A brand new feature is available for testing in the Test Client: Minecraft Snapshot management! The Curse Client can help make Snapshot management a breeze -- Simply click "Get It" beside the Snapshot you'd like to test, and the Client will download that specific version to a separate folder from your release install, allowing for you to test without fear of save corruption! You can switch between any released snapshot at any time, and can additionally copy your Worlds over from your release version of Minecraft for even more specialized testing! In addition, the "My Textures" and "Get More Textures" tabs are available on this install, making texture pack testing a breeze. This beta version of the Snapshot feature can be tested on the test version of the Curse Client, which can be found here. Please note that once testing is done, it is advised to resume using the release version of the Client.

With both Minecon and the brand new Minecraft features live in the Curse Client this weekend, Curse is offering a free Premium weekend to all of our users for the Curse Client!

Wanted to try out saved world sync, addon sync, one-click updating, or just wanted to see what the ad-free experience would look like? You'll have a chance to explore these and more for free until Monday, November 26th, at 9AM CST. Any worlds you sync during this time will be kept in our storage for a month, giving users plenty of time to consider purchasing a Premium subscription to continue taking advantage of its benefits!

Don't forget that plugin developers who uploads their plugin to our BukkitDev or CurseForge services and receive 1,000 or more downloads get a free Curse Premium subscription as thanks for your contribution to our community!

A quick overview of the brand new Minecraft features are as follows:

• World Saving: Each and every world you've made in Minecraft can be backed up through the Curse Client, with the ability to manage your backups through an easy to use interface. A "More Info" tab provides you with quick access to your health, level, the number of items in your inventory and gives you the ability to copy your world's seed for easy sharing at the click of a button.
• Quick Saving: Every world that is backed up is then quick saved every few minutes by the Curse Client, with the ability to force a quick save by hitting the Escape key and bringing up the Minecraft pause menu. Built an awesome house only to have a creeper pop up out of nowhere and blow it up? Now you can easily click to restore your your world to before that happened!
• World Syncing: Curse Premium members will have the additional ability of being able to easily and quickly upload their world saves to the cloud, which makes it available for download on any PC you want to play your world on!

An exciting, brand new feature is now available for testing within the beta version of the Curse Client!

With this new test update, Saved Worlds are now available for Minecraft! With this, you can easily back up and restore any worlds on your PC at the click of a button, see game and seed information, and create incremental quicksaves.

More details on each of these features are listed below:

• Saved Worlds: Each individual world on your computer can be locally backed up for safe keeping! In addition to showing when a world was last backed up, the "More Info" tab will show you your health, level, and the number of items in your inventory, as well as give you the ability to share your world's seed with a simple click to copy option. Any saves listed on this screen can be restored.


• Quicksave: In regular intervals, the Client will create a quicksave of any given world -- These can also be created upon hitting the escape key. If you manage to fall into some lava, have a creeper destroy all your hard work, or just want to go on an NPC rampage without there being consequences, the Quick Saves will have you covered. Just click to restore the world back to its previous state!


• Saved World Sync: Any Curse Premium member will additionally have the ability to sync any world to the cloud, allowing you to download your world to any PC without the hassle! Please remember that any user who uploads their creations to Curse via either Bukkit Dev (for Minecraft) or CurseForge (for any other game) and receives 1,000 or more downloads will be granted a free Curse Premium subscription in appreciation for your contribution to our community.

If you would like to participate in testing, the test version of the Client can be downloaded here. Any and all bug reports or feedback should be given to [email protected]. Please remember that this is a test version of the Client that contains upcoming features that are still in development -- For a more stable Curse Client, please uninstall this vresion and download the latest version from Curse.com.

Note: these changes only affect the PC client. For updates on the Mac Client, go to our dedicated Mac Client CurseForge page.

The Curse Client now has two brand new features -- The Secret World and World of Tanks are now supported, and they come with an easy to use packager for our authors!

We at Curse are always looking for ways to make modding games as simple as possible, and are always eager to support new games. Now, both World of Tanks and The Secret World give users the capability of one-click installations of mods, skins, and addons!

The Client will also manage backups and revisions of your old files to be safe to help ensure that your game will never need to be reinstalled.

In an effort to make placing these highly customizable mods into our Client, we've also created an in-Client packager to help our authors out! With either World of Tanks or The Secret World selected, click Tools -> Create a Package, and follow the given prompts. This wizard will walk you through making an appropriate, Client ready zip to be uploaded to CurseForge.

Thank you to all of our authors who assisted us in testing the Client, as your participation allowed us to release these brand new features quickly!

Curse is excited to announce the release of the lastest version of our Client, v5!  This release not only overhauls the UI, but also adds in some great new features! New features in version 5 include:

• Minecraft texture pack support
• Minecraft not showing up in your games list?  If you have it installed, just go to Tools -> Scan for all installed games.  Your Minecraft install should then be automatically located!
• For more information on Minecraft texture packs, see the Minecraft wiki article.
• Completely brand new, overhauled UI
• Each game has it's own section for downloads and currently-installed content.  Simply click the tabs to switch between what is currently installed, and what is available for download.
• All downloads for any game will show up in the Downloads section on the left panel.
• Ability to reorder games via drag and drop
• Curse resource links available on each game's tab
• New "play" button -- launching games now even more hassle-free

Curse has an exciting announcement to make -- Minecraft texture packs that do not require any sort of patching (such as MCPatcher) are now ready for testing in the test version of the Curse Client!  Please note that this is a beta version of our Client that is completely separate from our live, standard Client.

For users, this now means you can test easily installing Minecraft texture packs via one click installs, and no more shady or confusing links!  Any and all texture packs that have been uploaded to Bukkit that do not require patching will be automatically available for testing!  All one has to do to test out these awesome new features is download our test version of the Client!  The more testers we receive, the more bugs and issues we can iron out in the process, meaning a better experience in the end product.

Even better for texture pack makers, you can not only reach a wider audience, but you can now give your users a trusted link!  On top of that, any project that has over 1,000 downloads will net you free Curse Premium, which will give you an ad-free experience on all of our sites and much, much more on MinecraftForum.  Just remember that currently in order for your texture pack to be supported by the test Client, it must be a 16x pack that does not need a patcher, such as MCPatcher.

Uploading to Bukkit is easy!  If you require any assistance, you can refer to this handy tutorial on both how to package and upload your creations to Bukkit.  If you're interested in creating texture packs but don't know where to start, check out this rather all-inclusive FAQ!

Go grab our test Client now to check out how easy installing texture packs can be!  Any and all feedback and bugs should be reported to [email protected].

Please be advised that some rules do follow:

• include PICTURES: You MUST include pictures of your texture pack or else it will be rejected. Multiple pictures are better.
• be DETAILED: Include a feature list and a description of the texture pack
• be COMPLETE: Not just a single sentence or two of description, make the description detailed and complete.
• be ON-SITE: You cannot simply link to another site which is hosting your texture pack as a description, you must provide information directly on the BukkitDev page without using 3rd party sites. However, if you wish to link your users to other resources that supplement the adequate description you already have, you are free to do so.

Also remember that when uploading files, you must include a version number in the file's title, such as:


Examples of good texture pack submissions:

http://dev.bukkit.org/client-mods/rogues-textures-early-alpha/
http://dev.bukkit.org/client-mods/ocd-texture-pack-1-2-5/

Please follow the above rules -- helping out the moderators means your files and projects get approved faster!
