Step 2 of #8. versions/1.21.10/src is gone; 1.21.10 builds from src/ as :1.21.10, with versions/1.21.10 keeping only gradle.properties and run/. API differences go behind version comments: render layers (ShaderUtils), Camera.update's World vs BlockView (CameraMixin), the text and textured-quad render states (RenderScopeImpl), Screen.init (SplashOverlayMixin) and jspecify's @NonNull (SaturnRenderState). Features 1.21.11 leaves out stay on 1.21.10, with a TODO for 1.21.11: WorldFeatureImpl.getWorldAge, SaturnScreenFabric.resize and EntityDrawerImpl clearing the hitbox. Hats now render on 1.21.10: its HatFeatureRenderer overrode the render-queue method with an empty body, and the working code sat in an old VertexConsumerProvider method nothing called. 1.21.10 now uses 1.21.11's render-queue implementation (HatFeatureRenderer, ObjModel, ObjRenderer), and also gets 1.21.11's null check on the player's display name. The 1.21.10 jar has the same entries, fabric.mod.json and mixin configs as before; only those four classes and ShaderUtils (a helper method for entityAlpha) have different bytecode. The 1.21.11 jar only differs in ShaderUtils. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

About
Saturn Client is a free, open-source Minecraft client designed to enhance the gameplay experience while staying lightweight and customizable. Our goal is to build a clean, optimized client that the community can contribute to and improve together.

Installation
- Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API for your Minecraft version.
- Download the Saturn Client jar for the same version from Modrinth or the releases page.
- Put it in your
modsfolder.
Network use
For cosmetics, Saturn Client connects to the Saturn server (saturn-server.selimaj.dev). You're signed in the same way as on an online-mode Minecraft server: your client proves who you are to Mojang's session server, and the Saturn server asks Mojang to confirm it. Your Minecraft access token is only ever sent to Mojang, never to the Saturn server.
Building from source
The version-independent code lives in the common submodule, so clone with submodules:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.selimaj.dev/saturnclientmc/saturnclient.git
cd saturnclient
./gradlew buildAll # every version → build/allJars/
./gradlew :1.21.11:build # a single version (versions not on Stonecutter yet: :mc-1.21.9)
./gradlew :1.21.11:runClient # launch a development client
Building needs Java 21.
Contributing
We welcome contributions of all kinds:
- Code improvements
- Bug fixes
- UI enhancements
- Cosmetic designs
- Suggestions and feedback
If you're an artist or designer interested in helping with cosmetics or visual assets, we'd love to collaborate.
Most features belong in common, which every Minecraft version shares. For code that differs between versions, see the version guide: it covers how the versions are laid out, porting a change to all of them with scripts/port.sh, and adding a new Minecraft version. Every pull request is compiled for all versions automatically.
