The Main Lobby, also known as the Hub or simply the Lobby, is the focal point of Mineplex and where players first spawn after joining the server. Different lobbies can be accessed by using the Lobby Menu or by typing /server Lobby-#.
The older lobby used to have a big tree in the central plaza, but Chiss had it removed, being replaced by four smaller trees located at the corners of the plaza. In 2016, however, the tree was added back in, even larger than before. In 2018, a completely new and different hub was introduced. In 2019, the original 2013-2014 lobby came back with some improvements which include a gladiators area, and an island for staff to build on.

Parkour[]
The lobby contains 5 parkour courses that can be completed to earn Gems the first run through. To begin a parkour course, players must face the blacksmith villager stationed by the beginning of the course and use the RMB. This causes the player to enter "Parkour Mode", in which all currently equipped Cosmetics are disabled to prevent cheating and all specific parkour rules become active. If a player touches a hazardous object or falls into the void while in this mode, they will be teleported to the beginning of the parkour.

History[]
The first lobby was created when more mini-games than Castle Siege were added. It featured a smaller tree, two parkours, a Pet Shop, and many other small Easter Eggs. It was on Mineplex during 2013 and a part of 2014
In the latter half of 2014, a new lobby was added. This time, the tree was enlarged, more islands were added, the size increased to be able to hold more game portals, and overall detail was added.
In August 2015, the lobby was changed yet again. The most prominent change was that the huge tree was completely removed, replaced with 4 of the stumps of the old tree in each corner. A large M was added to the sky, and many other changes happened.
In July 2016, the lobby was changed again. Game portals were removed and replaced with NPCs on each side. A large amount of islands were added, and instead of a tree a huge portal was added.
A few weeks afterwards, the portal was changed into the biggest tree so far, to decrease lag caused by the portal. This pretty much satisfied the community, and the lobby has been used for over a year.
In February 2018, Mineplex released a new hub, which was the first one to move away from the sky theme. Instead, it features a beach, a huge island to explore, and new hub features (including Staff Build area and Lobby Games).
In April 2018, Mineplex released an update for lobby that changes its looking, making it more colourful as well as adding NPC for each available in Quick Compass just in front of players without having to use an additional portal to move to game rooms.
In January 2019, Mineplex decided to reintroduce the original 2014 lobby upon popular request. The iconic tree lobby includes all the 3 original parkours (ruins, lava and snake), as well as a gladiator arena, a mini-maze, as well as an island for staff to build.
In June 2020, for the first time ever for summer season, a special themed Main Lobby was added with the theme of ocean and everything related to ocean. The main Mineplex tree became as Mermaid. More about that lobby as well as history of its creation can be found on Mineplex Newsletter, issue from August 2020 that can be found here.
In November 2020 after Halloween 2020 event ended, main lobby got a small update introducing sky text back above each group of portals interpreting categories of games (Intermediate, Hardcore, Casual) as well as bringing back "Mineplex" sign presented in 2018 Lobby before. Moreover, the looking of Lava Parkour island, Ruins Parkour island and few other islands as well as shape of Staff Build area that became squared with a grid on ground. That lobby design contains one Easter Egg for Fire Staff Gadget that is located near Lava Parkour finish.
In July 2021, tradition started in 2020 was continued and on that time a special Summer themed lobby was added as well. This time, a theme for the lobby was chosen as vacation on the beach and everything related to it. The main Mineplex tree became a Sand Castle.
