We are thrilled to share today with the entire Minecraft community that the Badlion Client is now live on Linux! In the last few months our development team has been working tirelessly to finish the final pieces of Linux support. This includes fixing the compatibility problems we discussed in our announcement blog post about Linux last year. Just in time for BLC 3.1 the team of developers was able to finish the Linux support.
We want to quickly thank the Linux community and their patience during the past few months. We know that we were not unfortunately capable of releasing the Linux version at the end of 2020 as we had planned, but we hope that you are thrilled nonetheless to try out the most feature packed Minecraft version available for free!
