Is Proxhy safe? Will I get banned?
Proxhy works as a local proxy, sitting between your Minecraft client and Hypixel's server. It reads and lightly modifies packets to add features like tab list stats, but doesn't automate gameplay or give you an unfair advantage over other players.
That said, no third-party tool is ever officially endorsed by Hypixel, so use your own judgment.
macOS says Proxhy.app is "damaged" and won't open
That's Gatekeeper flagging the app because it isn't signed with an Apple Developer certificate yet — the app itself is fine. After moving it to Applications, open Terminal and run:
xattr -cr /Applications/Proxhy.appThen open it normally. You only need to do this once per download.
Does Proxhy cost anything?
No, Proxhy is free forever. No paid tiers, no exclusive features. Source code is fully open on GitHub.
What Minecraft version does it support?
1.8.9 only, but it works with any 1.8.9 client: vanilla, Lunar, Badlion, Forge, whatever you already play on. Proxhy runs separately from your client and connects through it.
Do I need a Hypixel API key?
Certain features, like /sc stat lookups and the Bed
Wars tab list stats do require a free API key. You can grab one at developer.hypixel.net and Proxhy stores it securely in your system's keyring,
not in a plaintext file.
How do updates work?
If you're using the app, you'll be notified when a
new update is available and prompt you to re-launch. If you
installed via uv, rerun the uvx command or run uv upgrade proxhy to
get the latest version.
Can people find my IP address through broadcasts?
By default, anyone savvy enough can look up your broadcast connection details to send a join or invite request. If that's not something you want, turn on the Compass whitelist in settings. Once enabled, only players you've explicitly allowed can find your IP.

Can I contribute?
