02 Installation

1

Create your BFM account

Sign up on the account page with your Minecraft username, an email, and a password. Discord is optional and can be linked later.

2

Buy a license

Pick a plan on the pricing page. Checkout is handled by Stripe and access attaches to your account instantly.

3

Download BFM

Head to the Download page while signed in and grab BFM.jar, right in your browser, no Discord needed.

4

Install Fabric & drop the file

Launch a Fabric 1.21.1 instance on Windows (CurseForge or Prism Launcher) with Fabric API, then place BFM.jar in your mods folder.

5

Launch & sign in

Start the instance and log in to BFM with your account. You can link additional Minecraft accounts in-game from your account page.

6

Join Hypixel & open the HUD

Join Hypixel SkyBlock and press Right Shift to open the BFM overlay.

7

Flip

BFM automatically finds and executes the best bazaar flips for you. Sit back and let it work, then tune settings with the User Guide.

03 Account & Licensing

Creating an account

Create your BFM account on the sign-up page. You'll need a valid email, your Minecraft username, and a password. Discord is optional.

Purchasing a license

Choose a plan on the pricing page: 1 Month - $11.99, 3 Months - $29.99, or Lifetime - $89.99. Payments are processed through Stripe and BFM never stores your card details.

No auto-renewal

BFM does not use subscriptions or auto-billing. Timed licenses simply expire at the end of their period, to keep going, buy a new license from the website. Your account, settings and data are preserved between purchases.

License verification

Your license is verified each time the mod starts. The loader checks your hardware ID (HWID) and Minecraft UUID against the server automatically.

License & HWID policy

Your license is tied to your HWID. On the same HWID you can link and use as many Minecraft accounts as you want under a single license, with no set limit. Using the same license on a different HWID won't work, if you change computers, contact support for an HWID reset.

04 Discord

Discord isn't required to run BFM, but it's where support and updates live, joining is recommended. Server: discord.gg/ywwHkjZBms

Why link it

Linking Discord to your account lets you re-confirm ownership if you ever lose access, and unlocks the customer role and support channels. You can link or change it any time from your account page.

Discord account compromised?

If your linked Discord is stolen, you can relink to a new one. Open a support ticket with proof of purchase (Stripe receipt or transaction ID), the name on the payment, and the last 4 digits of the card used.

05 Troubleshooting

Mod won't load

  • Ensure you're using Fabric Loader with Minecraft 1.21.1.
  • Verify Fabric API is installed in your mods folder.
  • Check that you're on Java 21 or newer.
  • Remove any conflicting mods and try again.
  • Check %appdata%/.minecraft/bfm/logs for error messages.

Verification dialog not appearing

  • Make sure you have an active license on your account.
  • Check your internet connection.
  • Restart your game and try again.
  • Make sure you're not using the Modrinth launcher.
  • BFM only supports Windows.

HUD not showing

  • Press Right Shift to open the HUD.
  • Check that "Display Flips" is enabled in settings.
  • Make sure you're on Hypixel SkyBlock, not the lobby.

Still need help?

Open a support ticket in the Discord server. For verification issues, include your bootstrapper logs from C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bfm\logs and your latest instance log.
