Modules

Lunar Client also comes with version-specific modules which are directly integrated into Lunar Client to give you even more features while playing Minecraft. As of now, OptiFine, Sodium, and Forge modules are available on Lunar Client. While the OptiFine and Sodium modules optimize Minecraft for higher FPS and give advanced visual customization options, the Forge module bundles additional forge mods within Lunar Client to allow you to use Lunar Client in different ways while playing Minecraft. Unfortunately, it is not possible to add your own mods to Lunar Client at this time. At the moment, there are only 2 mods available within the Forge module, and they are the Not Enough Updates & the SkyblockAddons mod, which are extremely helpful for Hypixel Skyblock players. However, the Sodium module bundles a few Fabric mods that enhance your gameplay on modern versions of Minecraft, these mods include: Iris - a shaders mod intended to be compatible with existing OptiFine shader packs, Indium - a Sodium add-on providing support for the Fabric Rendering API, and Phosphor - a lighting engine optimization mod.

Is Lunar Client a Hacked Client?

Lunar Client is not a hacked client or cheat that grants players an unfair advantage. Lunar Client is trusted by thousands of players who use it daily without issue on prominent Minecraft servers like the Hypixel Network, where it is an approved client. While some Minecraft servers prohibit certain features, usually server owners disable certain features using our server-side API -- Apollo. When features are disabled by the server, they appear with a lock symbol, grayed out, and include a tooltip explaining it's disabled. It is recommended that users also review the server's guidelines before using some of Lunar Client's capabilities.
