Command suggestions

Hex watches which commands you run, learns your habits, and offers them back the next time you open chat.

Nothing is sent anywhere — it all lives on your computer — and nothing is ever run for you: it fills in the box, you press Enter.

The three ways it helps

The list

Start typing a command and a ranked list appears above the chat box, ordered by what you actually use rather than alphabetically.

Key Does
↑ / ↓ Move through the list
Tab or Take the highlighted one (whichever you set under Accept with)
Escape Dismiss the list without closing chat
Click Pick that row

Each row carries a small note on the right — here, next, often, holding — saying in one word why it made the list. A line too long for the chat box is shortened with an ellipsis; what gets typed in is always the whole thing.

Inline completion

As you type, the rest of the line appears greyed out ahead of the cursor; Tab or accepts it.

It follows the list: arrow down to another suggestion and the greyed-out text becomes that one, so what is highlighted and what is written ahead of the cursor are never two different answers.

This is where it beats Hypixel's own tab-completion, which knows the command /warp exists but has no idea that when you type /warp d you mean dungeon_hub. It only appears when the guess is a confident one — how confident is the Inline threshold slider.

Just a slash

Type / on its own and it offers what you are most likely to want right now.

That is a real prediction, not a most-used list: it changes with where you are standing, what you are holding, what you last ran, and what chat said in the last few seconds. A party invite thirty seconds ago moves /party accept to the top; the same slash in the Dwarven Mines while holding a drill offers something else entirely.

What it pays attention to

Where you are (island, and the patch of ground you are on), what is in your hand and what kind of thing it is, your hotbar and armour, how full your inventory is, how long you have been online, the last two commands you ran, and whether chat has just asked you something.

It learns which of those actually predict your commands and ignores the rest — and it learns how much to trust each one from which suggestions you pick, so it gets better at being useful to you specifically rather than to players in general.

It reads Skyblock's own calendar too

  • The season. A Skyblock year passes in a little over five real days, so autumn comes round often enough to learn from — which is what makes the Spooky Festival commands start appearing before you have thought of them. Read off the scoreboard.
  • Skyblock time of day. Not your clock — Skyblock's, which runs a full day every twenty real minutes. What you do when it is dark on Skyblock has nothing to do with what you do at night where you live, and both are learned separately. It takes the sun/moon marker as the answer when Hypixel shows one, rather than guessing from the hour.
  • The running event. The strongest signal of the lot. When the Dark Auction starts counting down, /warp da is very nearly something you have already announced — and after a couple of auctions Hex knows it.

Where the event comes from

Hypixel scatters this one, so Hex looks everywhere it is stated:

Source Gives
Player list (Event: widget) The Skyblock-wide event on every island, and how long is left — the best of the four
Boss bar The only place a mining event (2X POWDER, GOBLIN RAID) shows up
Scoreboard The island events that reach it
Chat Shouts an event's start before anything else knows

If you have turned Hypixel's tab-list widgets off, turning them back on makes this noticeably sharper.

An event Hex has never heard of still counts, under whatever name Hypixel used. When two events overlap, the one ending soonest is credited — the mining event with four minutes left, not the festival with three days. One that has not started yet counts only inside the last ten minutes of its countdown.

Rows in the list say which signal did the work, so a suggestion that turns up during a Dark Auction is labelled dark auction, and one that turns up because it is dark is labelled night.

Suggestions the server offers are kept and re-ranked, never thrown away, so a command Hypixel added last week still appears — just in the right place in the list.

What it never records

Message text is never learned.

For /msg, /w, /r, /pc and the like, Hex records the command and who you sent it to, and throws away what you said before anything is written to disk. A command Hex has never heard of records at most its first word, so this holds even for commands from a mod or a server it knows nothing about. Turn Learn player names off and the names go too.

What it has learned lives in config/hex/suggest/model.json and is deliberately not part of config profiles: switching profiles never swaps it, and Copy to clipboard never contains it. Nobody gets a copy of your command history by asking for your settings.

Seeing and changing what it knows

What it has learned… in the Command Suggestions tab (or /hexa suggest dashboard) lists every command line it holds, with how often you use it, when you last did, and what it has associated the command with — island: dwarven mines, holding: TITANIUM_DRILL. Anything wrong can be fixed on the spot:

Control Does
Pin a command to the top of every list it appears in
Block one — never suggested, never recorded again
Forget it
? Show the full arithmetic: every signal, what it was worth, how much it counted for
Forget everything Wipe the lot. Your settings are kept.

/hexa suggest why <text> prints the same arithmetic in chat, for the situation you are actually in.

Settings

All in the Command Suggestions tab of /hexa config:

Setting Notes
Enabled Plus a switch for each of the three surfaces separately
Keep learning Pause to keep the suggestions you have while recording nothing new. Also /hexa suggest pause
List length How many rows the list shows
Inline threshold How confident a guess must be before it is written ahead of your cursor
Adapts How fast old habits fade. Quickly suits play that changes week to week; slowly suits a settled routine
Accept with Tab, the right arrow, or either
Suggest known commands Hex ships knowing the common Skyblock commands so your first session is not blank. Your own use overtakes that within a few dozen commands; switch it off to start from a completely clean slate
Learn player names Off means the recipient of a /msg is not recorded either

Turn the feature off and the chat box behaves exactly as vanilla again, server tab-completion included.

Commands

/hexa suggest stats             — a summary of what has been learned
/hexa suggest dashboard         — open the dashboard
/hexa suggest why <text>        — what it would suggest, and why
/hexa suggest forget <command>  — forget one command line
/hexa suggest clear confirm     — forget everything (settings are kept)
/hexa suggest pause | resume    — stop or start learning
