Community Edition · 1.18.9
A cinematic visual studio for Minecraft. 108 modules, eight one-key presets and a glass interface that makes every setting feel intentional — all client-side, on Fabric.
The showcase
Every backdrop below is bundled with the mod. Swap between them in Style, or import your own art and let the client frame it with glass, blur and motion.
Previews are the bundled backdrop art. The mod renders them behind the title, pause and studio screens.
Inside the mod
Press Right Shift and the client opens as a searchable, draggable workspace. Eight tabs, live previews, plain-language descriptions and a real undo for bulk edits.
Eight tabs, one window, zero guesswork.
Visuals, Presets, World, Environment FX, HUD, Style, Configs and Setup. Search across modules and their settings, dock the inspector, and move the window wherever you want it.
Readable, punchy, never noisy.
Crystal and anchor visuals, hit sparks, damage feedback, a custom crosshair and attack indicator, totem pop skins, low shield, small sword and 3D weapons.
Wings, halos, pets, trails.
Angel wings, halos, China hats, 3D skin layers, animated pets, player trails, capes and emotes — including a lighter-and-smoke cigar emote on H.
Weather you can actually see.
Custom and per-dimension skies, realistic rain, rolling mist, volumetric light, visible wind and leaves, meteor showers, fireflies, storms and seasonal palettes.
21 widgets, exact placement.
FPS, ping, CPS, coordinates, speed, armour, effects, keystrokes, memory, session, now playing and more. Move, scale and restyle each widget in the HUD editor.
Profiles, import, export, undo.
Save and load named profiles, import and export them as files, and undo a preset or bulk colour pass in one click. Switching presets keeps your language and editor layout.

One key, whole look
Each preset resets the visual stack to a curated recipe instead of piling onto whatever was already on. Not feeling it? Undo restores your previous look — even your language.
Everything on, tuned for screenshots. Aurora skies, dense totem bursts and full effects.
Minimal sparks, readable nametags and no clutter. Built for fights you want to win.
Combat essentials with a little more shine — star hits, bloom and afterimages.
Silver Storm skies, soft depth, light shafts and a filmic, desaturated palette.
Amber mist, drifting leaves, golden pollen and low, warm light through the trees.
Frosted air, snowfall and seasonal colour without turning the world into a market stall.
Trimmed effects, a 240 FPS target and reduced bloom for competitive framerates.
A calm, neutral starting point. Every module at its authored defaults.
Make it yours
The client's accent colour runs through the studio, HUD, hit effects and trails. Pick a palette below to preview it on this page.
Tap to try. In-game, colours apply globally or per effect group.
Palette preview is a website demo; in-game themes also tint glass, buttons and highlights.
The full interface, module descriptions and tooltips.
Twenty-two authored sky scenes, a custom-image slot and separate skies for each dimension. Import your own panorama and it joins the list.
Install
Set up Fabric Loader 0.18.4 or newer for Minecraft 1.21.11, with Java 21 installed.
Place Fabric API 0.141.3+1.21.11 in your instance's mods folder. Visual Client depends on it.
Add visual-client-1.18.9.jar to mods. Use the normal jar, never the -sources build.
Launch the game and press Right Shift. Everything saves to config/visualbyaxolbtc
Questions
No. Visual Client is a normal Fabric mod — drop it in mods and play. There is no sign-in, key check or separate launcher.
It is client-side, so servers do not install anything. Server rules and anti-cheat still apply, and some servers restrict visual or combat-adjacent mods — check before joining.
Yes, with sensible fallbacks. Modules that would fight a shader pack (rain, fog, lighting, vegetation sway) defer to it so you don't get doubled effects.
Every effect has performance settings, and the High FPS preset trims bloom, particle counts and distance. The performance module also has adaptive quality and an entity cap.
In config/visualbyaxolbtc inside your Minecraft instance. Profiles can be exported and imported as files, and presets keep your language and editor layout.
This release focuses on the visual studio. It excludes World Shaders, Party and Tomorrowland, and does not include authentication, licence checks, hardware identification or private server integrations.
Use visual-client-1.18.9.jar. The -sources jar in the build folder is for developers and will not load as a mod.
