How to Install Skytils

A step-by-step guide to downloading and installing Skytils for Hypixel SkyBlock. It covers choosing the right version, setting up Fabric and putting the JAR in the right place.

What is Skytils?

Skytils is a free, open-source Minecraft mod for Hypixel SkyBlock. It adds dungeon puzzle solvers, quality-of-life tools, notifications and extra in-game information. See the full feature overview for details.

It is a client-side mod: you install it on your own game, not on a server. Using any mod on Hypixel is at your own risk, so read the Hypixel rules on allowed modifications first.

Where to get official Skytils downloads

The Skytils team warns that malicious copies of the mod circulate on GitHub. Only download from official sources and check the file hash before installing.

Official Skytils releases are published in these places:

The downloads page on this site mirrors official files unchanged and lists each file's SHA-512 hash so you can verify it.

Choosing your Minecraft version and mod loader

A Skytils build only works on the exact Minecraft version and mod loader it was made for. Decide which edition you want before downloading:

Skytils editions
EditionMinecraftLoaderNotes
Skytils 2.0 (alpha)1.21.11FabricModern versions; features still being added
Skytils 1.x1.8.9ForgeOriginal edition with the full classic feature set

Fabric and Forge mods are not interchangeable. A Fabric build will not load in a Forge profile, and the other way round. Minecraft 26.1, 26.2 and 26.3 do not have official Skytils builds yet; check the compatibility table for the current status.

Installing the Skytils JAR (Fabric)

  1. Download the right Skytils JAR

    Open the Skytils downloads and pick the build that matches your Minecraft version exactly. Right now that is the Skytils 1.21.11 build for Minecraft 1.21.11.

  2. Install Fabric Loader

    Run the official Fabric installer, choose Minecraft 1.21.11, and install it for the Minecraft Launcher. This creates a “fabric-loader” profile.

  3. Add Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin

    Skytils depends on both. Download the versions built for Minecraft 1.21.11 from their official Modrinth pages.

  4. Put all JARs in your mods folder

    Move the Skytils, Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin JARs into the mods folder inside your .minecraft directory. Create the folder if it does not exist.

    Windows
    %APPDATA%\.minecraft\mods
    macOS
    ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
    Linux
    ~/.minecraft/mods

  5. Launch and open the Skytils menu

    Start the game with the Fabric profile, join Hypixel and type /skytils (or /st) to open the Skytils menu.

Using a launcher with instances, such as the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher? Create a Fabric instance for the same Minecraft version and drop the JARs into that instance's mods folder instead.

Troubleshooting

  • The game crashes on launch: make sure Skytils, Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin all match your Minecraft version, and that you are launching the Fabric profile.
  • Skytils does not appear in game: check the JAR is directly inside mods (not in a subfolder) and that it has not been renamed to a .zip.
  • A feature you expected is missing: the Fabric builds are alpha releases, so some classic features are not available yet. See feature availability.
  • Using Forge 1.8.9: install Forge for 1.8.9 and use the Skytils 1.x release from GitHub. Fabric files will not work there.

Getting support

For help, ask in the official Skytils Discord. To report a bug, open an issue on GitHub with your Minecraft version, Skytils version and crash log.
