Features

Built for PvP players, by a PvP player

No filler features. Just the stuff that actually matters when you're in a fight or setting up for a session.

01

Clean Fabric setup

River handles the full Fabric install for you. Pick your version, hit launch, and you're in. No manual setup, no dealing with the vanilla launcher.

02

Microsoft sign-in

You log in with your own Microsoft account using device-code auth. Your credentials never touch River's servers.

03

Modrinth content browser

Search and install mods, resource packs, and shaders directly from Modrinth. Gallery previews, version picking, and one-click installs built in.

04

PvP HUD modules

The overlays you actually want during a fight. All visual only with no gameplay automation, so you can use them on any server without getting flagged.

  • FPS and ping counter
  • CPS counter and keystrokes display
  • Armor and potion status HUD
  • Coordinates and direction
  • Zoom and reach display (vanilla reach, not modified)
05

Multiple instances

Keep separate setups for different versions or servers. Each instance has its own mods, shaders, resource packs, and settings.

06

Auto updates

River checks for updates every time it opens. If there's a new version it will prompt you before you get in. Always on the latest build.

Trust and Safety

No cheats. No data collection. No surprises.

River is built for competitive play, not to cheat at it. No combat hacks, no movement exploits, nothing that gives you an unfair advantage.

Not in River

  • Aim assist or aimbot
  • Autoclicker or auto-attack
  • Reach modification
  • Xray or cave finder
  • Velocity, timer, or packet exploits
  • Token harvesting or account sharing

What you do get

  • HUD overlays only (FPS, ping, coordinates)
  • Scroll zoom with no additional advantage
  • CPS counter and keystrokes display
  • Armor and potion status display
  • Reach display showing vanilla reach, not modifying it

Tokens stay local

Your Microsoft and Minecraft tokens are stored on your PC only. River never sends them anywhere outside of the official Microsoft and Mojang auth endpoints.

No password needed

Sign-in goes through Microsoft's own device-code flow. River never sees your password at any point in the process.

No telemetry

No analytics, no usage data, no account sync. What you do in the launcher stays on your machine.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The most common questions about River Client.

Is River Client safe to use? Will I get banned?

River Client does not contain cheats, exploits, or automation of any kind. The HUD modules are visual only and do not modify gameplay. Most servers allow clients like River. Always check the rules of the specific server you are playing on. WyZ_EU cannot guarantee you will not be banned on any particular server, as server rules vary.

Does River work on servers with anticheat?

River Client runs on Fabric with no gameplay-modifying code. It functions the same as a clean Fabric install with approved mods. It is generally compatible with popular anticheats. If a server bans all clients other than vanilla, River would fall under that restriction too.

Do I need a Minecraft account to use River?

Yes. River Client uses Microsoft sign-in to authenticate with Minecraft. You need a legitimate Minecraft Java Edition account. Cracked accounts are not supported and using River to circumvent account requirements is a violation of the terms of use.

Is River Client free? Are there any paid features?

River Client is completely free. There are no paid tiers, no premium features, no subscriptions. Everything in the launcher and the in-game client is available to everyone at no cost.

What Minecraft versions does River support?

River supports recent Minecraft Java Edition versions through Fabric. The launcher lets you create instances for different versions. Not every version has a River core mod build, so HUD modules may not be available on very old versions.

Can I install mods with River?

Yes. River has a built-in Modrinth browser for mods, resource packs, and shaders. You can also place mod files manually in the instance folder. Since River runs Fabric, any Fabric-compatible mod should work.

How do I get support if something is not working?

Open a ticket in the Discord server. Include your launcher version, Minecraft version, instance name, list of installed mods, and the crash log or launcher log. For account or private questions, email support@riverclient.xyz.

Can I use River on Mac or Linux?

River Client currently supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 (x64) only. Mac and Linux builds are not available at this time.
