Hey everyone! It's been a while since our last patch notes and one of the main reasons is because we've been hard at work on many unreleased projects. We recently got to show off one of these projects in the Minecraft MOBA event at TwitchCon a few weeks ago. I plan on doing patch notes more frequently again so stay on the lookout for more. I can't wait to show you guys what we have planned next, some amazing stuff in progress!

For today’s patch notes, we will be highlighting improvements for mods like Armor Status and Hypixel Mods. We also implemented various quality of life features and fixed a large number of bugs. For more in-depth information, read the entirety of our patch notes below!

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, please 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.
