HousingUtil
by cookieCrood
HousingUtil is a Forge client-side utility for Hypixel housing on Minecraft 1.8.9, with protocol helpers, block tools and inventory aids.
What it does
Players who build on Hypixel housing plots can use HousingUtil to work faster. Tools for the housing protocol are grouped together here, covering helpers that read and send the data housing menus expect, a clearer overlay that outlines the area being edited, and automatic swapping of block names for their matching block IDs.
The mod also adds a set of commands for filling and setting blocks, a Data Value tab in the inventory, and detection that warns when a crasher-style exploit may be in use. It runs only on the client, so a housing server needs nothing installed for the mod to work.
HousingUtil requires OneConfig, and its files exist only for Forge 1.8.9, released as version 1.0 on 2026-08-22. The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places no restrictions on use, and it is not open source.
Key features
Protocol helpers
Helpers handle the data exchanged with the housing server, so custom housing actions can be read and sent from within the client.
Selection overlay
A clearer overlay highlights the region being selected, making edits across a plot easier to follow.
Block name replacement
Block names in chat and menus are swapped for their matching IDs automatically.
Editing commands
Commands such as set and fill place blocks by ID across a chosen area, without placing each one by hand.
Data Value inventory tab
An extra inventory tab shows data values for the items being handled.
Exploit detection
Built-in checks warn about crasher-style behavior and certain cheating patterns that the author describes as prevention features.

Who it’s for: The mod suits players who build on Hypixel housing and want protocol helpers and editing commands on Minecraft 1.8.9 with Forge. Only the client needs it, so a player can use it alone and join any housing server without asking the server owner to install anything.
