Today, we're happy to announce that Shotbow is partnering with Lunar Client. Lunar Client is a free modpack for Minecraft 1.7, 1.8, 1.12, 1.15, and 1.16, available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Wait... what?

Yep, that's right! Even though we just released an announcement warning you that Lunar Client might be potentially dangerous to use, we're taking that back.

So... what happened?

We have been in touch with the Lunar Client team over the last few weeks. They have been really awesome to work with, and they moved quickly to patch the bugs that we found in Lunar Client which could give its users an unfair advantage.

Now that Lunar Client no longer gives an advantage over the Vanilla client on Shotbow, we are taking the following actions:

1. We are adding Lunar Client to our approved mods list. That means you will not be banned if you use an unmodified version of Lunar Client on Shotbow. It also means we're retracting our previous statement about Lunar Client.
2. We are partnering with Lunar Client. More info on the details of the partnership below.

Starting now, simply click the Shotbow logo in the Lunar Client launcher in order to join Shotbow, now even faster than ever. No more signing in, clicking on "Multiplayer", clicking on "Shotbow", and clicking "Join Server" — now you can join with just one click!

Also, new players may join Shotbow since our server is now in their launcher. If you see any new players around, make sure to be friendly and help them out if they need it!



Ever wanted to show off your support for Shotbow in the form of a cape/cloak? You can now sport a Shotbow Cloak, and all other Lunar Client users will be able to see it! 50% of proceeds will go to Shotbow, allowing us to make a better experience for all of our players.

Be one of the first to purchase this awesome new cloak here!


Thanks for flying Shotbow!
