SkyQuill
by vaclavak
SkyQuill is a Forge quality-of-life mod for Hypixel SkyBlock on Minecraft 1.8.9, adding alerts, counters and in-game commands.
What it does
Hypixel SkyBlock players get alerts for dungeon events, such as a Blood Room being cleared, along with a running in-game counter for powder chests found while powder mining. Scam protection warns players about the Overflux Capacitor scam, and more scam protections are planned.
The mod provides several in-game commands to manage its features and monitor progress. Its author designed it to follow Hypixel's rules on allowed modifications, and it does not offer macros, auto-clickers or other unfair advantages. SkyQuill is released under the Apache License 2.0, so its source code and issue tracker are both publicly available.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and servers do not. It is published for Forge on 1.8.9 only, with 1.0.3 as the latest alpha file, dated 2025-09-24. The first release came out on 2025-09-06.
