Hypixel Analysis 3.0
Hello again, this will be my 3rd analysis, I will again re-introduce myself as again, there are new people who don't know me and it has been over a year since I posted my second analysis; however, I am Seru, I quit going onto the Vape Forums daily right around March 2021, this is due to the fact that my account was unbanned from Hypixel, and I was able to play Hypixel Skyblock with my friends, and I began to neglect the forums more & more, I got on less and less until I completely stopped for a year in June 2021. The reason I am making this 3rd analysis is because of the way Hypixel has begun to execute punishments on players, specifically for Cheating through the use of unfair game advantages. In the past 4 months beginning in May of 2023, I have purchased 8 accounts accumulating up to ~$3000, mainly because of the Skyblock statistics the accounts had, so you might say that I am really a Hypixel Skyblock enthusiast. This analysis will be split into 2 parts, one for Bans related to Skyblock and the second for Bans unrelated to Skyblock (ex. Bedwars, Duels, Skywars, etc). These 8 accounts that I've purchased have all been banned for Cheating through the use of unfair game advantages. I will link previous guides & analyses below that I've posted over the years because they are still valuable in information.

Bans Related To Skyblock
- Macros, scripts, automation tools, &, etc are made for things in Skyblock such as farming, fishing, foraging, mining, & more. Basically a "Quality of Life" to pretty much not play the game but progress, though, against Hypixel's rules, people still do it. If you are caught macroing, scripting, using automation tools, or even abusing the "F11 Bug" to progress in the game without needing to be attended or in this case "away from keyboard", you will be punished, a variety of punishments may follow, the most common one is Cheating through the use of unfair game advantages or Boosting (your account to improve your stats / detected on one or multiple SkyBlock profiles).
- The Hypixel Administration Team over time has evolved and actually has gotten smarter (surprisingly), and instead of using "captchas" that don't result in a ban, they now do frequent "macro checks" with new ones being added every 2-3 weeks or so. Some examples of these checks are placing a dirt block and stopping you from farming to see if you'd react, rotating you and see if you react, teleporting you to a bedrock cage to see if you'd react, and there are many more checks; however, if you do not react to these checks, they will ban you.
- QOL Mod Developers have also taken steps to create "failsafes", some cheap ones will just disable the macro, and some high-end ones will stop the macro and react to the macro check and pretend to be a real player. Depending on which administrator spectates you, some have passed the check and some haven't, it's all up to chance. It's recommended that you are still attended to your computer to react to these macro checks, so sleeping with it on isn't an option anymore.
- Macro checks are starting to improve, and so are admins as they are now banning even if the failsafe reacts.
- So, how do we (the players) bypass the admins like we did before, well, I'm not sure honestly, my advice is to just macro for only a couple of hours a day and not to do it extensively.
- My personal experience with these macro checks is that I've passed some, but in my most recent ban, dating 2 days ago, I was caught in a ban wave, all staff, and it's believed that they are now relying on "AI" to detect repetitive sequences, and basically just ban out of suspicion without evidence.

Blatant Cheating:
- Blatantly cheating has always been a risky thing to do; however, players still do it and have bypassed punishments and possibly will continue to bypass. Hypixel no longer uses NoCheatPlus, and now only relies on Watch Dog. Watch Dog has always been sort of an anticheat, as players are able to fly across the map without being banned, but that isn't the main point of Watch Dog, as it's only used to detect common blatant and basically shitty client cheats. The actual alert and detection system in Watch Dog is
