Probably the two most popular and well-known mini-game servers of all, Hypixel and Mineplex are also two of the largest ones. Now, the question of the day - comparing the two massively successful servers, which one possesses more quality in terms of fairness and features? Below are some pros and cons for you to decide whichever is better:

Hypixel
Pros:
-Owns a sophisticated currency and rewards system for all mini-games
-99.7% up time
-Possesses up to 33 different minigames
-Fairly short wait time needed before minigames
-Lobbies are delicately constructed and possess many quirky features such as hidden NPCs
-Little lag, smooth gameplay (most of the time)
Cons:
-Many features require unlocking with the purchasing of ranks
-WAY too much advertising

Mineplex
Pros:
-Up to 30 different mini-games
-Ranks don't actually affect gameplay too much
-Beautifully built lobby is decorated according to upcoming festives and seasons
-Suitable for amateurs for starting off
-Maps are tailor-made by the server's own build team for minigames
Cons:
-Lag, lag and more lag
-LONG wait time before minigames
-Relatively mellow gameplay compared to Hypixel (the guys on Mineplex are slightly worse at PVP)

Now, it's entirely up to you, the reader, to decide whichever server is the better of the two. On the other hand, whatever your choice may be, the most important thing of all is that you enjoy playing on the server. Hey, you can always play on BOTH servers!

I used to play Mineplex but when their server got filled with hackers i moved to Hypixel. MIneplex is just a copy of Hypixel. Ranks do not affect gameplay on Hypixel either. They actually affect gameplay less on Hypixel because on Mineplex you can host a Mineplex Player Server. You can clearly see from this post that the person who made this knows very listtle about Hypixel and did little to no research. I have to disagree on that 'Mineplex is suitable for amateurs' because it ts only suitable for hackers and people who want to play Draw My Thing. And I do have to admit that the anticheat on Hypixel is not that good, it's just NCP as of now. Watchdog however prevents hackers very well but it is not yet an anticheat. The developers on Hypixel are planning to replace NCP with Watchdog at some point though. Mineplex has a worse version of NCP that is very good with kicking movement hackers but it also false detects speed hacks very easily. Mineplex is also planning to get a new anticheat soon. I would not call Mineplex's lobby that beautiful but it is still very nice. Hypixel has way better maps, partially because all the maps on Hypixel are made by professionals and the maps on Mineplex are made by the community. And i just don't see why people think Hypixel is pay to win. The ranks on Hypixel only give you cosmetic features. Hypixel is very PLAY to win though, as the actually good players like that. In fact, Hypixel was the first big server to make their server EULA-compliant. And where are the 'ads' on Hypixel? I have only seen their own ad and MCProHosting's 'ad' and you are not forced to deal with them, if you just watch the Hypixel ad you get free stuff and it isn't free to host a HUGE server network like that. Hypixel is even working on their own game with a team of 45+. Hypixel has very good communities, but they are hard to find from the crowd of little kids if you don't want to go to the forums. Guilds are a very big part of the community. I do have to agree that Mineplex is a bit simpler and if you just want to play some Draw My Thing go ahead but their anticheat is horrible and their community is horrible. I dont see why Mineplex has 'maps tailor-made by the build team' even though they accept community submissions and most maps are not made by their build team.
Hypixel does not accept community submissions for maps, they have professional build teams make all their maps. I do have to admit that having more currencies than 2 might be a little too much for the noobies but Hypixel is just so amazing. I have nothing against the fact that Mineplex accepts community maps but just the fact that this blog post is so biased and does not tell the facts makes me sad for Hypixel. Also, the fact that people like you just don't understand Hypixel keeps the Hypixel community good.
