Hey everyone, our primary focus these past few weeks has been to add some much-requested mods to the client, along with continuing our goal to optimize a few memory issues. We reduced the startup time by a significant amount of time and finally stopped the main menu from freezing for a few seconds when you launched the game.

Some new mods for this update include Bedwars Mod, Pack Organizer, and Tab Editor; a complete list can be found below. As for quality of life improvements and bug fixes, we fixed many issues with Microsoft Auth and made it so cosmetics instantly update for other players upon equipping them in-game. If you have any suggestions to improve Lunar Client, make sure to interact with us on our social media accounts.

We are still actively searching for new hires. Visit our jobs page for all relevant information. Thank you all for the constant support; Lunar Client is made for the players, by the players.

  Optimized Cloak Texture Loading (Part 2/2)

  Item Physics

• Made it so if an item lands flipped over / upside down, it will remain flipped over and won't un-flip itself

• Items rotate more slowly when in water on 1.16/1.17 for consistency with the changed water physics in 1.13+

• Items no longer spin around when the game is paused

• Allow faster item rotation speeds in item physics settings to compensate

• Fixed off-center item rotations

• Fixed item rotation speed being FPS-dependent (and different each frame!)

• Fixed items rotating more quickly when rendered multiple times per frame (like with shaders when a shadow pass is enabled)

• Fixed overlapping items z-fighting with each other

• Fixed items hiding in snow on 1.7, 1.8, and 1.12

• Fixed physics rotation pitch being reset by server entity position update packets

• Fixed inconsistent clumping with item physics between versions

  Optifine

  Emote Crash

• Fixed an issue where players would sometimes crash when connecting to a server where a player is emoting (1.16/1.17)
