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. We encourage you to check out our documentation for complete details on how to get started.
Updated Hypixel Skyblock Mod
Moving on to in-game features, we have introduced several exciting mods that players can explore right now. One of the best is our new mod specifically for Hypixel Skyblock, packed with popular features requested by the community. This mod includes dungeon solvers and HUD notifications, making it easier for players to navigate and succeed in the challenging world of Skyblock.
Dungeon Features
For players tackling dungeons, we have implemented dungeon solvers, F7/M7 terminal solvers, secret waypoints, highlight Spirit Bow, and more, making your dungeon runs much more seamless.
For Passive Players
We haven't forgotten about casual players! The mod also features ability to move your Health, Mana and Defense HUD anywhere on your screen, garden visitors notifications, bigger crop hitboxes on 1.8 and many more enhancing the experience for those who prefer a more relaxed gameplay style. For more information on the Hypixel Skyblock mod check out this article.
Block Outline Mod Rework
Next, we revamped the Block Outline Mod, introducing four new render modes, including Rainbow and Blend modes. The Rainbow mode allows for a vibrant, flowing effect over blocks, while the Blend mode enables players to create custom gradients. These new features provide players with unprecedented customization options for their gameplay visuals.
New Horse Stats Mod
For horse enthusiasts, we launched the Horse Stats Mod. This mod provides a breakdown of horse stats, making it easier for players to select the best one. Whether you're exploring casually or engaging in competitive gameplay, this feature is designed to enhance your experience.
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.
Cloaks on Elytras
To add flair to your gameplay, we've introduced the ability to display your Lunar Cloak on your Elytra. This feature allows players to showcase their unique cloaks while soaring through the skies, adding a personal touch to their gaming experience.
Cosmetic Collections
This year, we released six new cosmetic collections, including seasonal themes for New Year's, Valentine's, and Easter. Additionally, we introduced two entirely new collections: Flo and Japanese Volume 2. Each collection features stunning designs crafted by our talented team, and they are available for purchase in our store.
Lunar Client Turns 5!
Finally, we celebrated a significant milestone: Lunar Client turned 5 years old! To commemorate this occasion, we hosted a special server event where players could explore our history and achievements. We also rewarded top players with exclusive fifth-anniversary cloaks and a golden astronaut pet, fostering community engagement and celebration.
