What is a Hypixel proxy?
A proxy is an app that works between your client and Hypixel's servers, reading and sometimes modifying information that passes between them. This allows it to change what the client sees in-game: tab list contents, particles in the world, chat messages, and anything else!
Will I get banned if I use Proxhy?
Proxhy does not automate gameplay or give you an unfair advantage over other players.
That said, third-party tools are rarely ever officially endorsed by Hypixel, so use your own judgment.
Is Proxhy safe?
Yes, Proxhy is safe. If you'd like to look for yourself, all of the source code is publicly available on GitHub.
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.
Why am I getting the message python3.14 wants to use your confidential
information stored in "proxhy" in your
keychain?
Proxhy stores sensitive information such as your Hypixel API key in your operating system's secure credential store (Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, Secret Service on Linux) instead of saving it in a plaintext file.
On macOS, the first time Proxhy tries to read a
stored credential, you may see a prompt saying
that python3.14 wants to access confidential
information stored in the
proxhy
keychain item. This happens because Proxhy currently
runs on Python, and macOS shows the underlying executable
making the request.
This is expected behavior and is simply Proxhy retrieving credentials that were previously saved with your permission.
Why am I getting the message
Allow "proxhy-launcher" to find devices on
local networks?
Some Proxhy features, such as broadcasting, need
to connect to other devices. On macOS, apps that
communicate with other devices must request
Local Network permission. proxhy-launcher is the internal name for the application you use
to run Proxhy.
Does Proxhy cost anything?
No, Proxhy is free forever, and the 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, or whatever else you already play on. Proxhy runs separately from your client and connects through it.
Why do I have to log into Proxhy?
Proxhy sits between your Minecraft client and Hypixel, acting as your client. This means it needs to log into Hypixel as your client, requiring your credentials.
Your login is only used to authenticate with Minecraft and join servers as you. Proxhy securely stores your login locally, in your system keyring.
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 will securely store it in your system
keyring.
Can other people see my IP address when broadcasting?
Yes. Because broadcasting uses direct peer-to-peer connections, anyone savvy enough who joins your broadcast or has you in their broadcast may be able to obtain your IP address. Your IP address is not exposed when someone sends you a broadcast invite or join request.
Only join broadcasts hosted by people you trust, and only invite trusted people to spectate your games. If you're concerned about privacy, avoid broadcasting with strangers.
How do updates work?
You'll be notified when a new update is available in the launcher and in game. To update:
If you're using the app, click the ↺ Update proxhy button.
If you installed via uv, rerun
the uvx command or run uv upgrade proxhy to get the latest version.
