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.
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.
Microsoft sign-in
You log in with your own Microsoft account using device-code auth. Your credentials never touch River's servers. Everyone plays on their own account.
Modrinth content browser
Search and install mods, resource packs, and shaders directly from Modrinth. Gallery previews, full project detail pages, version picking, and one-click installs all built in.
PvP HUD modules
The overlays you actually want during a fight. All of them are 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
Multiple instances
Keep separate setups for different versions or servers. Each instance has its own mods, shaders, and resource packs.
Auto updates
River checks for updates every time it opens. If there's a new version it'll prompt you to update before you get in. You're always on the latest build.
Download River Client
One installer and you're set. No separate Java download, no manual Fabric setup. River handles all of that on first launch.
Live client status and updates
River uses the same update feed in the launcher and on the website, so players can quickly see what changed and what version is current.
Modrinth content browser
River can now browse and install mods, resource packs, and shaders from a single content screen.
- Modrinth search for mods, resource packs, and shaders
- Gallery previews with project icons and images
- Full project detail view with description, changelog, and versions
- One-click install with version picking
- Resource packs and shaders install to the correct folders automatically
- Update checks cover mods, resource packs, and shaders together

Your account is yours
River uses Microsoft login to get you into Minecraft. That's it. There's no server collecting your data and no backend account service.
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. If you have questions reach out to WyZ_EU directly.
Basic terms
River Client is provided as-is by WyZ_EU. You are responsible for following the rules of the servers you play on.
No cheating
River does not include cheats or automation. Do not use River with hacked mods, stolen accounts, token grabbers, or server-rule bypasses.
No affiliation
River Client is not affiliated with Mojang Studios, Microsoft, Minecraft, Fabric, Modrinth, or CurseForge.
Support limits
Support can help with River Client, the launcher, instances, and normal mod setup. It cannot help with cracked accounts or bypassing server rules.
