Using the client

Troubleshooting

Fixes for the most common problems — the game won't start, linking fails, your cape doesn't show, and where to find the log.

Find your problem below. If nothing helps, ask on Discord and bring your log file.

The game doesn't start

A mod is missing or too old

LeiCraftClient needs three other things. If one is missing or too old, Fabric Loader doesn't start the game. Instead it shows an error that names what's wrong. Look for these names:

Name in the errorFix
fabric-language-kotlinInstall Fabric Language Kotlin 1.14.2 or newer from Modrinth. This is the one people forget.
fabric-apiInstall Fabric API for 26.3 from Modrinth.
fabricloaderYour Fabric Loader is too old. Install 0.19.5 or newer.
minecraftWrong Minecraft version. This release of LeiCraftClient needs exactly 26.3.

Always download the file for Minecraft 26.3 and Fabric. Keep only one file of each mod in the mods folder, and delete old LeiCraftClient files after an update. All versions are listed in Requirements.

The game crashes

Save logs/latest.log (where to find it) and ask on Discord.

The LeiCraftClient button is missing

  • Check that you started the right profile or instance, and that the mod is in its mods folder.
  • The button goes below the Realms button (or Mod Menu's Mods). Mods that rebuild the title screen can hide it. Then use the button in the pause menu, or the commands.

Account status problems

The options screen and /leicraftclient status show your account status.

StatusWhat to do
Offline account — linking unavailableYou play with an offline (cracked) account. Linking and the wardrobe need a real Microsoft account. You still see everyone's capes.
Account services are offTurn the Account switch ON in the LeiCraftClient options.
Connecting… (for a long time)Check your internet connection. To sign in again, turn the Account switch OFF and ON.
Error: Mojang rejected the session (restart the launcher)Close the game and your launcher, start them again, and sign in to your Microsoft account if asked.
Error: Mojang session servers are unavailableMojang's servers have a problem. Wait a bit, then click Retry.
Error: API unreachable: …The game can't reach the LeiCraftClient server. Check your internet. A firewall, antivirus or school network may block it. Try again later.

"Can't reach the LeiCraftClient API: …" in the wardrobe means the same as the last row.

Linking doesn't work

ProblemWhat to do
"The link expired. Use "Link account" again to get a new one."The link was older than 10 minutes. Click Link account again.
The website says This link doesn't workThe link expired or was already used. Make a new one in the game.
The website says Already linkedThis Minecraft account belongs to another LeiCraftClient account. Unlink it there first, or click Unlink in the game.
"You can link at most 5 Minecraft accounts"Unlink an account you don't use on Minecraft accounts.
The browser didn't openClick the link the mod posted in the chat.
The game doesn't show Linked as …It takes a few seconds. If you closed the game in between, start it again.

More about linking: Link your account.

I don't see my cape

Go through this list from top to bottom:

  1. Are you linked? The LeiCraftClient options show Linked as ….
  2. Did you save? On the website, the wardrobe only changes your look after you click Save. The Equip on … button in the shop saves at once.
  3. Right account? Every Minecraft account has its own loadout. In the wardrobe, pick the account you play with.
  4. Custom capes is ON in the LeiCraftClient options.
  5. Minecraft's own cape switch is ON: in Minecraft's options, open Skin Customization and check Cape. It hides LeiCraft capes too.
  6. Give it time. A change from the website reaches the game within about 10 minutes. Click Reload capes & cosmetics to load it now.
  7. Check the website: open https://client.leicraftmc.de/players/ followed by your Minecraft name. If your cape is listed under Wearing, your save worked.

Other players don't see it

  • They need LeiCraftClient too. Players without it see your normal skin.
  • Their game also waits up to about 10 minutes before it asks again. They can click Reload capes & cosmetics.
  • Another cape mod or client may draw its own cape over yours. See Essential and other cape mods.

An item that moderators took down stops showing for everyone.

Cosmetics are missing or look wrong

  • Check that Custom cosmetics is ON in the options.
  • The cosmetic sits wrong on your arms? Pick another variant or Automatic. See Variants.
  • You can wear at most 10 cosmetics at once.

"Too many requests — try again in … s"

The LeiCraftClient server limits how often you can do some things. For example, you can create 10 links in 10 minutes for one Minecraft account. Wait for the seconds the message shows, then try again. The mod also waits on its own.

On the website, the inventory says "Too many redeem attempts. Try again later." after 10 codes in 10 minutes.

Discord doesn't show what I'm playing

  • Rich Presence needs the Discord desktop app. Discord in the browser can't show it.
  • Check that Discord Rich Presence is ON in the LeiCraftClient options.
  • You never see your own buttons. Ask a friend to look at your profile.
  • Check that Discord's own privacy settings allow sharing your activity.

Find the log file

The game writes everything that happens to logs/latest.log in your game folder. It is replaced on every start, so copy it right after the problem happened.

  • Minecraft Launcher: the .minecraft folder. On Windows, press Win + R, type %appdata%\.minecraft and press Enter.
  • Prism Launcher, Modrinth App, CurseForge and others: the instance's game folder. Most launchers have a button to open it.

Lines from the mod contain LeiCraft, for example LeiCraft sign-in failed: ….

Share logs/latest.log when you ask for help, but never config/leicraftclient-session.json. That file holds your sign-in token.

Get help

Ask on the LeiCraftMC Discord. Tell us:

  • what you did and what happened,
  • the output of /leicraftclient status,
  • your launcher and your list of mods,
  • and attach logs/latest.log.
