SwiftClient 0.2.0

Capes work again

Picking a cape failed with "Mojang could not verify this session" because Mojang ties that check to the player's IP, so the cape server never saw a match. The launcher now retries with your Minecraft access token, which the cape server verifies with Mojang and never stores. Everyone on 26.1–26.3 gets capes; the mod now ships for 26.2 as well as 26.3.

Live player counts

The Play screen shows who is on SwiftSMP right now (a normal Minecraft server ping) and how many SwiftClient players are online, plus the total install count. Counts are anonymous and can be switched off in Settings.

Faster, smoother, self-updating

• Verified game files are cached, so launching no longer re-hashes every library and asset.
• Updates are checked hourly and any build that cannot install itself still gets a one-click download.
• Every Minecraft version still launches with the performance mod set, Discord presence and your own mods; versions without a SwiftClient mod jar are labelled in the picker.
• Better cape error messages, a small view transition in the launcher, and 26.1/26.2 API compatibility shims in the mod.

Install over an older version (your accounts, mods and settings are kept). Windows SmartScreen may warn: More info → Run anyway.
