&6The basics
What is Hypixel Housing?
Housing is a long-running game mode on the Hypixel Minecraft server. Every player gets a plot of their own — a house — to build on, decorate, and open up to visitors. Some houses stay quiet builds among friends; others grow into full experiences with custom systems, parkour, events, and communities of regulars who drop by every day.
HypixelHousing.com is an independent resource site for those players. It collects plain-English guides, Minecraft color codes, Free Build information, and links to community-made tools, so you can find what you need without digging through scattered forum threads.

The Free Build corner
Free Build is one of Housing’s most popular genres: public houses where the owner hands build permissions to visitors, so anyone who walks in can place blocks. It’s chaotic, social, and a lot of fun to host — and it comes with its own questions, which these pages answer.

the & symbol, like &6 for gold — useful for
house names, signs, and any other text Housing lets you customize.
