Hytools
by udu3324
Hytools is a Forge utility for Hypixel that bundles several client-side helpers, including a party guesser, a nick scanner and a chat-message tool.
What it does
Hytools is a client-side Forge mod for Minecraft 1.8.9 that adds tools aimed at the Hypixel server. Its features are switched on and off through the OneConfig interface. Because it runs only on the client, players install it themselves and the server needs nothing. Forge mods can be placed in the mods folder of a Forge 1.8.9 client, which is the only loader and only game version the project publishes for.
The party guesser looks at chat messages and tries to work out which players belong to a party, and it checks the first player in a party against the other players. Its guesses are not always right, and the author reports that it works about 73 percent of the time. The nick tools alert the player when someone in the lobby appears to be nicked, and a command scans the players in a game for nicks. The author recommends running the scan just before a game starts, because NPCs are scanned as well. The nick alert uses a Hypixel API that was removed during an API rework, so that part no longer works as before.
Key features
Party guesser
Guesses which chat players are in the same party by checking the first player in a party against the others.
Nick scanner command
A command takes the players in the current game and scans them for nicknames, run right before a game starts.
Nick alert
Alerts the player when someone joins the lobby with a nick, and tries to reveal the real name in chat.
Chat message interpretation
Applies its own interpretation to Hypixel chat messages, so the output reflects the mod's reading of them.
