What Badlion Client is
Badlion Client is an all-in-one Minecraft launcher for Windows, macOS, Linux, and an API platform. It combines FPS improvements with a built-in library of more than 100 integrated mods, including Replay, Zoom, AutoGG, and Keystrokes. Badlion says OptiFine and its Betterframes improvements handle much of the performance work automatically. Supported Minecraft versions listed are 1.8, 1.12, 1.16, 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21, for Singleplayer, Realms, and compatible servers. Standard resource packs are supported, with illegal textures filled in to prevent viewing through normally opaque objects. The client checks for updates at startup and in the background. A free Badlion account is required. The Free plan costs nothing and includes multi-version support and frequent updates. Premium costs $3.33 a month billed annually or 4.99 USD monthly; Premium+ starts at $5.83 a month.
