The Hypixel Housing guide
How to join, the commands you’ll actually use, cookies, the actions system, and how to grow a house people come back to.
From your first /visit to running a busy Free Build: beginner guides, the commands
worth knowing, color codes and fonts for your house, and straight answers when something goes wrong.
Housing is a free, long-running game mode on Hypixel, the Minecraft: Java Edition server at
mc.hypixel.net. Every player gets a plot of their own, called a house, to build on,
decorate, and open up to visitors. Some houses stay quiet hangouts for friends. Others become full
mini-games, parkour maps, and event hubs with regulars who drop by every day.
HypixelHousing.com is an independent fan site for those players. It collects plain-English guides, color codes, fonts, and Free Build help, so you can find what you need without digging through old forum threads.

A hall of fame for the builders, coders, hosts, and tool makers who shaped Housing.
Free Build (often written Freebuild) 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.
Hosting info, community articles, and links from around the Free Build scene.
What to do right after a ban, what termination resets, and how to keep it from happening again.
What the label means in the Free Build scene, who usually earns it, and why it matters.
The questions new players and hosts ask most, answered in a line or two.
Connect to mc.hypixel.net on Java Edition, then type /l housing to jump straight to the Housing lobby. You can also pick Housing from the game menu.
Yes. Every player gets a house at no cost. Housing+ is an optional upgrade, and a creator code takes 5% off it.
/visit <player> shows a player’s houses, /home opens your own, and /h random drops you into an active one.
Right-click the cookie in your hotbar to give a house a pack. Packs are limited each week, and the house browser ranks houses by cookies.
/h kick, /h mute, and /h ban remove or silence a player. Mutes and bans can be undone with /h unmute and /h unban.
Yes. The actions system runs your house’s logic, and variables store values for each player, each team, or the whole house.
Houses can run timed parkour courses with leaderboards. Use /parkour checkpoint to go back to your last checkpoint and /parkour reset to start over.
Make the first minute obvious, keep things smooth when it gets busy, and host on a schedule people can count on.
Hosts are responsible for what happens in their house, so read Hypixel’s rules before you open to the public.
