The plugins Hypixel recommends for servers

Reviewed October 26, 2026 1 min read

The official manual lists plugins maintained by Hypixel's development partners Nitrado and Apex Hosting for common server hosting needs.

The list

Nitrado:WebServer

A base plugin for web applications and APIs.

Nitrado:Query

Exposes the server's status (player counts and so on) over HTTP.

Nitrado:PerformanceSaver

Dynamically limits view distance based on resource usage.

ApexHosting:PrometheusExporter

Exposes detailed server and JVM metrics.

The one most servers benefit from

View distance is the biggest RAM driver, so PerformanceSaver is the most useful of the four for a typical community server.

Worth knowing

Install them like any other mod: put the file in mods/ and restart.
