Nova Client is a fast, modern Minecraft launcher with one-click mods, free server hosting, 3D skin previews and Discord Rich Presence. Built by frogg — free forever.
Stop juggling five tools. Nova does mods, servers, skins and more — beautifully.
Browse and install Fabric & Forge mods straight from Modrinth inside the launcher. Corrupt downloads are detected and healed automatically.
Spin up your own Minecraft server from the Host tab in seconds — Java and Bedrock supported. RAM is picked automatically based on your PC.
Sensible performance flags applied automatically, with optional aggressive mode. More frames without touching a single config file.
Upload your skin and see it rotating live in 3D before you launch. Drag, zoom, admire.
Turn any image into Minecraft paintings or a custom Totem of Undying texture. One click builds and enables the resource pack for you.
Show "Playing Minecraft — Nova Client" on your profile automatically, with what you're playing or hosting — plus a Join our Discord button.
