Honestly if it weren't for the new gamemode on hive I probably would go with cubecraft the maps are alot cooler in my opinion. The lobby are about the same. Something I find funny about the lobby is that on cubecraft the Halloween made a easy parkour jump so much harder while the Hive made a hard parkour jump so much easier.The updates may not be fully comparable, since CubeCraft's update had to be simplified because the team's focus on the 1.19 update. So this year it's definitely not as much as it could have been. But I've never played on The Hive, so I can't really make a judgement on that either.
