Frequently Asked Questions
How SkyAH works, how to set up the mod, what the charts mean, and how accounts work.
Deals & Flipping
SkyAH scans the auction house around the clock and checks every new listing against what matching items actually sold for. When a listing sits clearly below that value, it shows up in the terminal within seconds, together with the sale history behind the price.
SkyAH does not just compare base item prices. It looks at the modifiers on an auction, such as stars, recombs, enchants, attributes, and similar upgrades, then compares that setup against matching sold-item history. The result is a more useful valuation than a simple base-price guess.
No. Markets fluctuate constantly, and flipping always carries risk. SkyAH helps you compare new listings with historical sales data, but the final decision and the final outcome are still yours.
Proceed with caution. Low-volume items can yield massive profits but are high-risk. If demand dries up, you may be stuck holding the item for days. These are best left to experienced flippers who know that specific item's market well.
The biggest-margin flips are for members. Sign in for free with Google or Discord to see their buy price, profit and targets. There is no payment.
Deal Alerts play a sound or show a popup when a deal above your minimum profit in coins and/or ROI appears in the terminal. Turn them on with the alert button on the deals page. Your settings are saved in this browser.
Mod & API
It is a free Fabric mod that shows every deal SkyAH finds as a line in your game chat: profit, item, price, sell target, floor and sales per day. Hover a line to see every number, click it to open the auction. Filters, ready-made profiles, a deal hotkey and an optional screen alert are in the menu (press K). The mod never buys for you.
Link your Minecraft account in Settings, create your key on the Mod & API page and download the file that matches your Minecraft version. Put it in your mods folder, start the game, press K, open Account & key and click Paste key. Deals show up in your chat right away.
The Mod & API page lists one download per supported Minecraft version, together with what you need to run it (Fabric Loader, Fabric API and Java). When you update, delete the old SkyAH file from your mods folder first.
A key is live for 2 hours at a time. You renew it on the Mod & API page with one small bid on an auction we pick for you. It is the same key, so there is nothing to set up again. The mod shows the time left and warns you 10 minutes before it runs out.
The mod is open source on GitHub. You can build it yourself and get the exact same file, so its checksum matches the one on the Mod & API page. It only shows deals in chat and never buys or clicks for you. As with any mod, use it at your own risk.
Yes. The mod reads a WebSocket feed with one JSON message per deal, and you can connect to it with your own key. The address and an example message are on the Mod & API page. It is not a supported product and can change or stop at any time.
Account & Minecraft
Yes. SkyAH is free. We may later support the project through ads or donations, but there are no paid plans.
The main deals view works without signing in. An account unlocks top-value flips, the flip tracker, your mod key, and selling and chatting on the marketplace.
Open Settings and enter your Minecraft name. To prove the account is yours, verify it with a small in-game action: you get a 4-digit code and either bid an exact amount on a cheap auction we pick, or create any auction whose starting price ends in your code. It takes about a minute and costs almost nothing.
Open Settings, file a reclaim for that name and prove ownership with the in-game verification. Once the proof goes through, the name moves to your account.
Go to Account Settings (click your avatar in the top right) and scroll to the Danger Zone. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data there. This action is irreversible.
Tools
Sign in and link your Minecraft account. SkyAH then detects every buy and sell you make on the auction house, matches them into flips and calculates your profit. You do not have to enter anything by hand.
It ranks SkyAH flippers by net profit from their tracked flips, weekly, monthly and all-time.
Enter any SkyBlock username to inspect that player's items, armor sets, pets and inventories, each valued with live auction house data.
Use the item search or the price pages. Every traded item has its own page with median prices, sale counts and a chart of real sales, and the price pages group items into weapons, armor, accessories, pets and more.
A player-to-player marketplace for minions, rare items and services. Listings come with craft-cost pricing and fair-price ratings, and buyers and sellers talk in a built-in chat. Some categories need a verified Minecraft account.
Data & Terminology
Target Price is the relisting price SkyAH suggests for a practical resale. Median is the median sold price from comparable recent sales. Volume shows how many similar setups sell per day, which helps you judge how liquid that market is.
Each dot represents a real historical sale. The color shows how quickly it sold: green within an hour, yellow within 4 hours, orange within 8 hours, red within a day, and dark red for anything slower. The amber line shows the daily average across the visible sale days. Hover a point to inspect the exact sale price and timestamp.
Yes. Dark mode and cherry mode work without signing in. Your chosen theme is saved in a browser cookie so it stays active across visits.
Technical & Troubleshooting
First, clear your search and filters, since strict profit, volume, rarity, or BIN filters can hide every result. The deals page syncs automatically, so if it is still empty after a normal reload, the upstream auction data may be delayed or temporarily unavailable.
Check that your key is still live (press K, Account & key) and that your filters are not too strict. Type /skyah status to see the connection and /skyah reconnect to connect again. One key allows one connection, so starting a second game closes the first one. /skyah test shows two example deals.
Our valuation accounts for the full auction house fee on the sell price: the listing fee (1% to 2.5% depending on price) plus the 1% claiming tax on sales above 1,000,000 coins, so what you see is the net profit after fees. If you believe a specific item is being mispriced, it may have an unusual modifier combination that hasn't been captured by historical data yet.
