Nether ClientDownload

Nether Client features

Everything you get with one free download: a client for Minecraft: Java Edition with tuned performance mods, a HUD you lay out and restyle, shareable profiles and voice chat, and Nether Launcher to run it and your other instances. Each picture is a real screen from the current build. What makes it fast, with every mod credited and our own work explained, is on the performance page.

01

Performance

Bundled mods, kept up to date, and our own performance patches

perf / 04

Fabric API and Mod Menu

Installed alongside, so the Fabric mods you add yourself have what they need.

perf / ours

Performance patches we wrote ourselves

On top of the bundled mods, Nether Client ships performance patches we write ourselves. They go after work the game repeats every frame without needing to, mostly in the moments that hurt most on big servers: a screen full of players, text and interface. We do not publish how they work.

  • Where they helpBusy servers and text-heavy screens.
  • What they never doChange what you see, change gameplay or give you an advantage.
  • Always reversibleEach one can be turned off by support if it ever misbehaves on your machine.

Fair play and privacy

What it does not do
servers

A client, not a cheat

Use it on any server. It has no features that give an unfair advantage: no reach, no x-ray, nothing that plays for you.

privacy

What leaves your computer

The client sends pseudonymous performance reports, which you can switch off. The launcher talks to Modrinth for mods and to Microsoft and Mojang for sign-in. No ads. Everything it sends.
