safari king
Safari King is a Fabric client mod for Hypixel SkyBlock that highlights critters, entities and hideaways in the Safari area of the game world.
What it does
Hypixel SkyBlock players in the Safari area can spot the critters and hideaways they are after. The features are location-gated, so they stay inactive outside the places they target. Highlights apply only to entities and chunks the server has already sent to the client. Tracked entities use Minecraft's vanilla glow pass, and the outline stays visible behind blocks, in the same way the Rockmite Mound highlight works in Skyblocker. A highlight fades once a tracked entity is no longer loaded on the client, and highlighted targets stay renderable up to 128 blocks from the player.
Safari King requires the Hypixel Mod API and is published for Fabric only, for 26.1.2. The server and every player need the mod installed. Individual helpers can be switched on or off through Mod Menu, and the Pangolins option is set the same way.
Key features
Safari critter highlights
Critters such as Snoozle and the Current Critter in the Scrappy Forest and Cavern Safari are outlined when they are in range.
Hideaway detection
Hideaways in the Haunted, Torrhus Canyon and Pangolin areas are marked, with a floor drop string shown for hidden spots.
Entity outlines behind blocks
Tracked entities keep a visible outline through walls and terrain, using the vanilla glow pass.
Per-helper settings
Each helper can be configured separately through Mod Menu, so players keep only the highlights they want.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Hypixel SkyBlock players who spend time in the Safari areas and want visual aids for critters and hideaways. The mod is for the client side, and servers need it as well to keep the environment consistent.
How it compares
Critter Mod is open source under the MIT License, runs on Fabric for 26.1.2 – 26.2, and is client-side only, so servers do not need it. CritterUniqueHUD is also client-side only, for Fabric 26.1.2 – 26.2, and is not open source. Safari Cobblemon is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 that runs on client and server, under the MIT License, but it is not open source and targets a different game version range.
