General

Common questions about Fork Client

No. Fork Client is a client-side utility mod focused entirely on quality-of-life features and rendering enhancements. It does not provide any competitive advantages, auto-play capabilities, or server-side exploits. All features are designed to improve your visual and organizational experience.
Yes, Fork Client is completely free. It is licensed under CC0-1.0 (Creative Commons Zero), which means you can use, modify, and distribute it without any restrictions. There are no premium tiers, no paywalls, and no hidden costs.
Yes. The source code is publicly available on GitLab at gitlab.com/mh77mahid/fork-client. You can inspect the code, report issues, or contribute improvements. The CC0-1.0 license means you have maximum freedom to use and modify the code.
Fork Client runs entirely on your local client. It does not interact with or modify server-side behavior. All visual and HUD changes are local only — other players and server administrators cannot see your Fork Client modifications.
Fork Client is designed to be a client-side utility mod, not a cheat. However, some servers have their own rules about mod usage. Since all changes are visual and client-side, they are generally indistinguishable from vanilla gameplay to other players. Always check your server's mod policy to be safe.

Installation

Setting up Fork Client

You need three things: (1) Minecraft Java Edition, (2) Fabric mod loader installed for your Minecraft version, and (3) Fabric API mod. Fork Client is a Fabric mod and will not work with Forge, Quilt, or other mod loaders.
1. Install Fabric Loader from fabricmc.net for your Minecraft version. 2. Install the Fabric API mod in your mods folder. 3. Download Fork Client from Modrinth or the Downloads page. 4. Place the .jar file in your Minecraft mods folder. 5. Launch Minecraft with the Fabric profile. That's it — no extra configuration is needed.
The mods folder is located in your Minecraft directory: • Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\mods • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods • Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods If the folder doesn't exist, create it manually.
Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency that must be installed separately. Download it from Modrinth or CurseForge and place the .jar in your mods folder alongside Fork Client.
No. Fork Client is built exclusively for the Fabric mod loader. If you use Forge, you will need to switch to Fabric to use Fork Client. Forge and Fabric mods are not cross-compatible.

Features

Understanding Fork Client's features

The Click GUI is an in-game overlay that lets you enable, disable, and configure all Fork Client modules. Open it with your assigned keybind (default: Right Shift). Modules are organized into categories and can be toggled with a click or bound to keyboard shortcuts.
MotionBlur Plus applies a post-processing motion blur effect to your screen when you move or look around. It's configurable from 0-100% intensity via the Click GUI or the /motionblur command. Unlike shader packs, it has minimal performance impact.
Entity Culling optimizes rendering by not rendering entities that are behind walls or too far away to be seen. This can significantly improve FPS in crowded areas like mob farms, villages, or servers with many players. The render distance threshold is configurable.
The HUD Editor lets you customize the on-screen display elements. You can reposition, resize, and configure the ArrayList (which shows active modules), armor durability display, and other HUD components. Changes persist across sessions.
AntiKnockback prevents your character from being pushed back by attacks, explosions, or other forces. It can be configured to block all knockback or only specific types. This is a client-side only effect — other players will still see you getting hit normally.
Yes. Fork Client's HUD elements support color customization. You can change colors through the HUD Editor or via configuration files. The ArrayList, armor display, and other HUD components all accept color settings.

Technical

Troubleshooting and technical details

Fork Client supports Minecraft versions 26.1 and above on Fabric. Check the Downloads page for the latest compatible versions. Each release specifies which Minecraft versions it supports.
Common fixes: 1. Make sure you're using Fabric (not Forge). 2. Ensure Fabric API is installed and matches your Minecraft version. 3. Check that you're using a supported Minecraft version. 4. Remove any conflicting mods. 5. Check the latest.log file in your Minecraft directory for error details.
Fork Client is generally compatible with other Fabric mods. However, some mods that heavily modify rendering or HUD elements may conflict. If you experience issues, try removing other client-side mods one at a time to identify conflicts.
Fork Client is designed to be lightweight. Features like Entity Culling actually improve FPS by optimizing rendering. The HUD and Click GUI have negligible performance impact. MotionBlur Plus has a small cost depending on intensity, but is still lighter than shader packs.
Fork Client settings are stored in your Minecraft directory under the fork-client folder. Configuration files are in JSON format and can be edited manually if needed. Changes made in-game are automatically saved.
