Zombies Helper for beginners + Tracker

Important: For the mod to work correctly (tracking kills, rounds, and map detection), your Hypixel language must be set to English. You can change this in-game by typing /lang or using /profile.

Background

I was tired of queueing into Hypixel Zombies and getting matched with random teammates who clearly had no idea what they were doing… I also got tired of constantly alt-tabbing just to remember the AA strategy, so I made this...

Hypixel Zombies Helper + Tracker is the ultimate all-in-one companion for Hypixel Zombies. It goes far beyond simple stat checking: it provides an intelligent Lobby Stats HUD with automatic player sorting, a real-time Session Tracker for your gold and kills, a dynamic Win Chance estimator, and a built-in Strategy Guide.

Whether you're looking to avoid bad lobbies, track your personal growth with the new Gold Earned counter, or show off your progress on Discord with our advanced Rich Presence, this mod is built for serious players and beginners alike. Now featuring Multi-Language Support (English, Spanish, French, German) and ultra-fast parallel API lookups.

Features

• Strategy Guide & Custom Support: Displays the standard AAEco strategy for Alien Arcadium or your own custom JSON strategies placed in .minecraft/config/zombieshelper/example.json.
• Lobby Stats HUD: Automatically shows every teammate's Best Round, Wins, Kills, and Fastest Win (now tracking your best time across Normal, Hard, and RIP) the moment you join a lobby. Includes a live loading counter (2/4) and clearly labels (Nicked) players.
• Win Chance HUD: A compact percentage bar that appears in the lobby, estimating your team's probability of success based on a blend of Best Round and total Wins.
• Discord Rich Presence: Your Discord status now dynamically reflects your game state (e.g., "Playing Alien Arcadium | Round 18 | Kills: 214"). This is a zero-dependency implementation that works out of the box.
• Session Logger: A dedicated HUD panel to track your progress across your current play session, including Games Played, Wins, WLR, Kills, and Session Time.
• In-Game Stat Lookup: Type /zh w <player> anytime to pull up a full stat sheet across all maps (Dead End, Bad Blood, Alien Arcadium, Prison) — including downs, revives, doors, windows, kills, deaths, best round, wins, and best fastest win time.
• Smart Player Detection & Speed: The mod uses a parallel triple API lookup and session-based caching to identify players up to 3x faster. It returns results as soon as the first API responds, making the HUD appear nearly instantly.
• Fully Customizable UI: Move the HUDs wherever you want or change their size from the OneConfig menu. Press Z (or type /zh) to open it.
• English & Spanish Support: The mod is fully bilingual. You can swap the language from the OneConfig menu.

Setup

You'll need a Hypixel API key for the stat tracker to work.

1. Go to the Hypixel Developer Portal and create a personal API key.
2. Press Z in-game (or type /zh) to open the mod menu, paste the key into the Hypixel API Key field, and click Apply.

Custom Strategies

You can now use your own round-by-round instructions!

1. Create a JSON file following the strategy format.
2. Place it in .minecraft/config/zombieshelper_strategies/.
3. Select your custom strategy in the OneConfig menu under Strategies.

Commands

The mod is controlled via the /zh command (aliases: /zs, /zombieshelper). You can also press Z at any time to open the configuration menu directly. The keybind can be changed from Minecraft's Controls settings.

Command	Description
/zh w <player>	Opens a full stat sheet for the specified player across all Zombies maps.
/zh debug	Prints internal game-state info (current map, round, scoreboard lines) to help diagnose issues.

FAQ

Is this mod allowed / bannable on Hypixel?

This mod is completely client-side. It simply reads the public tab-list and pulls information officially from the Hypixel API, without sending any weird packets or modifying gameplay mechanics. Like all mods, it is technically "use at your own risk," but it functions identically to standard HUD overlays.

How is the Win Chance calculated?

The Win Chance HUD blends each teammate's Best Round (60%) and total Wins (40%) into a probability score. We use realistic ceilings (30 rounds / 50 wins) to keep the percentage accurate. Players identified as (Nicked) contribute a neutral 40% to keep the estimate fair.

Why does a player show up as "(Nicked)"?

If the mod labels a player as (Nicked), it means their in-game name was definitively confirmed to not exist across multiple lookup APIs. This is a very reliable indicator that the player is using a nick. If the APIs simply fail due to a network error, the mod will inform you instead of incorrectly labeling them as nicked.

Why does a player show up with 0 / 0 / 0 stats?

This usually means one of three things: they have never played Zombies, they are nicked, or the API request timed out. The mod automatically retries up to 3 times before giving up.

I am getting an API Error (Code 403), what does it mean?

A 403 means your Hypixel API key has expired or is invalid. Open the /zh menu, paste a new key into the Hypixel API Key field, and click Apply.

The Strategy Guide isn't showing up?

The guide appears once you are in a match and the first round has started. Ensure that:

1. The HUD is enabled in the /zh menu.
2. You have a valid strategy selected (Official or Custom).
3. You are playing on a map that has a strategy defined.

Can I use this on other Minecraft servers?

No, this mod is strictly built around Hypixel's scoreboard format and API.

Does it work in all languages?

While the mod has Multi-Language Support (English, Spanish, French, German), for the most stable and accurate experience, it is highly recommended to set your Hypixel language to English. You can change it in-game using /lang or through /profile.
