GuessTheUtils
by aembr
GuessTheUtils is a Fabric utility that changes the Hypixel Guess the Build scoreboard during rounds, and it runs on the client alone.
What it does
When the player is in a Guess the Build round on Hypixel, the mod recognizes the game and replaces the vanilla sidebar scoreboard with its own layout. The replacement shows extra details for each player, including whether they have left the round or gone inactive, their title and emblem, and the points gained so far, along with the round total. The Hypixel language must be set to English for detection to work.
Holding the Player List key, which defaults to Tab, expands the scoreboard so that more information is visible at once. The mod requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) and can use Mod Menu to open its settings, so the options can be reached from the mod list. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Builds cover game versions 1.21 – 1.21.8, with the latest Fabric file, 0.9.6, targeting 1.21.8.
