Saturn Client
by saturn
Saturn Client, a Fabric client mod, gives players a customizable Minecraft client with cosmetics, animated capes and hats, and a modern interface with animations.
What it does
Saturn Client is a client-side Minecraft client modification for players who want more control over how the game looks and behaves. Its cosmetics, including cloaks and hats, are offered free of charge, and the animated cloaks are among the options. Changes to the interface are drawn from a clean, modern design that uses animations throughout.
The client is built with performance and lightweight operation in mind, and development focuses on ongoing performance work along with code improvements and bug fixes. The source is available for anyone to read, and contributions from the community are accepted, including from artists and designers who work on cosmetics and visual assets. The mod requires Fabric API, and it is installed by placing it with Fabric Loader in the mods folder.
The mod has files for Fabric covering 1.21.4 – 26.3, with 0.1.6-beta+26.3 for 26.3 as the latest build, released on 2026-10-09 on the beta channel. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. It is released under All rights reserved, and it is not open source, though public links to the source code, issue tracker and wiki are available.
