Good to know

  • Get a free API key in the Urchin Discord with /grant and paste it into API Key. Without a key the mod does nothing.
  • The key also unlocks /tag add, /tag edit and /tag remove.
  • Skip My Party (on) never announces your party members or you.
Chat Alerts: Party Chat really sends the message to your party. Only Me shows a line only you can see.

Run OnWhere Urchin looks players up. Hypixel Only (default) = Urchin runs solely on Hypixel — its data is Hypixel-focused and this is the only place its ping replacement is meaningful.
