Minecraft 1.8.9 · Forge & Lunar

Know who's in your lobby before the beds go down.

Prowl replaces the Tab list with a live Hypixel Bed Wars stats table: stars, FKDR, winstreak and Urchin tags for every player in your game, filled in automatically.

v1.0.0 · Windows x64 · Bring your own Hypixel API key

Everything you need in the Tab list

Hold Tab and the whole lobby is there. Prowl works out who's in your game and looks them up in the background.

Full Bed Wars stats

Level with real prestige colors, FKDR, WLR, winstreak, kills, final kills, beds broken and HP.

Automatic roster

Reads /who, waiting-lobby chat and name mentions, so new players show up without you doing anything.

Urchin tags

Flags players tagged in the Urchin database, such as snipers or known cheaters, right next to their name.

Gentle on your API key

Rate-limited, cached lookups with a 20-minute stats cache that persists between sessions. It stays well under Hypixel's limits.

In-game settings

Press L or Insert to set API keys, reorder or hide columns, and look up any player.

Your keys stay local

No keys are built in. Your Hypixel and Urchin keys are saved only in your own config folder.

Before you download

Windows SmartScreen or your antivirus may warn about Prowl.exe. Unsigned programs that attach to other programs often get flagged even when they're harmless. Check that the SHA-256 on the left matches your download.

Prowl only reads chat and the Tab list and draws an overlay. It has no movement, combat or other gameplay modules.

Third-party clients and injected tools may be against the rules of some servers and launchers. Read their rules before you use Prowl.

FAQ

 

Is Prowl a cheat client?

No. Prowl adds no gameplay modules. It shows public Hypixel stats in the Tab list, the same data you could get by looking players up yourself.

Where do I get a Hypixel API key?

Create one on the Hypixel Developer Dashboard, then set it with /pr key <key> or in the settings menu. Prowl stores it only on your PC.

Some players show "—" for a while. Why?

Lookups are queued and rate-limited so your key doesn't get throttled. In a full lobby the last few players can take a few seconds. Players you saw in the last 20 minutes load instantly from the cache.

What does Urchin do?

Urchin is a community database of tagged players, such as known snipers or cheaters. If you add an Urchin key, Prowl shows those tags next to player names.

Which versions are supported?

Minecraft 1.8.9 on Forge and Lunar Client, on 64-bit Windows. Other versions and launchers aren't supported.

How do I know about updates?

Each time Prowl is injected, it checks this site for a newer version and posts a clickable notice in chat if one exists. It only notifies you and never turns off features.
