FAQ

Is Hex allowed on Hypixel?

Hex is designed to comply with the Hypixel Server Rules on allowed modifications. It displays information the game already gives you and improves quality of life — no automation, no unfair advantage, nothing that plays for you. That said, use at your own risk: no third-party mod is officially endorsed by Hypixel.

Do other players need Hex?

No. Hex is client-side only. It has no server half, no main entrypoint, and nothing it does is visible to anyone else. Item customization in particular changes only what your client draws — everyone else sees your item exactly as it was.

Does Hex send my data anywhere?

The only network traffic Hex makes is to GitHub, to check for and download a new release (auto-update) — and you can turn that off. Everything else, including everything command suggestions learns, stays in config/hex/ on your machine.

Does it work outside Skyblock?

Mostly. The general features — config profiles, keybind shortcuts, control switches, attack mode, freecam, hand display, reminders, regions — work anywhere, including singleplayer.

Features that read Skyblock's own data need Skyblock: per-item swing, item customization, island-based triggers and conditions, and the Skyblock signals inside command suggestions.

Does Hex require Mod Menu?

No. Mod Menu is optional. With it installed, its settings button opens Hex's config menu; without it, Hex behaves identically. It is not bundled and not listed as a dependency.

How do I open the settings if I am not in a world?

From the title screen: Options → the small □ button next to Done. That is the only way in from the title screen, since /hexa config needs a chat box and the keybind needs a world.

Why is nothing bound to a key?

Every Hex keybind ships unbound, on purpose — a mod should not take keys from you on install. Bind what you want under Options → Controls → Hex. See Keybinds.

I changed a setting and it did not save

That is the design. Settings apply immediately but are not written into your profile until you press Save on the Profiles screen. A * next to the profile name means you have unsaved changes. See Config profiles.

Why did my profile not switch when I warped?

Three possible reasons, all deliberate:

1. You have unsaved changes — auto-switching is skipped rather than losing them, and you get a message instead.
2. You switched profiles by hand this session, which turns auto-switching off until you disconnect.
3. Another profile higher in the list claims the same place.

Can I customize a stackable item?

No. Customizations are keyed on the item's UUID, which Hypixel gives only to non-stackable items — that is exactly what makes a customization follow your Hyperion rather than every Hyperion. Pressing the key on a stackable item says so rather than storing something that could never apply.

Why does opening the item editor close the chest I was in?

Minecraft tells the server a container is closed the moment another screen replaces it. Nothing is lost besides your place in that menu — the customization is saved against the item's UUID either way. See Item customization.

Does command suggestions read my messages?

No. It records the command and, for /msg-style commands, who you sent it to — the message text is thrown away before anything is written to disk. A command it has never heard of records at most its first word. Turn Learn player names off and the recipients go too.

Will sharing my settings share my command history?

No. Copy to clipboard contains profiled settings only. What command suggestions has learned, your item customizations, your reminder countdowns and your updater settings are all left out. See Config files.

Does the freecam let me see through walls?

It moves your view, nothing more. It shows what your client already knows — nothing is revealed that the server has not already sent to you.

Do the hand settings affect my damage or reach?

No. Position, scale, rotation and swing are purely cosmetic. Attack cooldown, mining speed and reach are untouched.

How do I translate Hex into my language?

Copy en_us.json, translate the values, keep the keys and their order identical, and open a pull request. See Translating.

Where do I report a bug or ask for a feature?

GitHub issues. Check Troubleshooting first, and include your Hex version (/hexa prints it) and your logs/latest.log.
