Welcome to the Lunar Recap Series! We're excited to present the new updates and features that have been added to Lunar Client between January and April. Whether you're already a Lunar Client player or just starting, we have started this series to keep you all in the loop. This series will include topics regarding launcher updates, updates to modpacks, our Apollo API, new in-game mods, and much more.

Each month, a YouTube video will be released for Lunar Client Recap alongside a written post (which you are reading now). Check out this months Lunar Client Recap video below!

Launcher Improvements

The launcher is now extremely efficient with a 500% improvement in bundle size. This enhancement significantly reduces launch and update times, allowing players to get into the games faster than ever. These improvements aim to provide all Lunar Client players with a seamless and efficient experience.

At the end of last year, we made a significant leap forward by introducing support for third-party modpacks. This update allows players to enjoy a curated experience with additional tools that are tailored for various servers. Currently, we support three mod packs: MCC Island, Wynncraft, and Hoplite. Each of these modpacks come bundled with the best mods, including Island Utils, Wynntils, and Simple Voice Chat. These mods will ensure that you have an enhanced gaming experience on Lunar Client.

Additionally, we have enabled customization for each modpack which allows players to adjust their settings to suit their systems. We also enhanced our Discord Rich Presence, enabling server owners to customize how their servers are displayed in Discord!

Apollo API Release

We have announced the release of Apollo, our new API tool that empowers Minecraft server owners and developers. This tool enables a wide range of features to be integrated directly into Lunar Client. If you're a server developer or owner interested in utilizing Apollo, check out our documentation here and the Apollo blog post here.

Ping Mod Enhancements

In our ongoing effort to improve gameplay, we also enhanced the Ping Mod. Players can now see the ping of opponents displayed on their nametags, allowing for better strategic planning during combat. This feature helps players gauge their opponents' capabilities, giving them a competitive edge.

Raw Mouse Input Feature

Additionally, we've added a highly requested feature: Raw Mouse Input. This feature ensures your cursor movement is directly reflective of your actual mouse movements, providing a more precise aiming experience. This improvement is available for all versions of the game, further enhancing gameplay consistency. You can find this option in the Lunar Client Settings in the General section.

ResourcePacks.gg

Earlier this year, we introduced resourcepacks.gg, a comprehensive platform for finding and sharing resource packs. This website houses a vast catalog of packs suitable for various Minecraft versions. Players can even create and upload their own packs, fostering a community of sharing and creativity.
