You can use the bridge from inside Hypixel, without opening Discord. Add a bridge bot as a friend, then send it commands by private message:
The bot answers by private message too.
Private commands are switched on per guild by an admin. If the bot never accepts your friend request, ask staff whether it has been turned on.

​
Becoming friends

The bot accepts your friend request straight away if you are a member of any guild the bridge serves. It does not have to be the bot of your own guild: any bridge bot with private commands on will do. If the bot can’t check the guild rosters right then (for example, a bot is reconnecting), it leaves your request pending rather than accepting it. Hypixel lets the request expire after a few minutes, and you can just send it again. When you leave or are kicked from a bridged guild, the bots remove you as a friend. That keeps their friend lists from filling up, since Hypixel caps how many friends one account can have. If you moved to another bridged guild, send a new request.

​
Commands

Every command starts with !. Type !help for the list, or !help <command> for one command. Short forms work too: !o for !online, !count for !members, !version for !about. !online on its own gives one line per guild, like [SB] 12: Notch, jeb_, ... +4. For everyone, ask for one guild by its tag: !online sb. Long lists come in pages, so use !online sb 2 for the next one.

​
Limits

  • One command every few seconds. Commands sent faster than that are ignored. Some commands, such as !online, have a longer cooldown, and the bot tells you how long to wait.
  • Replies are short. A reply is at most five messages, because every message the bot sends counts toward Hypixel’s spam limit, and the bot shares that limit with guild chat.
  • Members only. If you leave the bridged guilds, the bot stops answering and removes you as a friend.
  • Blacklisted members are refused. If your Minecraft account is linked to a Discord account on the blacklist, the bot says so and does nothing else.
  • There is no in-game way to look up other people’s account links. That stays a bot-admin command (/whois) on Discord.

​
For admins

Switch it on per guild:
It’s off by default, including for guilds registered before this feature existed. /guilds list marks guilds that have it on with 💬. Turn it on for as many guilds as you like. Each bot accepts members of every bridged guild, so one is enough for everybody.
  • Membership is checked every time. It’s checked when the friend request arrives and again on every command, against the live /guild list of every connected guild (cached for five minutes). If the check can’t be completed, the request or command is refused. An accepted friend stays until removed, so failing open here would be permanent.
  • Every accepted and ignored request is logged to the guild’s log channel. An ignored request is logged at most once an hour per player.
  • The friend list is capped by Hypixel. Leavers are removed automatically, but a large guild can still fill a bot’s list. Spread members across several bots by turning the flag on for more than one guild.
  • Replies go through the same rate-limited chat queue as relayed guild chat, so a burst of commands can slow the bridge for a moment. Replies still waiting after 30 seconds are dropped.
