these graphs are utterly unreadable. could be nice to put something decent into the tooltip, although I'm not sure how useful the info really is.
thoughts?

I've no clue how to read the thing either. the y axis makes it look like it's trying to emulate a monospace font with a proportional one so that the "|" are aligned. on the x axis, the numbers and "+" would be aligned were the dots proportional, which they aren't. it's just so inconsistent

and how wide are the dots supposed to be? 1 dot = 0.5 chars would seem plausible

Idk

#

Wide enough so that the left bars are aligned

I think this is what hypixel is trying to tell us with the above picture. a lot better, but I'm still not sure how to interpret the area where there's two bars with nothing inbetween.
and yeah, it's literally just asciiart rendered in a proportional font

true, probably. then again, idk if those sites have the history for the values like that

cloud drift
#

And they go way before what SB show

#

They go years in the past

#

I've looked for an API to get that data, did I overlook something or is there no source for that atm?

cloud drift
#

Idk
I think there is one

#

Lemme look

#

And for the past data, well you need to save everything yourself

lilac terrace
#

you need to save everything yourself
should have said so before, I knew about the endpoints but the historic data is the problem

cloud drift
#

iirc some data from skyblock.bz, they got it from cofl and cofl got data from others, etc

#

so maybe you can ask all sites like that

#

if you really wanted to make your own archive

#

would probably cost your money tho

#

i know cofl isn't fully free

finally had the time to dump these graphs from the tooltip. not much better than what I had made by hand

it's a literal blob, how are you supposed to make sense of that? others have holes in them; it's hard to find one that actually looks like I'd expect it to.
as nice as it'd be to use the data hypixel gives you for free, these graphs are just unreadable to me. I'm not planning on spending money or making an archive, so until someone figures these graphs out, I'm giving up on this idea.

though, the 1.8.9 in game view is far easier to read obviousl y

as an example
