Aura
The #1 alternative to Lunar, Badlion, and Feather. Insane FPS boosts, QOL features, and unique mods that outperform any other client.
⚡ Aura •ᴗ• - READ FULL DESCRIPTION 🙏
Maximum FPS. Zero Bloat. Modern Minecraft.
If it runs on a 2012 MacBook Air, it'll fly on your PC.
🛑 The Problem With Every Other Modpack
You've seen this before:
- "Lightweight" packs strip Minecraft to bare bones, destroying the experience
- "Feature-rich" packs bloat you with 150+ untested mods that tank your FPS
You shouldn't have to choose between features and frames.
✨ Enter Aura
100 hand-picked mods. Every single one benchmarked. Zero bloat. Maximum frames.
🎯 Inspired by Lunar & Feather clients. No compromises.
🚀 Performance Targets
| Your Hardware | The Aura Effect |
|---|---|
| 🥔 Low-End / Old Laptops | 2–3× FPS over vanilla. Finally playable. |
| 🖥️ Mid-Range Systems | 1.5–2× FPS + buttery smooth frame pacing. |
| 🚀 High-End Builds | Micro-stutters eliminated. Locked high frames. |
Community reported benchmarks. Your results may vary, but they will improve.
🚨 CRITICAL: Choose Your Mode
Aura includes Flashback (replay recording) and ViaFabricPlus (multi-version servers).
⚠️ THEY CONFLICT. YOU MUST DISABLE ONE OR YOUR GAME WILL CRASH.

❓ FAQ
Will this work on servers?
Yes. Aura is 100% client-side. Works on any Minecraft server, vanilla or modded.
Will I get banned on Hypixel/competitive servers?
Aura contains zero unfair advantages—only optimization and visual improvements. That said, always check specific server rules before playing.
90 mods sounds like a lot. Won't this slow things down?
Most are tiny optimizations or required libraries. The actual "feature" mods number around 50, and every single one passed performance testing. If it made things slower, it's not in Aura.
Can I add my own mods?
Absolutely. Aura is a foundation, not a prison. Just test anything you add to make sure it doesn't conflict or hurt performance.
The game crashes immediately on launch!
You forgot to disable either Flashback or ViaFabricPlus. These two mods conflict with each other. Go back to the Choose Your Mode section and pick one.
Can I switch between Creator and Multi-Server mode?
Yes. Just swap which mod is disabled. Takes 10 seconds.
