No Ping Improvement for Hypixel (Minecraft) | Need Help with Settings

Technical Support
1

Hi,

I live in Switzerland and I’ve been trying to use Mudfish to lower my ping when playing Minecraft on the Hypixel server (I’m located in Europe, and Hypixel is in the US). Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any improvements at all, my ping stays around 125–140 ms no matter what I try.

Here’s what I’ve tested:

  • Full VPN mode
  • FastConnect mode
  • WFP item mode
  • Various nodes (including the recommended ones and US East - Chicago Linode, as shown in the screenshot)

I also experimented with automatic and manually selected nodes, but none of the configurations had any noticeable effect.

Interestingly, when I connect or disconnect Mudfish, Hypixel doesn’t kick me out like it does when using ExitLag. This makes me suspect that Mudfish might not be properly routing the traffic, or something is not set up correctly.

For comparison, the ExitLag free trial gave me about a 10% ping reduction, so I know there is room for improvement.

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated! Maybe there are specific nodes, settings, or tricks that work better with Hypixel?

Thanks in advance.

Could you please confirm that it’s also same with Full VPN mode enabled?

If it works fine with Full VPN mode enabled, it means there’s something a problem in the game item of Mudfish.

For that case, I need to collect some game packets using Packet Capture with Mudfish.

Yes, it was the very same. I could see the traffic of the applications on the dashboard, but thats it.
Let me take a look at it after work, I’ll provide you everything you require.
Thank you!

@czbalu2001 Do you know the game server IP? If then, I think we can try to measure a RTT from mudfish nodes at https://ping.mudfish.net/

looks like they use cloudflare proxy with range 172.65.192.0/20 so no sever ip : <

I made a ~20m long Packet dump file.

Yep it means that it’s using cloudflare’s anycast network. :frowning: So it looks like it’s not easy to know the game server IP.

However is there any in-game built-in value to show your ping? If then, I think you need to test with various mudfish nodes…

Yes it does have, and as I’ve already written, I’ve tested with different nodes and settings, I could watch my ping real-time while testing

thought I’d offer my two cents on this: i live in Singapore and my Hypixel ping stays around 220 without mudfish and dropped to about 195 with. the option with the best ping for me was Advanced Mode with My Computer → JP ASIA (Tokyo HostHatch*) → US EAST (Chicago *) → Hypixel. I recommend enabling Advanced Mode support for path RTT calculation because it usually gives quite a decent ping boost. if you want to test Hypixel ping from the command line, ping the server mt.mc.production.hypixel.io. this is the actual server link (you can tell by the massive ping difference).
