Which Minecraft versions does Cipher Client support?

Cipher Client 1.2.0 supports Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. Each version has its own JAR, and each JAR only works on the version in its name.

How do I open the Cipher Client menu?

Press Right Shift in game. The key can be changed in Settings. In the menu you can search modules, open their settings, pin favourites and set keybinds.

What is Crash Guard?

Crash Guard is local protection that inspects what a server sends before your game processes it. It handles particle, sound, TNT and packet floods, oversized NBT and books, invalid numbers and unsafe resource packs. It is on by default.

Can I use different settings per server?

Yes. Your normal config is the default profile, which you can copy to one server or to every saved server from the Profiles button in the main menu. Server Profiles then switches to the right config automatically per server, and you can save up to three complete configs.

Does Cipher Client collect data?

Does Cipher Client tell me when there is an update?

Yes. Since version 1.0.1, Cipher Client checks once per launch whether a newer version exists for your Minecraft version and shows a one-time notice in game. Download the new JAR from cipherclient.net and replace the old one. The check can be switched off in Settings.

Does Cipher Client have a streamer mode?

Yes. Since version 1.1.0, Streamer Mode hides your name, coordinates, server IP and private messages with one switch, and can turn on by itself while OBS or Streamlabs is running. It is part of the Privacy category, together with NameProtect, Coord Protect, Server IP Hider and Telemetry Blocker.

Do the modules work the same on Minecraft 26.x?

Yes. Since version 1.1.0, SeedCracker, AlwaysDay, NoFog, Inventory Skin, Item Lock, Custom Crosshair and other features that were 1.21.11-only also work on 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. Version 1.2.0 fixed the remaining 26.3 problems with Fly, Item Lock and Drop Protection.

Can I change how the Cipher menu looks?

Standalone Mods

Compatibility and dependency facts for the separate Cipher mods.

Which standalone Cipher mods are available?

AntiEffect, BetterChat and Cipher HUB are available from the official mods directory.

Do I need the standalone mods if I use Cipher Client?

Usually not. Cipher Client includes an AntiEffect module, a Better Chat module with timestamps, click-to-copy and anti-clear, and a Player Watcher module. The standalone BetterChat mod offers a larger chat suite, and the standalone mods suit players who only want one feature without the full client.

Are Cipher mods client-side?

Yes. Cipher Client and the standalone mods are client-side Fabric mods. They do not require a server installation, although server rules can still restrict which client-side mods players may use.

Which Minecraft versions do the standalone mods support?

The standalone mods have separate builds for the Minecraft 1.21.x and 26.1+ release lines. Check each product page for the exact supported range and Java requirement.

Is Fabric required?

Yes. Cipher Client and all standalone Cipher mods are built for Fabric Loader and do not support Forge, NeoForge or other loaders.

Is Fabric API required?

It depends. Cipher Client, BetterChat and Cipher HUB require Fabric API; AntiEffect does not. Always use a Fabric API build for the same Minecraft version.

What is Cipher HUB?

Cipher HUB is a client-side shared settings interface for compatible standalone Cipher mods. BetterChat requires Cipher HUB 1.0.0 or newer; AntiEffect does not use it.

04 / TRUST

Downloads & Safety

Official sources, file verification and suspicious links.

Where should I download Cipher software?

Only from cipherclient.net. Copies on other websites, videos or file hosts may be modified or unsafe.

How can I verify a downloaded file?

Compare the SHA-256 checksum of your file with the value shown on the download page and in the published checksum list. If they match, your file is the official build.

What is a SHA-256 checksum?

A SHA-256 checksum is a file fingerprint. If the calculated value matches the value published by Cipher Client, the file contents match the official download.

Are downloads hosted by Cipher Client?

Yes. Cipher Client and the standalone mods are served directly from cipherclient.net.

How do I report a suspicious download or website?

Do not open the file. Report the link and relevant details to the staff team through the official Cipher Client Discord server.

05 / HELP

Installation & Troubleshooting

Direct routes to practical setup and repair guidance.

How do I install Cipher Client?

Install Fabric Loader for your Minecraft version, add Fabric API for the same version to the mods folder, add the matching Cipher Client JAR and start the Fabric profile. The installation guide covers every step and common errors.

Where is the Minecraft mods folder?

For the default game directory it is normally %appdata%\.minecraft\mods on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods on macOS, or ~/.minecraft/mods on Linux. Launcher-managed instances may use a different folder.

Why is my Fabric mod not loading?

Common causes are a wrong Minecraft or mod version, missing or outdated Fabric Loader, a missing dependency, incompatible Java, the wrong instance folder, duplicate files or a mod conflict. Read the complete Loader error or latest log before changing files.

What is the difference between Fabric Loader and Fabric API?

Fabric Loader starts Fabric mods and checks their dependencies. Fabric API is a separate shared library used by many, but not all, Fabric mods. Cipher Client needs both.

Where can I get installation help?

Start with the official Cipher installation and troubleshooting guides. For a Cipher-specific problem, bring exact version details and a privacy-checked log to the official Discord server.
