Hypixel Housing guides & help

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.

&6The basics

What is Hypixel Housing?

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.

&aFree Build

The Free Build corner

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.

&eQuick answers

Common Hypixel Housing questions

The questions new players and hosts ask most, answered in a line or two.

  • How do I join Hypixel Housing?

    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.

  • Is Hypixel Housing free?

    Yes. Every player gets a house at no cost. Housing+ is an optional upgrade, and a creator code takes 5% off it.

  • Which commands should I learn first?

    /visit <player> shows a player’s houses, /home opens your own, and /h random drops you into an active one.

  • How do cookies work?

    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.

  • How do I handle troublemakers in my house?

    /h kick, /h mute, and /h ban remove or silence a player. Mutes and bans can be undone with /h unmute and /h unban.

  • Can I make my own mini-games?

    Yes. The actions system runs your house’s logic, and variables store values for each player, each team, or the whole house.

  • How does parkour work in Housing?

    Houses can run timed parkour courses with leaderboards. Use /parkour checkpoint to go back to your last checkpoint and /parkour reset to start over.

  • How do I get more visitors?

    Make the first minute obvious, keep things smooth when it gets busy, and host on a schedule people can count on.

  • What are the rules for hosts?

    Hosts are responsible for what happens in their house, so read Hypixel’s rules before you open to the public.

  • Is HypixelHousing.com official?

    No. It’s an independent fan site run by CTG123456, and it isn’t connected to Hypixel Inc. or Mojang.
