Checking for Gifted Ranks
When someone gifts you a rank upgrade on the Hypixel Minecraft server, a notification book will pop up in your inventory the next time you log in. This book will tell you that you received a rank gift. However, if you weren’t online when the gift happened or you accidentally ignored/cleared the book notification, there isn’t a direct way to check who gifted you the rank after the fact.
The only potential way to find out the gifter’s username is to scroll back through your chat logs, if you have them enabled and didn’t clear the logs. The gifting notification should appear there when it originally happened. However, this isn’t always reliable, especially if significant time has passed.
Tracking Rank Gifts Received
While you can’t easily look up who gifted you a specific rank, you can check how many ranks you’ve been gifted in total. Here’s how:
- Open the in-game Hypixel shop menu
- Navigate to the “Ranks” section
- Go to the “Gifted” tab
- Hover your cursor over the rank reward tiers
This will display a message telling you how many more gifts you need to unlock the next gifted rank tier. For example, it may say something like “You need 5 more gifts to unlock this tier”. You can infer the total number of rank gifts you’ve received so far based on your progress towards the next tier.
Keep in mind this only tells you the overall number of ranks gifted to you, not who gifted them or a breakdown of the specific ranks.
Gifted Rank Tiers
The gifted rank tiers in Hypixel are rewards for players who gift a certain number of ranks or upgrades to other players. The current tiers are:
| Number of Gifts | Gifted Rank Tier |
| – | – |
| 5 | Green |
| 10 | Purple |
| 25 | Light Purple |
| 50 | Orange |
| 100 | Blue |
| 200 | Dark Blue |
| 500 | Dark Red |
These special colors and symbols appear next to the username of players who have achieved each gifted rank tier to recognize their generosity in the community. However, they don’t provide any additional perks or commands beyond the cosmetic name color.
