In-game features

Everything the mod adds to the game is on one options screen and in one chat command. This page explains every button and setting.

Open the options screen

• Title screen: click LeiCraftClient below the Realms button. If you use Mod Menu, the button sits below Mods.
• Pause menu: press Esc in a world. LeiCraftClient sits directly above Mods (with Mod Menu) or above Minecraft's options button.

The options screen

From top to bottom:

The switches only change what you see. Turning off Custom capes doesn't hide your cape from other players. Every change is saved at once in the config file.

The account status line

Below LeiCraftClient account you see one of these lines:

Commands

The /leicraftclient commands run on your own computer. They are never sent to the server, so they work on every server and in singleplayer.

Messages the mod writes to the chat on its own, like the link, start with [LeiCraft].

Tab-list badge

Players who used LeiCraftClient in the last 30 days get the LeiCraft mark in front of their name in the tab list. You only see the badge if you have the mod.

The badge doesn't depend on capes or cosmetics. It comes from the mod signing in, so you get it with a real Microsoft account and the Account switch ON. You don't have to link for it.

Discord Rich Presence

With the Discord desktop app running, your Discord profile shows what you are doing:

It also shows how long you've been there, the LeiCraft logo, and two buttons: View Profile (your player page on the website) and Download Client.

• The server's address is never sent to Discord, only the name from your server list.
• Discord hides presence buttons from yourself. Your friends see them.
• Discord in the browser can't show it. If you start the desktop app later, the presence appears on its own.

Turn it off: set Discord Rich Presence to OFF in the options screen. The presence disappears right away, and the mod stops connecting to Discord.

Update notice

Once per game start, the mod checks for a newer release. If there is one, the options screen shows a green Update available: … button below the version line. It opens the release page on the website, where you can download the new version.

The mod doesn't update itself. Download the new file and put it in your mods folder instead of the old one, so that only one LeiCraftClient file is in there. A stable version is only offered stable releases.

Window title

The game window's title starts with LeiCraftClient and the mod version, followed by Minecraft's normal title, for example LeiCraftClient <version> | Minecraft* 26.3. If another mod changes the title, LeiCraftClient leaves it alone.

Config file

The settings are saved in config/leicraftclient.json inside your game folder (in launchers like Prism Launcher or the Modrinth App, that's the instance's game folder). The mod creates it on the first start. The options screen covers the usual settings, so you rarely need to edit this file. If you do, close the game first.

{
  "apiBaseUrl": "https://api.client.leicraftmc.de",
  "websiteUrl": "https://client.leicraftmc.de",
  "capesEnabled": true,
  "cosmeticsEnabled": true,
  "accountServicesEnabled": true,
  "cacheSeconds": 600,
  "discordRichPresenceEnabled": true,
  "discordAppId": "1006198534581796945"
}

If a value is broken, the mod uses the default. Missing keys are written back on the next start.

The mod writes two more things:

• config/leicraftclient-session.json holds your sign-in token. Keep it private and don't share it.
• leicraftclient/cache/assets/ holds downloaded capes and models. You can delete it safely. The mod downloads them again.
