Client 1.8.9

Raises Minecraft's simultaneous sound limit. Vanilla stops at 28 sounds at once and takes a channel off an older sound to play a new one, which is why a hit or a block place goes missing in a busy lobby. Takes effect on the next launch, or on a resource reload (F3+T).

Real web pages on your HUD, for scrolling YouTube Shorts while you play. Next and Previous skip videos; the Use Browser key (or a click on the page with chat or an inventory open) focuses it, with tabs, an address bar and a loading bar on top: click, type, search and sign in, drag it by its bar, resize it from any edge, pin and mute tabs, open more windows and switch it between mobile and desktop. Your sign-ins and cookies stay on your PC. Instagram and TikTok pages open, but their videos do not play yet.

Keeps the last few seconds of your game ready to save. Press the clip key and they are saved as a video in your clips folder. The first time you turn it on, the video encoder (FFmpeg, 115 MB) is downloaded once.

Your own text on the HUD - a name, a reminder, a stream handle. & colour codes work.

Lowers the frame rate while the game is in the background, so alt-tabbing to Discord or a browser frees up your PC. Full speed the moment you click back in.

Shows the resource pack you are using: its icon and its name.

How long you have been playing this session.

When you take a screenshot (F2) the screen flashes and a small preview slides in from a corner, with Copy and Delete buttons. Screenshots still save to your normal screenshots folder.

Per-sound volume, finer than Minecraft's eight sliders. Turn portals down without touching block sounds, mute cave ambience, make hits louder. 100% is vanilla; 0% is silent. Anything not listed has a Custom Rules box at the bottom.

Extra sounds: a successful block-hit, jump reset or W-tap, breaking a bed, a final kill, a win. Each can be Orb, Pling or your own file.

Lowers master volume while the game window is unfocused (alt-tabbed), restoring it on focus.

Rebind or switch off the keys Minecraft hardcodes — F1 Hide GUI, F3 Debug, F5 Perspective and the F3 combinations. These are not in Controls and vanilla gives you no way to change them. Set a row to a different key to move it; press ESC while binding to switch it off entirely.
