Introduction

Our main focus with the BLC 3.5 was mainly FPS boost and the new Replay mod! We will be looking to further improve both of these topics in future updates.



Optimizations/FPS Boost

BLC 3.5 and BLC 3.6 will be HUGE for our FPS upgrades. Currently our goal is for BLC 3 to be the client that gives the biggest FPS boost out of all. It currently could already be!

We went to town and worked extremely hard to find a lot of ways for us to boost your precious frames :D. I will try to be as vague as possible to not reveal our FPS boost secrets.

If you go into your BLC settings, you should see the "BetterFrames" menu, here I will go over what's new.

Lazy Chunk Loading - This setting is useful to see an initial FPS boost/Boost your frames in UHC type of gamemodes where you keep loading chunks. It's not a be all end all, on a gamemode like Bedwars, you won't see a giant boost besides the start of the game.

World Optimization - Just helps with the loading of the world :)

FPS Boost - Old setting but this will just keep on getting better over time, we added a bunch of stuff to this toggle so make sure to use it!

Resource Packs loading

In BLC 2.0 we had the fastest loading resource pack manager in Minecraft, in transitioning to BLC 3.0, we had issues with this system and it caused a bit of a loading time. I'm happy to announce that in BLC 3.5 the fast resource pack loading should be fixed and should be back to BLC 2.0'speed!

Replay Mod

A big focus for us with 3.5 has been working on improving our Replay Mod to aid creators in seamlessly making content ready for editing! We also fixed a variety of bugs and issues our mod has had and will continue to improve it, this is just Phase 1 of the Replay Mod rework project! Here is what is available in this update:

Multiple Timelines and Jump frames:
Sometimes, it can be annoying trying to place keyframes and wanting to quickly switch from one location to another without the camera moving around or making 2 videos. Well here's the solution, multiple timelines allow users to when combined with jump keyframes make quick camera cuts!





Camera Path Info:

Do you ever get confused which way the camera path is moving or what direction the camera is facing? So did we! Now you can easily see both of these things. The red arrows indicate direction and the blue lines indicate the way the camera is facing. This can be toggled off if you do not want this.



Circular Presets:
Making a nice circle in replay mod used to take a long time. Not anymore now you can quickly set them up with ease. Who said you couldn't make circles in Minecraft?





Effects Menu:
We have gone ahead and added a bunch of mod support within Replay Mod so that your replay videos look closer to what you could see in-game, including mods like Color Saturation, Time Changer, Weather Changer, etc. In order to seamlessly do this, we created a small menu with a few categories that go as follows:

Camera

Environment

Visual

Player

Effects:
We have begun adding a variety of effects and will add more as we see fit, these effects allow you to get a better cinematic experience and achieve things you simply could not achieve before. To begin with we have the following 2:

Zoom <– Increases or decreases the zoom of the camera without having to move the physical camera

Camera Shake <– Applies a random shake often seen in action sequences in movies.

Here is an example of what you can do with the zoom effect:




OOFMod

Hey, one of our devs (powns) went ahead and added the OofMod to the client! This mod was created to change custom sounds in Minecraft! Currently the default sounds are the old Minecraft sounds from the Beta.

Don't like them? Just add your own custom files to it!

When opening the mod, you can click "Open Sounds Folder" and then you can go ahead and add your own sound for possible option!

You can also go ahead and change the volume of those sounds :D

Skyblock Mod Upgrade[

Dwarven Mines Update!

Skyblock updates are important to us and our users. Each update we aim to bring new features to the Badlion Client and in 3.5 we are adding many new enhancements for the Dwarven Mines.

Custom Scoreboard:

Want to know information about your commissions and more without opening the tab list? Check out our custom mining scoreboard.

Puzzler Puzzle Solver:

Easily figure out what piece of wood you have to mind with this handy solver!

Sky Mall Buff Showcase:

Want to know when the Sky Mall buff changes? This showcase will make it impossible to miss!

Radius Showcase:

This showcase will highlight the area that a beacon or crystals range covers, making it easy to get maximum output from each beacon and crystal!

Dwarven Mines Waypoints:

Want to know where and how far you need to go to get to your favorite mithril deposit? Or maybe you need help finding the lava springs? These new waypoints will help with that!


Bazaar/AH Item Prices:


Damage Formatting:
When you are too strong in Skyblock, it can be hard to know just how much damage you did. Now you can format the damage dealt to make it easier to read… THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE


Dungeon Party Member Stats:
Want to know who you are getting into a party with for your next dungeon run and if they have what it takes? This useful feature does just that!


Soulflower Counter and Talisman Information:
Tells you your current amount of available soulflow as well as if your talisman ability is enabled/disabled



Voidgloom Information:

Shows the health/shield hit of the boss

Shows if you are using the ferocity ability of the katana sword

Show if boss is holding a beacon

Show coordinates of beacon placed

Show coordinates of skull placed

Voidgloom Beacon Helper:

Beacon Red Screen:

Turns screen red like in during Bonzo fight when a beacon is placed near you

Beacon Timer:

Shows time before beacon goes off (on screen and on top of beacon)


Emotes Upgrade

In BLC 3.3 we went ahead and fixed the huge frame drops that emoting would produce. Since then we've been hard at work and looking into improving this system even more! We've added a bunch of new options to the new category in the settings menu called "Emotes".
You can now access every options related to emotes from that simple menu button and change anything you'd want about them.

Running Emotes

You are now able to run while using emotes! Every emote should be compatible with this system and in the future, we will tweak some of them to make the loop a bit smoother!

Don't worry, you are not able to mine blocks/hit players/shoot your bow, ect whilst emoting.





Every player has the ability to disable this option incase it distracts your day to day gameplay :D

Here's a list of what's new

Hide Held items - Hides any items in hand while emoting

Hide Nametags - Hide nametags of every user if they are emoting

Hide Armor - Hides any type of armor when the person is emoting

Make All emotes infinite - All emotes become infinite

Enable Running emotes - Enables the ability to run whilst emoting (the moment you get hit, the emote will end)

See other players emotes while running -

Default Emote Perspective - You can select which perspective will be selected when you emote (f5 cycle).

We've also added the ability to keybind emotes! If you don't feel like opening the emote wheel every time and click the emote to activate it, this feature is for you! You can now use an emote with a single push of a button.

New Icons

In BLC 3.5 our vision was to make our icons stick out less visually and fit more with Minecraft's more pixelated artistic feel. So we've went ahead and changed how our nametag icons looks like!



We've also added a way for you to change what icon shows on your nametag/tab list by clicking the "Cosmetic" menu and selecting the new "Nametag Icons". So if you don't want to show your Insider icon, then you can just unselect it and it will show the BLC logo!

We will be changing/adapting these icons as the community provides feedback! We are aware that the insider icon does not look that great currently and we are working on changing it.

Known Issues

There's a couple of bugs with the new Icons like the icons showing in Hypixel lobbies (floating) and some of them rendering badly. These should be fixed in 3.5.1 or 3.5.2!

Hystats upgrade

We plan on always keeping track with Hystats and updating it every update until it has every Hypixel Gamemodes.

We now track these new gamemodes:

Murder Mystery

The Pit

Duels

New Settings:

Automatically get the API key info we need for the mod to work

Allow users to disable general stats without also disabling session stats

Allow users to disable individual settings in either general or session stats without impacting the other

Added levels gained

Added experience gained

Added winstreaks per team size. Solo bedwars winstreaks and Duo bedwars winstreaks will not be considered the same winstreak (this is not 100% working, but we will fix it)

Started working on improving the general size of the mod HUD to make it less bulky

Split the general and session stats into 2 HUDs rather than 1

Can set decimal point to 0

We've also gone ahead and divided this mod into their own gamemodes, so it should a lot easier to navigate and find what you need.



Cosmetics

We've had a few new changes done to cosmetics in this update. Since these are paid cosmetics, we're always gonna look to improve them to show love to the users who help us keep this project going.

Here's what's new

You can now change your cosmetics in-game from the ESC Menu (Bottom right)

Option to remove head cosmetics if a helmet is equipped.

Pets

Not long ago we've added pets, I would love to hear feedback on them and see what we can improve for future releases! We plan on doing a lot more pets going forward, let us know what you think :D



Here's what you can do with pets:

Enable Pets - You can disable/enable Pets from showing

Name the pet - You can name your pets!

Disable Names on pets - Remove nametags on pets if they annoy you

Disable Animation - Remove the pet's animation (it will be still)

Change the pet's nametag size

Change the pet's animation delay time

Change the pet's location - You can have it on the right or left shoulder. You can also have it floating

UI Improvements/Ease of Use

For BLC 3.5 we went ahead and added a bunch of new QoL UI improvements to make the client easier to navigate and find what you're looking for.

Skyblock Mod Menu upgrade

Skyblock keeps getting new features added every update which is great but the main issue is that at this point, the mod was very hard to navigate and find what you were looking for. We thought of ways of fixing that and the best idea we came up with at this moment is making a bunch of sub mods in the "Skyblock" Mod.



Hystats Menu Upgrade:

Since you might not play every hypixel gamemodes, we went ahead and created sub mods for the Hystats mod so that you can decide what shows up on your screen easier.



Settings Menu Upgrade:
Just a general ease of use case, we wanted to make the settings page easier to navigate and easier on the eyes.



Skyblock Collection Log:



Highlight New Features:
Don't want to miss out on new buttons we've added to the UI? Badlion Client updates can have a lot of new features (I mean just look at these patch notes, and 3.4 was barely released a couple of weeks ago). So in order to make it easier for users to know what is new and has changed we have added some small pop-ups that will show as a 1-time thing when the user launches!



Highlight New Mods/settings:
We've also added a "New" tag to new mods that shows if they were added in the last update. The "!" means that a new feature was added in that mod and once you open said mod, it will be gone.




Transparent Resource Pack Menu Option:
We went ahead and added a button on the resource pack menu where you can make the background transparent. (Small button on the right of done)



Resource Pack Online Search Menu:



Replay Escape Menu:



Theme Manager/Improved Chat
Theme manager is back for insider! We made it a lot easier/simpler to use.



Chat upgrades
We've added BLC back in some capacity to BLC 3.5, now when you press your chat key, you will see a cogwheel on the far right of your chat bar. If you press this button, it will direct you to the chat settings menu and will allow you to change anything you want.

We've brought back all the chat settings we used to have in 2.0.

Smooth chat
If you've been using Insider for a while, you can see we've added this feature a while ago, This new feature should make the transition of receiving messages a lot smoother.





FOV Mod Rework

We made this mod a lot easier to use, here's the list of what was changed.

UI changed

We added logic so your fov mod uses your base FOV as a base anytime you reset it

You can now reset 1 slider at a time with a single click of a button

You choose if you want speed to change your FOV or just your sprint wobble.

You can now pick between Old/Smooth/Vanilla type.

We've changed the way the mod works so it's a lot easier to understand.

Dynamic Sprint/Bow/Status Effect. You can choose if you want your FOV to change when you are Sprinting/Pulling a bow/Speed or Slowness effect

Motion Blur Upgrades

We've gone ahead and changed a couple of things with our Motion Blur mod.

We've added the BSL motion blur as a type.

We've also re-added the Old motion blur type.

You now have 4 types of motion blur, Old, BLC 2.0, Badlion Client, BSL.

We've fixed a couple of bugs concerning rendering the blur itself.

We've changed the value of the motion blur from 1 - 10 to 1 - 100 so you can now be more precise when adjusting it.

Particles Mod Upgrade

We've added blood particles to this mod! You have a couple of options with this:

Change the color

Change the size

Show if only if you inflict damage or if anyone takes damage

Slider to change the number of them

Option to see the blood on the head of the player or the body

Legacy Versions/Removal of BLC 2.0

Like we've said in the last patch notes, it's time for the Badlion Client to look forward and focus on the growing version of Minecraft. We may adjust which version becomes Legacy or not but for this instant it will remain this way.

Legacy means that these versions will not be receiving new features and will only receive cosmetic updates and the occasional bug fixes. The reason for this is because these versions do not get a lot of players online for over a year now and it's using a lot of our dev time that could be used for 1.8 and the latest versions! So this means that those versions will be getting a lot more testing/features in the future!

BLC 2.0 was originally kept because we understood some players could not play BLC 3.0/Didn't like the new UI, etc and we wanted to ease the transition to BLC 3.0. After a year now it's time to move on from this version and fully focus on BLC 3.0!

Pve Mods

SECRET D:

All of these should be fixed by the time 3.5.2 rolls out

NameTag icons- weird rendering at places it shouldn't, weird scaling

RP Menu - Kinda laggy and pretty clunky to use at the moment. We will be changing how it works soon

FPS Boost - Some issues with player movements/stuff not rendering correctly

Hat cosmetic off by default with helmets on.

What an hectic update! BLC 3.5 was a lot of work and we can't wait to get started on BLC 3.6 to bring you guys even more FPS and other highly requested features.

We will be gathering feedback on what you guys liked/didn't like from this update and adjust to what we think would work best.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for fulfilling my request! Namely this mighty insider icon! Now you can turn on some color and it will always be!)
And yet, thank you for your responsiveness!
I wrote in the poll that it would be cool to add pets and add them!
I'm happy
