LiteLoader

LiteLoader is a client-side modification for the game Minecraft. It allows users to install and run various mods that alter the game's appearance and functionality without requiring server-side modifications. Developed by a community of programmers, LiteLoader aims to provide a lightweight and efficient modding platform.

Unlike some other Minecraft modding solutions, LiteLoader is designed to be less intrusive. It focuses on injecting code into the game client at runtime, meaning it doesn't modify core game files directly. This can simplify the installation and removal of mods and potentially reduce compatibility issues between different mods or with game updates.

The LiteLoader API provides a framework for mod developers to create new features, such as visual enhancements, utility tools, or gameplay tweaks. Many mods available for LiteLoader are focused on improving the player experience through features like minimaps, performance optimizations, or advanced control options.

Installation typically involves downloading the LiteLoader installer, which then patches the Minecraft client. Once installed, players can place compatible mod `.litemod` files into a designated mods folder within their Minecraft directory. LiteLoader is known for its straightforward setup process and its emphasis on providing a stable platform for a wide range of client-side modifications. It is often used in conjunction with other mod loaders, depending on the specific mods a player wishes to use.
