TabStats
by Directives
TabStats shows Hypixel player statistics in the tab list of Minecraft 1.8.9, read directly from the Hypixel API using a key the player supplies.
What it does
TabStats is a Forge utility for the 1.8.9 client. It reads Hypixel player statistics and displays them in the tab list, so a player can check stats in real time without leaving the game. Only the client needs the mod, and the server is not involved.
The API key is generated in the Hypixel Developer Dashboard and pasted into the in-game TabStats menu, where it is saved to minecraft/tabstats/config.json. The mod works with the Lunar client as well. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.8.9, and the latest is 1.3.0, released on 2025-11-20 after a first release on 2025-09-20. The source code is public, but the license is a custom one, so the project is not open source.
The code is distributed under a custom license by Directives. Requests to port the mod to Weave have been raised by other users, and no port is listed in this catalog.
Key features
Hypixel stats in the tab list
Hypixel stats for each player appear in the tab list, updating while the player plays.
API key menu
An in-game menu accepts a Hypixel API key, which is stored in the mod's config file.
Key generation through the dashboard
Players create the key in the Hypixel Developer Dashboard, so the mod does not need an account of its own.
Lunar client support
The mod works on the Lunar client alongside Forge, in addition to the standard launcher.

How it compares
Hytools is an open source Forge client utility for 1.8.9 under the MIT License, while TabStats is closed to forks under its custom license. Bedwars Mod is also open source for 1.8.9 but under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and focuses on Bedwars rather than tab list statistics. BedWar Mod - Hypixel is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only for the same version, and is likewise built around Bedwars.
