Nautilus
by Empa_
Nautilus adds Hypixel SkyBlock fishing aids to the Forge client, covering hotspot tracking, timers and drop logging.
What it does
Nautilus is a Forge utility for players of Hypixel SkyBlock who fish. It covers the fishing side of the game in one place: a fishing overlay, a lootshare range display, a timer for better fishing, and a tracker that logs rare drops as they happen. Hotspot sharing and a warning for hotspots that disappear are included, along with an invincibility timer. Only the client needs it, so players install it while servers run without it.
Installation requires SkyHanni for Hypixel SkyBlock, which must be present alongside Nautilus. Files are published for Forge only, and the single build line is 1.8.9, with 0.0.16 as the latest file, dated 2025-09-27. The first release came on 2025-05-21. The source code is public and the project is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Fishing overlay
A Hypixel SkyBlock fishing screen gathers the fishing information players need while they cast.
Lootshare range display
The range within which a lootshare applies is drawn on screen, so players can see who shares a catch.
Better fishing timer
A timer tracks the fishing cooldown, helping players time their next cast.
Rare drops tracker
Rare drops are logged as they are caught, giving a record of a session's notable finds.
Hotspot sharing and alerts
Hotspots can be shared with other players, and a warning appears when a hotspot disappears.

Players working together on hotspots can share their locations and watch for ones that vanish.
Who it’s for: Hypixel SkyBlock players who fish, and players who run the SkyHanni companion mod and want its fishing features extended with timers and trackers.
How it compares

Nautilus differs by focusing on fishing for Hypixel SkyBlock rather than general quality-of-life tools. ravenAddons is a Forge client mod for 1.8.9 under the MIT License, also open source, and it covers a broader set of SkyBlock features beyond fishing.
