming where someone should be. Quakecraft players will be especially happy about this one!
Fixed: Odd food eating/potion consumption bugs
We've rewritten portions of the system used for eating food or consuming potions - this removes the bug with consuming items taking too long. In addition, it helps to make consuming items more reliable for everyone, regardless of their connection!
New: Combat Tracker
The Combat Tracker can be enabled in most PVP games using the /trackcombat command. It allows advanced players to see how their hits are (or aren’t) registering and help locate any issues.
The Miss Rate allows you to know when your hits miss due to being too far away, and a low Damage Rate means you’re hitting too quickly for Minecraft to register them. APS (“attacks per second”) measures how many attempted hits you’re sending. Lastly, ping shows changes in your ping - this way you can tell if it’s a connection issue and not a problem with your skills.
We are always working to improve gameplay on the server and fix bugs, so make sure to report any issues in the Bug Reports section. Now, go play!

Smash Heroes Update - 3 New Heroes & Balancing Changes
New challengers are here! We've just updated Smash Heroes on Hypixel with 3 brand new heroes plus lots of bug fixes and balance changes, available to play right now in the Smash lobby!Meet Sanic, Sergeant Shield & Green Hood
Green Hood - Ranged
Unlock Cost: 200,000 coins
Smash Level Requirement: 200
By day, a waiter in a French restaurant. By night, a vigilante archer. The Green Hood uses his excellent bow skills and martial arts to destroy his enemies - at any distance!
Green Hood is designed to be a pure ranged character, deadly at distance. Most of his attacks are based around charging up and firing arrows - but you can change the types of arrows you fire! Master all the Arrow Types to stop enemies before they even reach you.
MOVESET:
Fire Bow - Right-Click
Press and hold right-click to charge up your bow. Release it to fire different types of arrows!
Switch Arrow Type - [2]
Activate this ability to instantly switch your current arrow type, changing which type of arrow you fire with Right-Click.
Multi-Shot Arrow - Arrow Type
Charge up your bow to fire a volley of up to five arrows at once. The longer you charge, the more you fire.
Scatter Arrow - Arrow Type
Charge up your bow to fire a single arrow which bursts on impact, releasing lots of arrows in all directions.
Tripmine Arrow - Arrow Type
After your bow is charged, release it to fire a single arrow. If this arrow hits the ground it will stay there, and explode if touched by another player. If you directly hit a player, it will explode instantly. Only 1 tripmine arrow can be active at a time.
Gravity Arrow - Smash Attack + Arrow Type
Press [3] to equip a special arrow type. The next arrow you fire will create a gravitational sphere which pulls in and traps nearby players.
Flying Punch - Passive
After double-jumping, performing a melee attack in the air will make you do a powerful flying punch in the direction you are looking.
Fire Bow - Right-Click
Press and hold right-click to charge up your bow. Release it to fire different types of arrows!
Switch Arrow Type - [2]
Activate this ability to instantly switch your current arrow type, changing which type of arrow you fire with Right-Click.

Flying Punch - Passive
After double-jumping, performing a melee attack in the air will make you do a powerful flying punch in the direction you are looking.
Sanic - Melee
Unlock Cost: 75,000 coins
NO Level Requirement
Nobody knows where this humanoid hedgehog came from, and when anyone asks he just stares blankly then runs away. If he would only stop long enough, we might know the answers to questions like: Why can he run so fast? And why does he love Onion Rings so much? ...some things are better left unsaid.
Sanic is an extremely fast-paced melee hero with great recovery. Every time he deals damage he generates Onion Rings which he collects automatically. The more rings he has, the more crazy his smash attack becomes!
MOVESET:
Spin Dash - Right-Click
Right-Click to launch Sanic into the air before flinging himself towards the enemy you are looking at dealing damage on impact. Be careful: time this attack wrong and you may find yourself flinging towards somewhere you don't want to be!
Sanic Boom - [2]
Press [2] to activate a brief burst of speed. As you move you'll also cause explosions around you, causing damage.
Onion Rings - Passive
Every time you deal damage to an enemy, you'll generate Onion Rings which Sanic will automatically collect. The more Onion Rings you've collected, the more powerful your Smash Attack becomes!
Supersanic Ring Cannon - [3], Smash Attack
Press [3] to transform Sanic into Super Sanic. Sanic's speed increases, and he starts to shoot dangerous onion rings rapidly outwards in all directions. The Onion Rings cause damage and knockback on any enemies they hit, and the more Onion Rings Sanic has collected, the more dangerous this attack becomes.

Sergeant Shield - Hybrid
Unlock Cost: 25,000 coins
Smash Level Requirement: 50
A super soldier raised by the military, Sergeant Shield quit and vowed never to pick up a gun again. Instead he fights for justice using a disc made from pure Smashonium, the most indestructible element on Earth.
With good mobility and expert defence, Sergeant Shield is a hybrid hero able to defend against both melee and ranged attackers. His passive allows him to raise his indestructible shield, completely deflecting many of the game's projectiles at the cost of energy - but only if he's holding it. Master toggling between deflecting and attacking with your shield to become a defensive powerhouse!
MOVESET:
Reflect - SHIFT + Passive
Hold Shift to raise your shield, deflecting many projectile types back at your attackers. Raising your shield consumes energy, which takes time to recharge. You can only use Deflection whilst holding your shield.
Shield - Right-Click
Right-Click with your shield to dash in the direction you are facing, dealing damage and knockback to anyone in your path.
Ricochet - [2]
Press [2] to throw your shield a short distance towards an enemy. The shield can bounce off and hit multiple targets before returning.
Justice - [3], Smash Attack
Press [3] to launch your shield high into the air, before crashing back down into the map. The crash causes an earthquake, dealing damage and knocking other heroes into the air.

Announcing our two newest Admins! Luckykessie and Nitroholic_!
Another two admins have joined the Hypixel team, both of them Moderators!
First up we have LuckyKessie - who's joining as an additional staff manager. She's going to be focusing on a lot on making sure we have a staff manager available during Australian hours & just generally being the positivity hand grenade she is. She'll bring cheer if you are staff or not!
Secondly, Nitroholic_ joins as a developer - His initial duty is to focus primarily on small bug fixes especially on older / less updated games. I'm sure you are going to be seeing him jumping around here and there across many sub forums
Please join me in welcoming them both into the Admin team!
