    Kilo is a newer client and while it looks really cool and has some interesting features, I recommend you avoid using it.

    For starters, a brief history of the developers.

    Some developers of the client were also developers of Matix, a client that also seemed to focus on moreso visuals than anything - I'm sure you can spot some similarities. Fun fact - early releases of Matix had a RAT. What is a RAT? Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_administration_software

    Anyways, the Matix crew are at it again with Kilo, advertised as a "beautiful Minecraft experience". Not gonna lie, they do have some really cool features, but there are also some significant issues here.

    First off, virus scans:
    Installer: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...144c1295a7f3c7c62074d511/analysis/1431862129/
    Client itself: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...d372c4eb2fbcdffc586592e0489fb828c8b/analysis/

    Their reasoning? Vague as can be. They claim it is because of their 'APIs' and how they download assets from their site (textures, etc.) and how the launcher executes a jar. Doesn't vanilla Minecraft do these exact same things?

    Downloading assets: Minecraft does this when downloading skins, yet there's no virus shown on a virus scan.
    Launching a jar: Minecraft's launcher does this, yet there's no virus shown on a virus scan.

    The developers are incredibly shady and I'm sure this client will be popular soon because of all of the cool features - but I really want people to avoid this because of their history. Everything here just seems really suspicious, yaknow?

    So yeah, since this server is big on clients, I thought I'd fill y'all in.

    also this client allows you to order pizza, that'd be funny if they log addresses too.

    Why don't people just code clients themselves? It's a lot safer, and a lot less annoying going from website to website to download one.

    I understand where you are going with this. The thing I don't quite understand is how WiZARD himself didn't catch this. Why would he advertise a client that would affect the players?

    He doesn't care. He only cares about views, and such.

    Learning to code is like learning a new language in life. You cannot simply learn a new language in "a couple of hours".

    I think he meant a very basic client perhaps with x-ray. Usually once they learn how to get one mod they get motivated to keep learning and progress...

    Im sorry but at the current time we have not yet received your request.. And our response is no. We are not going to remove the client due to 'jealousy'. Please move on.. And enjoy the minecraft KiLO experience!
