A nifty little program that provides a Minecraft launcher and a lot of different gameplay features for fans of the game.

An Overview of Badlion

Everyone knows that Minecraft is one of the biggest video games in the history of gaming. It can be played on consoles, computers, and even through mobile devices via apps. There are all sorts of different mods and a wide variety of versions of the game, and many of these things are freely available at this point. Badlion is one of the best in free utilities for Minecraft. It is a small Minecraft launcher for a variety of platforms, and it allows you to go through a range of gameplay options.

Known as Badlion Client, this is a utility and a network that was designed to help you improve your play, while also offering you a platform to launch your game session. The creators claim that their launch client offers one of the most impressive unique server experiences while also providing people with access to other Minecraft players in a large, open community.

The Features of Badlion

Badlion’s features are what sell this utility for a lot of Minecraft players. After all, it’s not as if a launcher is needed for most gamers, and so a program like this needs to pack a punch. With Badlion, you get a launcher that’s very lightweight and easy to use, and it will run on Mac, PC and even Linux. It’s been out since 2013, so it’s not new by any stretch. It does seem to update occasionally, so you’re not stuck using features that are nine years old.

The features are packed into a small platform, and the first thing people tend to notice is the increased FPS (frames per second) feature that helps to make their gameplay smoother and more enjoyable. There’s also a BAC client-side anti-cheat feature, which is truly a game-saver for a shared server experience, where some players might come in with cheats activated. There are also tools like chat customization, anti-trolling tools, IP search, and more.

How Badlion Works

Badlion works like any other game launcher, if you’re familiar with the genre. Basically, it downloads just like any other program, only you will need the actual Minecraft game so that the game loads up on the Badlion platform. The screen you’ll get subsequently is very close to the regular Minecraft screen, so you should be able to easily navigate your way around and figure out what’s going on.

You have some pretty clear options via the menu. You can find all the different chat features, anti-cheat options, IP options, and much more by just scrolling across the opening page. In-game features may be a little more to figure out, but they become second nature once you play enough.
