Moonsworth

Moonsworth is a software studio focused on user-generated-content (UGC) gaming, describing itself as "#1 Gaming UGC Studio" and specializing in high-performance gaming software that supports the whole ecosystem, from everyday players to major creative and commercial partners. The company is best known as the developer of Lunar Client, a widely used third-party client for Minecraft: Java Edition, and it operates a portfolio of related products spanning launchers, clients, resource-pack discovery, skins, competitive PvP servers, and Minecraft Bedrock Marketplace content. According to its own account, Moonsworth was founded in January 2019 with the goal of building high-quality experiences and growing a passionate community. Its first public project, launched in February 2019, was Lunar Network, a competitive player-vs-player Minecraft server. The studio's breakout product, Lunar Client, began as an attempt to build a faster, simpler Minecraft client at a time when existing options were, in the company's words, slow, cluttered, or overloaded with unwanted features. Lunar Client grew faster than expected into one of the most widely used Minecraft clients in the world, pushing Moonsworth to scale its team and infrastructure. Today Moonsworth is a fully remote company with developers, designers, and community leads distributed globally. Its portfolio includes Lunar Client (the flagship Minecraft: Java Edition client), Badlion (a legendary Minecraft client now part of the Lunar Client family), a Minecraft resource-pack hub, a Minecraft skin service, the Lunar Network competitive PvP server powered by Lunar Client, and content published as an official Microsoft partner on the Minecraft: Bedrock Marketplace. The company also collaborates with globally recognized brands across gaming, entertainment, and culture on partnerships and activations. Moonsworth positions itself around player creativity and customization — putting players "back in control" and giving them freedom to shape how they play, whether by modding, fine-tuning their experience, or building entirely new worlds. It is a private company and does not disclose detailed financial or ownership information publicly.

Moonsworth was founded in January 2019 with the stated goal of building high-quality experiences and growing a passionate community. The studio's founding premise, as described on its own about page, was to build the tools its founders wished existed: at the time, the Minecraft ecosystem's clients were, in their view, slow, cluttered, or overloaded with features nobody asked for. Moonsworth set out to build something different — faster, simpler, and designed around how players actually play. In February 2019, only a month after founding, Moonsworth launched its first public project: Lunar Network, a competitive player-vs-player Minecraft server intended to provide high-quality competitive play. This server became the foundation on which the studio's later client product was built and marketed, and it remains part of the portfolio today as "the #1 Competitive Minecraft PvP Network, powered by Lunar Client." The studio's breakout product was Lunar Client, a third-party client for Minecraft: Java Edition. Lunar Client took off faster than the company expected. What began as a focused project quickly grew into one of the most widely used Minecraft clients in the world. As more players discovered it, the community grew rapidly, pushing Moonsworth to scale its team, invest in better infrastructure, and commit to building products that last. Over time Moonsworth expanded from a single client into a portfolio spanning multiple products across the gaming space. The company describes its portfolio as including the "#1 third-party launcher in Minecraft: Java Edition" (Lunar Client), Badlion — described as "the legendary Minecraft client, now part of the Lunar Client family" — a hub for discovering, downloading, and sharing Minecraft resource packs, a Minecraft skin service, the Lunar Network competitive PvP server, and content published as an official Microsoft partner on the Minecraft: Bedrock Marketplace. The company states that more products are in the works. Moonsworth today is a fully remote company with developers, designers, and community leads across the globe. Being remote, in the company's account, lets it hire the best people wherever they are and stay close to the players it serves. It specializes in high-performance gaming software supporting every part of the ecosystem, from everyday players to major creative and commercial partners, and it collaborates with globally recognized brands across gaming, entertainment, and culture on partnerships and activations. The company positions its entire product line around player creativity and customization — giving players the freedom to shape how they play, whether by modding, fine-tuning their experience, or building entirely new worlds.
