What you need

• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit).
• A Microsoft account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition.
• Minecraft 26.3 run once from the official launcher. Dirt Client prepares the game's files from your own install the first time it starts, and ships none of Mojang's files.

What it is

One program, no launcher: you start it, sign in, and play. It speaks vanilla 26.3 on the wire, so it plays by the rules of the servers you already play on. The PvP mods people expect from Lunar and Dawn are behind a Right Shift menu, and every one is off by default. It is built on Horizon, the open-source Minecraft rewrite in Rust.
