The 10 Best Minecraft Clients for PvP

Minecraft fans looking to get an edge over others in PvP mode can use this list of best Clients to help improve their overall gameplay.

More commonly known as simply ‘clients’ in Minecraft, client modifications are direct modifications of the Minecraft game files. Client mods require mod loads like Minecraft Forge or Fabric Loader to install and utilize properly. We will list the best Minecraft clients you can install and use in-game to raise your edge in Player vs. Player modes (PvP).

Normally, Minecraft: Java Edition is the version of Minecraft that generally supports this type of thing, as it’s the PC-based platform ideal for modding. It is important to consider that some of these mods are known to give players a noticeable advantage over others, and public servers may ban you from utilizing them — so use them at your own risk.

Once Pixel Client is installed, access your Main Menu In-game, and locate the Mod Settings toggle on the top left of the screen. From here, all your settings will be displayed, including Status Effect, Armor Status, Toggle Sprint, KeyStrokes, ToggleSneak, and a few more — all ideal for PvP gameplay. Also, you’ll receive a nice FPS boost from this client, which is always helpful.

PvPLounge

This is not one of the more popular Minecraft PvP clients, but a great one that is often underrated. PvPLounge features a variety of mods that are continually being updated and added by the developers, as well as full customization and even a cross-server chat system — accessible via the in-game overlay. We highly recommend it.

Salwyrr Launcher

Salwyrr Launcher stands out in the Minecraft PvP scene with its unbeatable frame rate, guaranteeing PvP players a buttery-smooth gaming experience. On the downside, Salwyrr Launcher’s UI customization options may not be as extensive as other clients. Moreover, its lesser-known status might make it more challenging for some players to access.
