Hello everyone! I hope you are all excited as much about summer as I am today. We have a lot of cool things going on behind the scenes on Badlion Client currently, and I wanted to take the time to explain a little bit more today about what we are working on to make sure we can handle all of the new players using Badlion Client everyday. If you want to skip down to the client patch notes, feel free to jump to the New Features section.

Infrastructure Upgrades

We have grown a crazy amount in the first half of this year. We have over 2x the number of users we had in the beginning of January using BLC every day, and as a result some of our infrastructure pieces (think things like our login, registration, chat systems, etc) are in desperate need of a clean up. Some of these pieces of technology are from 3-4 years ago, and were never designed (nor could we imagine) that we would have over 70,000 players online almost every day of the week. That's why we have been working behind the scenes over the last month or two upgrading these pieces of tech to make sure we can handle 500,000 users if we had to.

On that note, here is a list of the micro services that we have gone ahead and upgraded in the last few months:

Chat System - Preparing for new features, more improvements will be decided later when feature scope is clear

Friends System - The oldest piece of tech we are still using, code was a disaster, gave it a nice clean up and helped to prepare it for some new features

Authentication System - Currently we have been having an issue with too many players on the client at once! We are rewriting our authentication system to be more flexible and scalable

Email System - We have so many people using our system every day, that we need to add more capacity to our email system. Some players have not been able to receive emails from us because we are sending so many out in a single day. In the next week or two a new email system will be put live to resolve these issues. Emails are a very tricky topic…and have to be done perfectly to avoid problems like the ones we are already having.

Name Updating System - Our unique registration process hooks your Badlion account directly to a Minecraft account. In doing so, we check Mojang's systems every day to see if your username has changed. Our old system was not scaling very well to our over 2 million registered users, so we rewrote it from the ground up. The new system has been live for a month or so now and everyone's usernames are up to date again! Yay!

Doubling down on our BAC commitment

We are dedicated to providing a better Anticheat solution for the community. This is why we have started reaching out to servers about new opportunities to integrate BAC (Badlion Anticheat) into their servers at little to no cost. We want to drastically cut down the number of cheaters in the community, and want everyone to be on an even playing experience. This is why we are adding new tools and features to our BAC systems, and even more in Badlion Client 3.0. We will be doing a bigger public announcement for these big BAC changes we are working on when they are complete and available to everyone.

Upgrading our shop

Meanwhile, as we have grown, so has the load and usage of our store system. It's working pretty dang well considering how little work we have invested into it, but we want to do some really cool things in the future and do a better job of helping players to understand what they are buying before they purchase it. We have a bunch of plans to upgrade the shop that are now underway and we hope to release them piece by piece through the year with a final big push towards the end of the year before the holiday season. Purchasing something will become easier than ever on the Badlion Client shop.

For those of you who made it this far, thanks for reading the extra information above. I feel it is important to be transparent with the community and explain what we have been working on. A lot of these things will go un-noticed since they are not in your face, but they are all very important to creating a smooth and consistent experience on the Badlion Client that you all love so much.

Without further ado now, let's dive into the changes in Badlion Client 2.15.



Minecraft 1.16 & Minecraft 1.16.1 Support!

We are excited as always to share new Minecraft versions and features with the community. We are dedicated to making sure that we always will support the latest version of Minecraft. That's why we have built all of the custom tools and code to make sure that we are able to accomplish this every single Minecraft patch. Minecraft 1.16 has been no different, and we are excited to see how many of you were waiting for this to be released. It was really awesome to see the number of players using Minecraft 1.16 on Badlion Client shoot up so fast in the first hour on it's release. It's really awesome to see the work being used by so many of you, so thanks for helping to keep us motivated! We will release bug fixes over the coming weeks as always to ensure a smooth gameplay experience.

Skyblock Addons Update!

A special thanks to @Biscut, our dedicated Skyblock Addons developer (and the original one) for working on these awesome new features for the mod, and porting them to Badlion Client. I am super excited to share all of the cool new features that have been added for the mod below:

Optifine Upgrades for 1.8, 1.12, and 1.14!

This feature was originally meant to go out with Badlion Client 2.14, but we ran into a bunch of problems and unfortunately had to delay it. I am excited to share that this feature is now done and live! We have upgraded to the latest version of Optifine on Minecraft 1.8, 1.12, and 1.14! This means more bug fixes, more FPS improvements, and other little improvements thanks to the Optifine team. We are going to do a better job going forward to make sure that we are keeping up to date with Optifine, and any improvements they might be shipping out so that everyone on the Badlion Client can enjoy them too.

Borders Available On All Mods!



Do you like having a border around your Keystrokes mod keys? Well guess what? You can now add a border to all of the Fancy mods on Badlion Client! This will help users create more custom appearances to their liking! Sometimes it's the little things that make a client feel better, and this is one of those little things.

P.S. Please forgive my low FPS :( It's my Macbook.

Other New Features

Added a new option to remove the gap between the LMB and RMB on the Keystrokes mod

We are still hard at work on Badlion Client 3.0! We have spent a lot of time rebuilding our core engine from the ground up to be more scalable, re-usable, and faster. The core engine is nearing the final stages of development, and then our team will be hard at work at implementing all of the interfaces we have been designing. Expect to see a lot of previews soon! Reminder that we are going to be offering Badlion Client 3.0 in three flavors: dark, light, and classic (Minecraft styled).

We will hopefully have some closed beta starting in the coming months for Badlion Client 3.0 as we get closer to completing the UI rework. After this is done we will be able to focus on all of the awesome improvements we want to bring to the client.

For Badlion Client 2.16 (yes Badlion Client 2.15 got steered in a different direction due to growth and new Tester team) we will be focusing on some more improvements and new mods that will directly be ported into Badlion Client 3.0 including:

An upgraded alt manager. Deleting accounts from your profiles sounds soo….nice :)

Replay Mod update. Add some new gizmos and gadgets to it…and…emote compatibility!? :pogchamp:

A more social experience. How about some more options for friends such as seeing what server they are playing on? Or even joining them?

More quality of life updates to older mods such as ArmorStatus, PotionStatus, etc

Bug Fixes

Whatever other crazy ideas pop into our head while we are working on it >:D

Minecraft 1.16 is a bit buggy, we are still fixing things as they come up.

Bang, that was a large set of updates in our latest version of Badlion Client. As a reminder, we are hiring more developers to continue expanding the client's features for all of our hundreds of thousands of monthly users! If you know someone that might be interested, please refer them to our job hiring post here: https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/257030

Also I would like to give the Tester team a quick shout out. They are a new dedicated team in our organization that is responsible for testing new features before they go out to the public, and trying to break existing features. They have done a phenomenal job so far, and have helped us to find and fix many of the bugs in this patch, along with catching new ones in the changes we made in Badlion Client 2.15.

We have spent a bunch of time continuing to improve the stability of Badlion Client, and are committed to ensuring that there are little to no bugs in our code base. We will continue to fix as many problems as we can each patch, while still striving to add new features. Also keep your eyes open for some Badlion Client 3.0 previews ;)

Lastly, if you love our client, then help us continue to grow by sharing it with a friend! We have some really cool features coming out in the coming months that will make enjoying Minecraft with friends even better on the Badlion Client!

Thanks.

Hey GBerry!

I've had some issues with optifine after this new update. I can run the client fine with optifine checked off. The problem is I need to use optifine as I use badlion to test whether my texture pack has any faults. The pack requires optifine as it has animated textures, but whenever I start badlion on any version, with optifine checked I either crash while loading into a server, or my computer completely freezes on boot. This has never happened to me before, but I assume it has something to do with the new version of optifine. I have a MSI Radeon 270x card with a Ryzen 5 2200g (3.5 GHz, Quad Core). I've been searching the forums for solutions to my problem, but all of the people with the same problem never found a solution. I was wondering if there was a way I could either find a solution and run the current version of badlion, or would I have to use forge to get all of the features. I would prefer being able to use badlion as that's what I'm familiar with and what the majority of the people who use my pack use. If you would like me to send crash logs I can, but I have no idea where to find them. Thank you for the help!

Hey could you make a bug report by clicking submit bug report on the launcher so we can have a look at what is causing the issue so we can try and find a solution. :)
