Introduction

Welcome to the first Badlion 3 update! We've heard your feedback on the BLC 3.0 launch, we are aware of the issues with BLC 3.0 and we tackled those in this BLC 3.1 update. We've also added a bunch of requested features that you can find below. This update focuses mainly on bug fixes but we didn't forget to also create new and awesome features and upgrade our old ones as well!

I will explain more about the next update at the bottom of the post and talk about our plans for BLC 3.2 and so on. But first, let's speak about BLC 3.1.



Alternative Main Menu

One of the complaints we've heard for BLC 3.0 is that our main menu is too complex and is too cluttered for our users. We've tackled that issue and we've added an Alternative Main Menu which should fix some of these problems. This menu is optional (you can toggle it on and off from the BLC options menu). This menu's look is inspired by the original vanilla main menu but we've added our flare to it. Big thank you to Finlay https://twitter.com/FinlayPacks for the original concept and ideas to make this menu possible!



Here's a list of the features on this menu:

Top Left icons (From left to right) Theme Manager - Replay Viewer - Language - Badlion News - Restart Tutorial

Badlion Logo - If you click on the lion, it will bring you to our Website

Singleplayer - Opens our custom Singleplayer menu

Multiplayer - Opens our multiplayer menu which has your server list + BAC list

BLC Options -Brings up the BLC settings menu which you can change the menu type in

Cosmetics - Opens up our small cosmetic menu which shows your own cosmetics + available cosmetics to purchase

Options - Opens up the default Minecraft options menu

Quit Game - Closes Minecraft

Alt Manager - Allows you to change the account you are on or add an account

Badlion Store - Opens up our store so you can purchase cosmetics/ Look at them

In conclusion, we are eagerly awaiting for your feedback on how to improve this menu and what your initial thoughts are on it.

Linux Support

We are super excited to share today with the entire Minecraft community that the Badlion Client is now available on Linux! Our development team has been super hard at work over the last few months trying to finish off the last pieces of Linux support and fixing the compatibility issues we spoke about earlier in our announcement post regarding Linux last year. Just in the nick of time for BLC 3.1, the development team was able to finalize the Linux support.

If you are a Linux user and want to experience all of the awesome Badlion Client features, now is your chance today: https://www.badlion.net/download/client/latest/linux

We just want to take a quick moment to thank the Linux community for your continued patience with our team over the last few months. We know that we were not unfortunately able to release the Linux version at the end of 2020 like we had hoped, but we hope you are excited nonetheless to try out the most feature packed Minecraft version available for free!

World Edit

The highly requested mod "World Edit" was added in BLC 3.1. WorldEdit CUI is a visual aid mod to help builders all over the community have an easier time building their wonderful creations in multiplayer.

WorldEdit is a plugin used on servers and what this mod does is add an outline to the different kinds of selections you can make including the first selection, second selection and general borders of that selection. This is only usable on servers with this plugin installed.



Color Saturation Mod

Ever wanted to make the saturation of your Minecraft world look different without having to adjust your monitor settings every time? We have the mod just for you, we are introducing the Color Saturation mod! This allows you to change the saturation of your game without affecting your mods or your GUI!



SkyblockAddons Update

A smaller update to our SkyblockAddons mod was added in BLC 3.1, We plan on focusing heavily on this mod in BLC 3.2 and make sure Skyblock is up to date and even have our own addons that we come up with! The addons that we added are listed as -

Pet Display

Want more information for your precious new pet? This addon will showcase your current pet, you will gain information about it's level, rarity and current % of XP earned for it's current level.



Rock & Dolphin Pet Counter

Rock Pet Counter - Displays How many ores you have mined total, it's helpful to know if you are close to getting a milestone where you get your brand new rock pet and it's respective rarity!

Dolphin Pet Counter - It will display how many sea creatures you have fished. This will help you know if you are close to a milestone to get the respective rarity of the dolphin pet.

NotEnoughUpdates

We are excited to bring to you our own version of the auction house for NEU. You will be able to open the Auction house menu wherever you are with a simple press of a button!



Here is a list of all the features from this addon!

Filter by categories & sub categories - Get exactly the kind of gear you are looking for!

Dungeon filter - Filter by the tier of the dungeon item

Sorting - From highest bid to lowest, from lowest to highest

Item Tier Filter - From supreme to common, you can look at the rarity of items in a simple click of a button!

BIN Filter - Filters "buy now" items

Enchant filter - Do you want an item without enchants? This is where you can look for items with a clean slate

Show My auctions - Shows your current auctions

Search bar - Look up any item by name in the search bar field

Colored Enchant Names & Max Enchantments Colors

Want to find an item with the enchantments you need on Skyblock? We got just the right option for you! With this addon, you will be able to change the color of all your enchantments, pick between which color goes on which enchant and you will have the option to make all the max level enchantments stand out on your precious items!



In BLC 3.2, we will be merging this mod with SBA to make sure everything is located in the same mod to make it easier to find Skyblock related mods.

Mod Scaling & Text Size

We are glad to showcase to you guys two long awaited features that plagued the way our mods looked for a long time now. These fixes should make our GUI much smoother to look at and should fix any issues with resizing mods.

Mod Scaling

Awhile ago we changed the way our mod scaling was operating and it created a bunch of issues with our mods. We have decided to go a new route and make sure that the mod has a static scaling instead of a system based on your screen resolution.

Making your screen smaller and going full-screen will not change the location of the mods anymore and they should stay where they are (Extreme cases might break this, be aware). This means that now your mods will stay consistent from every time you launch Minecraft to every time you minimize the game.

Mod Text Size

We've had a lot of complaints/suggestions to fix the way our mods look and make the font of them fit better with our widgets. We have now created a way to change the size of the text of your mods! Anything from CPS mod to Keystrokes mod, we have you covered.



Menu Scaling

A BLC 3.0 issue we've encountered was that when you resized your screen, our menus would not scale and they would go out of bounds. This issue happened because of two reasons:

1. We made our menus based on 4k monitors
2. We didn't have a scaling system in place

We've fixed these issues by adjusting them to 1080p and also added a scaling system. This system will make it so that if you make your screen smaller, the text/buttons for the menus will adjust itself and should still be readable. (Warning if you go too small, there's not much you will see).

Item Tracker

Ever wondered if you've picked up those golden apples in a UHC? We've got something for you, the Item Tracker mod!
This mod will allow you to display what item you're picking up and what you're dropping out of your inventory. You can customize the duration of how long the item stays on your screen & the color of the text!



New BLC/Insider icons

We decided to update the look of our icons and make them more appealing to the eyes. We replaced the circle shape to a diamond shape, we updated the size of the icon itself and we've added a black outline surrounding the diamond shape.

Here's a picture showing how they would look in-game now.



Optifine Update

Very happy to say we've updated our OptiFine builds to the latest available. This change will improve our users' stability and performance. Let us know if you encounter any issues with the latest build!

Updated to OptiFine 1.8.9_HD_U_M5

Updated to OptiFine 1.12.2_HD_U_G5

Updated to OptiFine 1.15.2_HD_U_G6

Other New Features

For our hardcore users that love new additions to existing mods, we updated our current mods to have new features/new looks!
This is not the last time we will do something like this so make sure to keep being updated with BLC updates. One of my favorite things to work on is finding ways to make our mods look better and come up with new ideas to make the older mods look fresh.

Here's a list of features we've added to our existing mods.

Hitbox Mod - Allow users to change the size of your hitboxes. Useful for example if you want your arrow hitboxes to be bigger so you can dodge them easier

Hitbox Mod - Fixed an issue in 1.7 where your hitbox would be above your head

Mod Border] - Now you can change the size of the outline around your mod (mod border)

CPS Mod - We've added a "combined" CPS option which will display your LMB and RMB at the same time

Chroma text shadows - We've fixed the issue with Chroma/Rainbow not working properly with text shadows

Breathing Effect - This effect is now fixed and should work on every mod

Chroma/Breathing/Rainbow Speed Slider - We added a way for you to change the speed of how fast your Chroma/Rainbow/Breathing Effect displays itself

Armor Status - We've changed the complete look of this mod, text being too far/items not being at right spot. Now the default look of this mod will match our other mods and fit in nicely

Crosshair Mod - We've added a "circle" option for our dot in the middle of the screen (we only had a square before)

Particles Mod - New options were added to this mod, you can now decide if the "multiplier" slider will affect your critical or your sharpness particles.

Animations mod - Changed the animations mod to have most of the animations on by default when making a new profile or resetting the mod

Weapon Cosmetics - Added the item cosmetic to your hotbar (So if you have a sword or shield you will see the icons in your hotbar instead of the default Minecraft items)

Potion Status - Added the ability to change the color of every different potion status

BLC Launcher Update

The Badlion Client launcher now will automatically detect when a Minecraft crash occurs and submit it to our servers to analyze. We now have a way to group similar crashes together and this will help us to find and squash bugs faster that are a widespread issue for users. We are now prompting users on the Badlion Client launcher with this new information instead of asking for bug reports to be submitted.

Please note, this feature is only available on Badlion Client 3.0 and above.

We will be bringing a new menu designer that is more familiar with how Minecraft menus should look like and we won't be repeating the same mistakes as BLC 3.0! Thank you for your dedication and patience!

Replay mod being buggy

Newer versions have more bugs than we anticipated

In conclusion, we are very excited to bring you this update. make sure to test it out and give us any feedback you'd like to see for the future of the Badlion Client! Make sure to report any bugs so we can look into it and fix them as soon as possible! We can't wait to start working on BLC 3.2 and bring even more highly requested features to our growing player base.

Huge shout out to @ScrubV2 for the huge help as our dedicated QA tester and his team, if this update is smoother than others it's mainly because of his effort and work dedication.
Thanks!

I'm aware Badlion has been working to get Linux Support for a while & I'm glad it's finally done.

I remember I added a complaint about how I got the original menu of the game within badlion and requested it to be an option. Many others thought about this being a feature and I'm really happy about it. It keeps the vanilla touch aside a few badlion things which is really good.

Posted on 04 March 2021 - 03:12 PM

I've been using it for about an hour or two on my Chromebook, and so far, it seems amazing, especially considering it literally just came out an hour ago. The only problem is that it doesn't launch BLC 3, or OptiFine, so I have to use the old version… other than that, great!

Posted on 04 March 2021 - 05:52 PM

Im so happy that badlion is finally on Linux, however, I found some mods such as waypoints aren't working. Maybe I don't know how to use them or something but I think it might be a bug.

Posted on 04 March 2021 - 06:58 PM

Finally got a linux support i dream of

Posted on 04 March 2021 - 11:00 PM

do you think theyre gonna work more on the update or just keep it like that?

Posted on 04 March 2021 - 11:18 PM

Great update!

Can't wait to start playing and use the new features!

As a hypixel skyblock player, I like a lot that you guys added NEU.

Ich habe eine Frage kann man die Version nur auf Windwos downloaden?
Aber ansonsten einfach nur MEGA

Posted on 05 March 2021 - 11:14 AM
