Alpha Hypixel Network



The Alpha Hypixel Network (acronymized as AHN) is a testing server that allows players to test upcoming updates for games on the Hypixel Network. The server was announced on May 5th, 2020, along with the return of linking to the Hypixel Discord through the /discord Command, and access to the  channel for testers.

The Alpha Hypixel Network hosts testing sessions in which the server (alpha.hypixel.net) is open players to test specified subjects, usually upcoming updates or features for specific games. Currently, SkyBlock is the only supported game on the server, and upcoming updates for the game are planned to be tested in the server. The alpha network is limited by rank.
