This article concerns a minigame or feature on the Hypixel Network that has since been removed.

The Game Master (GM) rank was a staff rank on the Hypixel server which was granted to all employees who take on moderation and/or quality assurance responsibilities. This rank provided access to server commands and network permissions, allowing them to perform moderation tasks and enforce rules. It was removed on April 24, 2025, replaced with the Hypixel Staff rank to unify all staff ranks.^[2]

All the perks and permissions of the Game Master rank are not publicly listed or available, so this is not an exhaustive list. The permissions given to Game Masters may vary depending on their job/role on the staff team, though their work was mostly moderation or quality assurance related.

Removal

On April 24, 2025,^[2] the Game Master rank was amalgamated with the Admin rank to form the Hypixel Staff rank.

All current employees of the server were retroactively given the Hypixel Staff rank, with their existing staff rank being removed. Their roles within the staff team remain the same however, with the announcement post stating that the change was purely cosmetic.
