A few notes
Things people tend to ask.
Short, honest answers about how the archive is put together — what the labels mean, where the downloads come from, and why some entries feel a little dusty.
What is mc-clients.xyz?
mc-clients.xyz is an archive-style directory for Minecraft clients. It helps you browse by platform, loader, version support, and access model without digging through scattered download pages.
What does the Obsolete tag mean?
Obsolete means the client appears to be no longer maintained. That can mean development stopped, version support is outdated, download links are stale, or the original project is effectively archived.
Does obsolete mean a client is unsafe?
Not automatically. It means you should treat the entry with extra caution. Old clients may have broken downloads, poor compatibility with modern Minecraft versions, or missing upstream support.
Do you host the client files?
Usually no. Most entries link to the original project site, GitHub page, or upstream download location. Availability depends on the original source remaining online.
Why are some clients marked Paid and others Free?
The directory separates access models so you can filter quickly. Paid entries normally link to the official product site, while free entries point to the published download location when one is available.
How fresh is the version information?
Version data depends on the current archive record. If a project has stopped updating, the latest supported Minecraft version shown here may be historical rather than current.
