Hypixel is better because they keep the focus on their main playerbase instead of accepting a sponsorship from Microsoft to focus on a crappy Bedrock Edition server instead. That said, it's the obscure minigames and prototypes on Hypixel that are the best. Skywars and Bedwars depend entirely on grinding for perks, while murder mystery just isn't fun. I prefer games like KOTH for it's fairness and Smash Heroes for it's originality and gameplay. I also love the competitive Quakecraft community because of the difficulty and pace of the game.

No one at mineplex knows what reach is and the staff doesn't even care about the anticheat, atleast watchdog is something and there's only one developer.

I prefer Hypixel, because I was banned from Mineplex for "Bot Spam" and it wasn't very fun anyway... I miss my friend on there ;-;

Hypixel in my opinion I find mineplex to have way too many hackers

Hypixel is fun, but Mineplex still has a lot of potential despite not being as popular as before. Or at least on the Java version. I enjoy both servers but Minplex would be more fun if they would decrease the amount of players needed for a game so they can start faster.
