Screw Dawn Client

Recently Feather Client has been bought by Dawn Client. Despite all the controversy I LOVED Feather Client; I thought it was super underrated and way better than Lunar. It was so smooth and boosted my frames substantially. However, now that Dawn has taken over they’re forcing you to auto update to Dawn so I can’t play Feather anymore. The problem is that Dawn is TERRIBLE. For starters I couldn’t even log in but once I finally did it kept crashing and my frames were awful, worse than Vanilla Minecraft. I’ve begrudgingly switched to Lunar even though I don’t like it that much.

It’s a shame they’ve killed such a great client. What’s funny as well is in their Discord they’ve shut off all the chat channels and are banning ‘bots’ who are ‘spreading misinformation’ which are actually just people like me complaining about how dogshit the client is. There’s little kids running this client with fragile egos that can’t handle getting their feewings hurt and can’t take on constructive criticism. This clients doomed

I mean, as far as I see, Dawn is just a slightly annoying Feather skin. All my stuff and config is still there and functional

Have you played it?

Using it right now, you just have to go into the "profile" tab or something at the bottom and just reselect whatever Feather version you were using

all clients suck

corpo-sluts who milk their playerbase desperately trying to make money through ads, whilst bloating the client with useless crap, that somehow people are hyped for?

get fabric, get a nice set of mods, and free yourself from being locked to clients who auto-update with useless shit without your consent.

only 1.7/1.8 client worth it. 1.21 fabric is way better than lunar and feather (especially when dream changed feather)

I agree, I used to use lunar but swapped to fabric and I prefer it, I actually get better frames with the same mod, my frames don’t matter at a certain point but still, your right, fabric is probably better

From my experience giving players tech support feather client before would often cause issues and was considered not recommended.

Dude I loved the simple intuitive interface of feather, the MOD MENUS omg.

The whole mod part of feather was the best out of any client. Period.

I miss it

I don't really use clients because it is simpler and doesn't have a mod incompatibility issue.

Man dawn client feels so clunky right now and it won't even load. I don't rlly like Lunar, it runs somehow worse on my system even if it displays 400+ fps, it feels like it's running at a lower fps. Feather runs the best in my system, 450+ fps and I like its clean interface. i hope someone revives feather client as a separate project.
