Velo Client 1.2: 3x faster cosmetics, more versions, a smoother zoom

Velo Client 1.2 is about speed: your cosmetics, the mods we install for you and the settings that used to forget themselves. And it brings a few new toys for PvP and screenshots.

Cosmetics, 3x faster

Press F5 with wings and bodywear on and your FPS used to drop hard. Now cosmetics cost about a third of what they did: bodywear is drawn with far fewer points, vertices go straight into the GPU buffer, and wings only re-pose when you'd see a difference.

• Other players' cosmetics far away skip their glow, shine and bodywear - on busy servers that's a lot of FPS back.
• Pets got the same treatment and no longer search the ground every frame.

Five more performance mods, built in

The launcher now also installs BadOptimizations, Better Block Entities, Particle Core, Krypton and Fast IP Ping - tested next to Velo with no FPS cost, each helping where it counts (chests and signs, particles, the network, the server list).

More Minecraft versions

Velo now runs on 1.21.10 and 1.21.1, and 1.8.9 / 1.9.4 start on Ornithe with the fast 1.8.9 stack - with Velo cloaks, badges and Velo Network.

New

• Zoom: a smooth animation at any FPS, sliders for speed and smoothness, and lower sensitivity while zoomed - the camera stops the moment your mouse does. Scrolling changes only the current zoom.
• Item Position per item type: swords, axes, maces, blocks, food... each can sit somewhere else, and your empty hand moves too.
• Color Grading: saturation, vibrance, contrast, warmth, vignette and sharpen - with presets like Vivid, Cinematic and Crisp PvP.
• Hold Up Items: hold your item (or both arms) out in front, zombie-style.
• Particle Size, Centered Inventory (the recipe book no longer pushes your inventory aside) and centered crosshair presets at 15x15.
• Keystrokes with a wide space bar, a minimap arrow size and a sharper map, and an Armor HUD that shows just the durability.
• Low Fire also lowers the flames on other players and mobs.
• The Store asks before every purchase.

Fixed

• Performance Boost settings (Max FPS, view distance...) and the Graphics API no longer reset after a restart.
• RAM set in the launcher sticks, and Automatic gives strong PCs more memory.
• The Hitbox module's boxes sit exactly on players instead of trailing behind.
• Cloaks sit behind chestplates, and emotes move your armour too.
• The HUD editor no longer snaps, and the resize corner is easier to grab.
• Lightning no longer tints the world with Full Bright on.
