Badlion Client 3.0.0 Beta Week 2 - FPS, Pack Tweaks Mod & More


We are back again today with week 2 of the Badlion Client 3.0 Beta! This week's main focus has been improving the FPS of 3.0 as we continue to stabilize features. We also have released all other Minecraft versions besides 1.8 now on BLC 3.0 as well. We will even be looking at adding snapshot support soon for those of you who want to play around with 1.17 features early.

A special shout out and thanks to our early supporters who are directly funding the project by buying the Badlion Client 3.0 Beta Bundle. If you want to join in on the beta, and get a bunch of cosmetics at the cheapest rate we have ever offered them, check it out for yourself here: https://store.badlion.net/category/badlion-client-3.0/



FPS Update 1

This week we are releasing our first round of FPS optimizations from BLC 3.0. We have gone ahead and boosted the performance of the core game and also cleaned up some of our menu code to increase everyone's FPS. We have gone ahead and added some new options into the Betterframes section of our BLC Options as well. New options include:

  • Smooth Lighting - Helps to smooth out lighting updates and have less lag spikes when lots of lighting calculations need to be done
  • Disable Particle Lighting - Disable extra lighting calculations for particles which are not needed at all.

  • In addition to the above changes our "FPS Boost" option has had some new stuff added behind the scenes to it as well. Make sure to have all three of these options to get the best FPS possible.

    We have more FPS optimizations in the pipeline and coming out next week. We will also keep adding more FPS optimizations throughout the rest of beta as often as we can. We are committed to making a smooth experience for everyone on BLC 3.0, and we thank everyone who has been patience with us over the last year as we have ignored this area. We are making sure this does not happen again.

    Pack Tweaks Mod

    This new mod is aimed at giving users some cool out of the box options to improve their resource pack experience in Minecraft. Some of these new options include:

  • Custom fire which allows you to control the opacity and the height of fire
  • Transparent UI which allows you to control the opacity of the UI in Minecraft
  • Misc Tweaks such as larger UHC items (heads, gapples, etc), visible tripwires, and a pumpkin overlay 24/7 for those of you who don't just want pumpkins during Halloween.

  • If you guys have other cool ideas on what we can do with this mod, let us know!

    Replay Mod UI Rework

    We have begun the rework of the Replay mod to match up with the 3.0 look and feel across the entire client. I will admit as of writing these patch notes it appears pretty unpolished and there are some features still missing. We will work over the next week to add back in the missing features and hopefully finish converting this to a complete 3.0 look and feel.

    Other New Features

  • Text Shadow is now an option on all mods
  • Long drop downs now have a scrollbar appear so they don't go off screen
  • Added back the Reload Resources button on the escape menu
  • Fall back to default Minecraft unicode characters if our font system does not support it (e.g. the stars used by Hypixel's crates)
  • You can now see how many characters you have left on input fields (e.g. for the Insider Nametag menu)



  • Launcher Fixes

    None

    Minecraft Fixes

    3.0.0-beta.3 Fixes

  • [1.7/1.8/1.12] Fixed an issue with full screen and macOS users
  • [1.15/1.16] Fixed the shoulders on our cloaks to use the correct texture

  • [All] Fixed a crash related to tabbing in the chat
  • [All] Fixed an issue where on the Block Info mod the block was always in the top left corner like the rebel that it is



  • Launcher Tweaks

  • None

  • Minecraft Tweaks

  • Tweaked the main menu to make the buttons on the left navigation a bit larger and easier to see.
  • Slowed down the player preview in the cosmetics menu so you can observe the beauty of your cosmetics easier



  • As mentioned above, we will continue to improve the FPS. We have some more updates already planned to go out next week which should bring it up another knotch :)
  • We will continue to finish off the Replay Mod and slowly port missing menus into our 3.0 system.
  • We have some more cool Insider features which should be coming out soon for our 3.0 users!
  • Continue to fix bugs and inconsistencies as they are reported



  • Just little problems, nothing too major currently on our radar.



  • That's it for this week of updates on Badlion Client 3.0 If you are reading these patch notes and are not using BLC 3.0 already, consider supporting the project by purchasing the Bundle or Insider on our shop here: https://store.badlion.net/category/badlion-client-3.0/

    See you all next week for more awesome updates to BLC 3.0!

    Thanks!

    Nice FPS boost!
    Works pretty nicely, now even with higher render distances (I can max it out and still have 140 FPS!)

    A few issues I have encountered:
    - Perspective Mod when active you can't move around (key and F5)
    - Chat doesn't have any colors anymore
    - Replay doesn't work (recording and playing a recording crashes the game)

    These mods are really cool, especially Pack Tweaks, but I find it a little dumb that people that dont want to spend money on something that just allows you to do more customization cant use Beta. And depending on when this update will actually be released to the public, people without insider will have to wait relatively long to use a very, very useful mod. Because a lot of people have packs that they really like but dont like the hight of the fire, etc. Such as me.

    There will not be an open beta, but rather when it is ready for "open beta" it will just be released to the public as the new mainstream BLC.

    Black Friday is coming soon ;)

    I would love to do this…but it would take us year(s) of work and effort. The AC we are using was built for existing Windows platforms and it's not very easy to port to other operating systems. I don't believe this will happen soon (or maybe ever).

    Insiders will always be the first people to get and try out new features for BLC. They are the ones paying to help keep the lights on here and we need to give them something back in appreciation for their contributions. We are aimed here at serving the general population though and normally features are released in less than 6 weeks to everyone. BLC 3.0 is just such a huge update that it is taking longer than our normal release cycle time frame.
