I completely understand dropping Windows 7 and 8, they're not supported by Microsoft anymore. It's mostly Windows 8.1 I was asking about since it's currently still in support for another 3 years. I know there's a fair amount of people who are stuck using it for, various reasons lol, not to mention the fact, switching operating systems is a massive burden for a lot of people. Some might be too scared to make the jump, and others might be kids where their parents wouldn't allow that. Many things to keep in mind there. Thanks for your response, truly appreciate it! :)

I for one am using it partially because Windows 10 is slower and buggier than Windows 8.1 for my hardware, and partially because I can't stand the telemetry services and other BS that's baked into Windows 10.


Just to also share some statistics and further reasoning behind our decision:

Windows 7 is 1.7%
Windows 8 is <0.1%
Windows 8.1 is 0.9%
Windows 10 is 97.4%

As you can clearly see, Windows 10 is the majority of users already, and of the remaining users who are not on Windows 10, most of them are on Windows 7. It just makes sense for us to shift everyone off of Windows 7 and 8 when like I mentioned they are both buggier operating systems that are not receiving serious support from Microsoft anymore. Microsoft wants people on Windows 10, which also adds new features and better security which can allow us to do more cool things with the operating system in the future. This is also imperative for our anticheat software in order to ensure it remains secure.

You raise some excellent points, but this is something where we have to just aim for the 95%+ of people and just say the rest will need to adapt. Most of the people who have machines on Windows 7 or 8 would mean that they are at least 5 years above the average Minecraft Java Edition's age…so this would imply that most of the players who are on Windows 7 or 8 are probably older users if anything.

You can also disable most of the Windows 10 data collection stuff if you wish to: https://blogs.systweak.com/how-to-disable-telemetry-and-data-collection-in-windows-10/

GDPR has done a great job of giving everyone more rights on their data and how it is collected. Although I will admit personally, it has been a huge pain in the ass for us to support (just because it made us to extra work when we are barely collecting anything in the first place).

P.S. As I linked above, it is still completely free to upgrade to Windows 10 :) Microsoft is just trying to move everyone onto the next generation of their software.

It will not be, I believe we will be adding back in the New Chat vs Old Chat option soon.

We are continuing to improve it though so that most people will be ok with it :)

Quick question about the full release: is it going to be free or is it going to be a paid client? I don't see many people buying it if it is any more than $7AUD ($5USD), as lunar client still offers better fps (and might be slightly outdone by the final version of BLC) and is free to use, however I would think that if it is free will the cosmetics go up in price for a while to pay for the updates? That would seem a bit more fairer, like maybe raising everything by maybe $2 or something.

2nd Question: What is the estimated release date? (I mean like 2021 or something, not a specific date)

3rd question (edit): will there be mod support for MacOS, currently there are mods like mumble link that are only for windows, which I would love on Mac but there just isn't any versions of it for BLC, I would have to use forge for the mod (who even uses forge nowadays smh)

Another week, more improvements to Badlion Client 3.0! We have been hard at work continuing to improve the client, and this week's list might be a bit shorter since some of our developers have fallen ill. We are wishing them all speedy recoveries, and the rest of us who are healthy continue to press on for BLC 3!

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 2

This week we have gone ahead and added more FPS improvements into the client. A lot of the changes are internal to the way we are rendering our own menus and systems to reduce down the amount of FPS it costs to open a menu (and just to clarify, it always will cost more FPS to render more things on the screen). We also made some improvements to the new cloak model we have designed to improve performance and reduce FPS drops

We are committed to continuing to improve the FPS in BLC 3.0, and will be back next week with more improvements!

BAC Launcher Update

We have gone ahead and added some of the missing functionality now on the BAC page for Windows users to take advantage of. You can view the recent punishments of people who have been caught cheating on BAC enabled servers or gamemodes. There is also a spot to report people who you believe are cheating on BAC enabled servers for us to investigate. This functionality will be 100% complete when we have released 3.0 to the public.

Replay Mod UI Rework

We are continuing to rework our old Replay Mod menus and update them to the new look and feel. We have gone ahead and added some other menus such as the player visibility menu and fixed some other small bugs related to the Replay Mod and the menus not showing up.



Launcher Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the submit bug report modal was not showing up when your game crashed
  • Fixed an issue where our sanity system was not warning you when you were low on disk space

  • Minecraft Fixes

    3.0.0-beta.4 Fixes

  • [1.14] Fixed an issue where hit color was not functional with Optifine
  • [All] Fixed an issue where cursors were not rendering in game anymore if you were hovering over buttons
  • [All] Fixed an issue where drop downs were not rendering correctly
  • [All] Fixed an issue where keybinds were not working on the first time
  • [All] Fixed an issue where color codes were not resetting properly in chat
  • [All] Fixed an issue where the BLC icon next to people's names was not loading



  • Launcher Tweaks

  • Upgraded to the latest version of Electron/Chromium. Should be some small performance improvements, security fixes, etc.
  • Added missing image for people who have already purchased Insider on the patching window (thank you!)

  • Minecraft Tweaks

  • Improved the image loading speed on the main menu and throughout the client
  • Improved the speed at which the Resource Packs menu opens up when you have 100s of packs



  • 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 notch :)
  • 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 improve the UI of BLC 3.0 based on community feedback, we have some changes and options planned out for the main menu soon
  • Continue to fix bugs and inconsistencies as they are reported



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



  • This week is a bit of a shorter week for updates as our team's health comes first for us. We will be back next week with another mini-update (short week again due to America celebrating Thanksgiving) and should be back into the full swing of things when December kicks off.

    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/

    Thanks!

    Thank you.
    (인용해주셔서 감사합니다.)

    I've been investigating the problem of shrinking the spacing of Unicode letters, and I found out that it occurred in the 2.3 update.
    (유니코드를 사용하면 글자의 간격이 줄어드는 현상은 2.3업데이트에서 생긴 것으로 추정됩니다.)

    In the 2.6 update with the FPS Boost function, titles were not centered, but left aligned, making it uncomfortable to see as someone who values ​​design.
    (FPS 부스트 기능이 생긴 2.6에서는 타이틀이 가운데가 아닌 왼쪽으로 정렬되는 등, 디자인을 중요시 여기는 사람으로써 불편함을 느낍니다.)

    As a user who speaks Korean, it is very inconvenient.
    (한국어를 사용하는 유저로써 굉장히 불편합니다.)

    I think the Unicode related code was wrong during the 2.3 update.
    (2.3 업데이트에서 유니코드와 관련된 코드가 잘못된 것 같습니다.)

    Well, only developers know for sure.
    (뭐, 확실한건 개발자분들만 알겠죠.)

    For reference, all of the FPS Boost problems appear when using Optifine.
    (참고로, FPS 부스트 문제 외에는, 전부 다 옵티파인을 사용할 때 나타납니다.)
