Registered guilds share a Discord channel. They do not share their guild chat unless you switch it on — and then a message in one is repeated into the others, so members of different guilds can talk to each other in-game without anybody watching Discord.

​
Turning it on

It is a per-guild flag, and it takes at least two:
/guilds edit tells you when a guild is the only one sharing so far. /guilds list marks the participating guilds with 🔁.

​
What it looks like in-game

The source guild’s tag goes in front of the speaker’s name, where Hypixel already puts rank brackets, so it reads as part of who is talking rather than as something they said. A member of two bridged guilds can tell a forwarded line from a local one at a glance.

​
The rules

  • Off by default, including for guilds registered before this existed. Upgrading never starts forwarding chat between guilds that were only meant to share a Discord channel.
  • It takes two. One guild with the flag on shares with nobody.
  • The flag is symmetric — both directions at once. A guild that does not send its chat elsewhere does not receive anyone else’s either. That is deliberate: if it were one-directional, switching it off on your own row would not stop your guild’s chat being pushed everywhere, and a guild could be kept in the arrangement against its will.
  • Player chat only. Join and leave announcements stay in the guild they happened in. They are noise elsewhere, and they would spend the per-account chat budget that real messages need.
  • Chat commands are not forwarded either. The answer carries the question with it, so nothing is lost.
  • Real names. A running global profile change does not rename forwarded chat. Its two switches govern the two Discord legs of the bridge only.

​
Late messages are dropped

A forwarded line still waiting in a bot’s outbound queue ten seconds after it was handed over is discarded rather than sent. Guild chat is a conversation: a reply landing a minute after the thing it answers is confusing rather than late. And without a ceiling, one guild being spammed would push every other guild’s bridge further and further behind, since each account can only speak about once every 600ms. If you see forwarded chat going missing during a busy period, that is what happened. The fix is fewer messages, not a bigger queue.

​
Rate and cost

Every forwarded line costs one chat packet in each receiving guild. Three cross-bridged guilds turn one message into two forwards; four turn it into three. Hypixel mutes accounts that talk too fast, which is why the queue spaces packets out per account and why late lines are dropped instead of accumulating.

​
Turning it off

Immediate, and both directions — that guild stops sending and stops receiving. The other guilds carry on with each other if two or more of them still have it on.
