Whether it's for performance or using our built-in features, we've got you covered! In this article, we’ll be discussing why Lunar Client is perfect for streamers, how you can set it up, and more.

Why is Lunar Client perfect for Minecraft Streaming?

Lunar Client is perfect for all Minecraft players because of its unique features that stand out from the competition. We have features perfect for streamers who want to hide their username when playing competitive gamemodes, such as Hypixel Bedwars and Hoplite Battle Royale. Lunar Client provides you with more advantages than using the Vanilla Minecraft launcher, as it provides users with easy and simplified ways to customize their Minecraft experience without being too technical.

The All in One Minecraft Client

Not only does Lunar Client have the best Minecraft mods, but it also has an easy-to-use mod-loading system, which allows players to add their own mods and modpacks to the client without having to go through strenuous effort. Players can also customize their own modpacks on the client and even enable or disable Lunar features.

Best Minecraft Client for Performance

If your PC struggles with maintaining performance, Lunar Client has a variety of performance enhancing options for you to customize, including our Turbo Entities feature, which helps optimize certain entities, making it perfect for players who regularly play on performance heavy servers/worlds.

How to Set-up Lunar Client for Streaming?

To get started, you’ll need to open your streaming software. We recommend using OBS for this tutorial. After you’ve opened OBS, click on the + icon under the Scenes tab to create a new scene. Then, you’ll need to repeat that process under the Sources tab, and click on Game Capture. Finally, add Lunar Client to your selected window and change the mode to Capture specific window.
