Hello there.

I am super excited to share with the community the latest update to the Badlion Client, Badlion Client 2.2! This is our best update yet in my opinion yet. It really focuses a lot on (1) New features (2) Polishing the client (3) Bug fixes of course.

I just want to make a quick note here while you are still paying attention. Going forward we are planning on switching our release cycle to be roughly six weeks (minus bug fixes for the latest update). We feel that this will give us enough time to make a significant update to the client each time we roll one out.

Insiders will still get more frequent updates as we slowly add features to the next update. If you are interested in trying out features early and testing them, check out the Insider rank on our store https://store.badlion.net/category/insider

Now into the patch notes!



HWID Bans Now Only for BAC Servers

With Badlion Client 2.2 we have gone about changing our policy for HWID Bans and when and where they should be used. We are removing the restriction today for using the Bad…

Hi.

This is a quick informative post that we are making a few improvements to how we detect cheats on the Badlion Client and as a result. Depending on the type of cheat you are running, you might get banned for running it while on a BAC server, or you might only get banned if you are using the cheat while on a BAC server. Due to the improvements made recently to BAC, we are able to now better detect if someone is actively using a cheat while playing on a BAC server.

As a result of the changes, we are unbanning some users who were banned for running cheats while on a BAC server, but never actually used the cheats while playing on that BAC server.

As a reminder to everyone, if you don't want to deal with the possibility of being banned by BAC in the first place, don't cheat! 100% effective against BAC bans.

Thanks.

Hey all.

Today I want to write a short post explaining a recent Minecraft 1.8.X (affecting all 1.8 versions) exploit that was found in the vanilla Minecraft client. I will explain in very simple and easy to understand terms what the bug was, the risk factor, what the attackers could do with it, and things you do not need to worry about.

The Bug

When a server wants to check if you have a resource pack installed it sends the client a message (packet) to check if you own this resource pack. If you do not own the resource pack then your client will respond to the server saying "I don't have it."

The problem here is that a server could use special characters ("..") in the name of the resource pack to try and check if your computer has a file on it outside of your resource pack directory.

The Risk

On a scale of 0-10 with 10 being they have complete control over your computer (like a virus) i wou…
