HeXHub.net is a small server that I run privately on the side and continue to expand. The server runs via a bungee cord system (Velocity) and includes several different servers with different game modes. On HeXHub.net there is a cross-server rights, bans, friends and coin system.Survival Various plugins are installed on the survival server, which improve the experience but in no way significantly change the original vanilla gameplay. I’ve been running the survival server for a good 5 years and only recently started turning it into a bungee cord server. HeXHub.net will primarily remain a vanilla survival server.
