How Hypixel Took Over Minecraft

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."

epic

this video is infinitely better than any other history class i’ve taken

It’s so nice that you help small creators like TommyInnit, truly a great person 👍

i want to eat hypixel

Skybois transition from making smp content to documentary styled videos is something unheard of. Glad to see you still succeeding on this platform!

i dont know how to actualy show or say how or why i appreciate him and how underrated he is, but im just thankfull to see him on this platform in this time.

Another W SkyBoi video, love these :)

THESE MOTION GRAPHICS ARE CRAZY COOL

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 :)

This actually hits close to home. I wasn't bullied, but I had very few friends in person, but online I found all the friends I play with today. Thanks for bringing back some good memories

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

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

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

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.

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

The editing and storytelling, are awesome!

We will get you there. You really do deserve to have that rank, you are such an inspiration to many people including me ❤ I'll be here the whole way ☺️

Kongrats on 30k🎉🎉

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!
