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.

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

Fixed item rotation speed being FPS-dependent (and different each frame!)
Fixed items rendering wrongly or with the wrong size on 1.7
