HyCord
by DeDiamondPro
With HyCord, Hypixel players get a Discord rich presence that shows their game activity, plus join and friend-list tools that work through the server.
What it does
HyCord is a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.8.9 that links the game to Discord. It adds a customizable rich presence, which lets a player choose what their Discord status shows while playing on Hypixel. The mod works alongside Hypixel and adds the Discord integration on top of the server's own features.
Friends can be handled from the game: the mod can automatically add friends to the Hypixel friend list, and an Ask to join button in the profile lets a player request an invitation into the other person's game. A nickname system lets a player name friends with any text and any color, which helps keep track of people across the list.
The mod runs on the client only, so players install it and servers do not need anything. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Its one published line, 1.2.0, targets 1.8.9 on Forge and dates from 2021-11-04, with the first release from 2021-07-23.
