Frequently Asked Questions About Client Mods
Are performance mods like Sodium, Iris, and Lithium allowed on FordMC?
Yes, all client-side optimization mods such as Sodium, Iris (shaders), Lithium, Indium, FerriteCore, and Entity Culling are 100% approved on the FordMC network.
Can I use Lunar Client, Badlion, or Feather on FordMC?
Yes, popular custom launchers like Lunar Client, Badlion Client, and Feather Client are permitted as long as blacklisted modules like Freelook (360 perspective) and X-ray are disabled.
Why are auto clickers, crystal cores, and inventory walk disallowed?
FordMC maintains strict fair-play standards across Lifesteal SMP and Practice PvP. Any modification that automates combat clicks, crystal placement packets, or allows movement while in inventory screens gives an unfair advantage and will result in a ban.
