| Clients | Servers | Decompilers | Libraries | Utilities | Wrappers | |
This is a rather incomplete list of Minecraft clients that users have worked or are working on. This page only lists clients written from scratch; for mods and wrappers, see the Utility List and the Wrapper List.
The column Game Graphics asks if your client displays in-game activity at a graphical level, such as world chunks, people or mobs moving, or any of that sort. If you are simply displaying things as text, that does not count.
To add a client, append it above all others. On the bottom are projects, that are inactive (sorted by date). All active clients are sorted by version. If a client does not support the latest version, put it below the others.
