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

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

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

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 :)

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

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

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

The editing and storytelling, are awesome!

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

Skyboi is the only person who can use dubstep normally in a video

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!

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

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 ☺️

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)

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.

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

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

Bros got potential if he got tommy in his vid

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

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

this is an amazing video skyboi 👌ending almost made me tear up 🙏

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

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!

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

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)

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 :)

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

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 UKposts rank. Nice editing, Amazing storytelling. And you just earned another sub! Keep on working hard and just know I appreciate Content creators like you! 👍❤

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

I love how well researched and edited these videos are

This is my Fav Video From You so Far Keep Up The Good Work

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

Dude I just found your channel and you're the funniest "History" Minecraft youtuber I've seen so far (with JetStarfish ofc)❤

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.

Dude, this video was awesome! Its really hard to find unique yet engaging minecraft videos these days, but you nailed it. I subscribed, cant wait to see more great videos like this!

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

grats on 30k!

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...

This is legit the best "history of video" ive watched

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

Best history video ever

This video was amazing! You should get more recognition because of this.

you name very important lessons to learn, keep up the amazing documentary work 💖 subbed

The quality of this video is insane, well done!

Wow this video is awesome! You just earned a new sub :D

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👌👌

This is the best hypixel video I’ve seen in a long time! Keep it up dude!

Man, your content is amazing, you don't deserve only the youtube rank, you also deserve a silver playbutton!

Holy man you are so underrated I couldn’t have expected a better video when I clicked on it

dude you made me tear up at the end of vid

your videos are very high quality ty for uploading :)

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.

this was such a good video! just subbed :)

This video was dope, love the new documentaries!!

BEST HISTORY LESSON EVER THANK YOU SKYBOI!!!!!!!!

glad skyboi is including small youtubers like tommy in your videos

the ending was none short of ... inspiring

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

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

goated

This was amazingly produced

brought back memories nice vid!
