Why Was I Blocked for Suspicious Activity?

Suspicious Activity Account Blocks are issued when our systems or moderation team detect unusual activity on your account, suggesting it may have been compromised. This block protects both your account and the Hypixel community and requires an appeal to be lifted.

How to Appeal a Suspicious Activity Account Block

Before the block on your account can be removed, you will need to create an appeal and go through a recovery period. To get this process started:

1. Create a Hypixel Forum Account: If you don’t already have one, visit https://hypixel.net/create-account to create an account.
2. Link Your Minecraft Account: Visit hypixel.net/link to link your Minecraft account to your forum account.
3. Submit an Appeal: Go to the Hypixel Appeals Section.
4. Fill Out the Form: Provide all the required information.
5. Submit Your Appeal: Wait for your appeal to be reviewed.

Note: The block cannot be lifted until your appeal is approved. Ensure your account is secure before submitting an appeal (see the next section for tips).

How to Secure Your Account

To prevent suspicious activity account blocks and ensure your account’s safety, follow the below steps.

1. Use a Strong, Unique Password

• Avoid using simple or common passwords.
• Do not reuse passwords from other platforms.
• Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords.

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

• Log in to your Microsoft account at https://account.microsoft.com/.
• Enable 2FA to add an extra layer of protection.

3. Avoid Sharing Your Account

• Never share your account credentials, even with friends or family.
• Remember, you are responsible for all activity on your account.

4. Be Cautious of Phishing Attempts

• Only log in to trusted websites (e.g., Mojang, Microsoft, or Hypixel).
• Ignore messages or links claiming to offer free ranks, items, or accounts.

5. Monitor Your Account Activity

• Regularly review your login history via your Microsoft account.
• If you notice suspicious activity, change your password immediately.

6. Avoid Using Unsecure Mods or Clients

• Use only secure mods or clients to avoid malware or hacks that could compromise your account.
