Asteroid

Asteroid

The utility client for Modrinth. Press Right Shift to open the menu in-game.

About

Asteroid is a fork / distribution of the Meteor Client, a fabric based utility client mod. It has had most of Meteor's anarchy modules removed, in order to focus entirely on the utilities. The few modules remaining that could be considered cheats can only be used when the player is OP, or in singleplayer.

I have made this fork as I believe that the user experience of utility clients is rather nice, with their modular approach to UI and configuration. I have found that I often install Meteor client purely to use it's less anarchy-style features, in my own worlds, and I wished I could add the mod to my modpack here on Modrinth. It only made sense to fork it just to focus on those few features, and remove the combat / movement modules that are more anarchy focused, and less in-tune with Modrinth's style of mods.

Features

Modules

The following is a list of the modules included in the mod. Most of these share functionality with other mods on the site, so I felt they were fine to leave in.

Modules marked with an asterisk (*) require OP or Singleplayer to use.

Player

• Auto Clicker: Automatic clicking on a timer. Useful for mob grinding.
• Auto Replenish: Replaces a tool / food on the hotbar from the inventory when depleted. Nice QoL.
• Auto Respawn: Automatically presses the respawn button on death.
• Auto Tool: Automatically switches to the correct tool when going to mine a block.
• Better Farming: Quality of life improvements to manual crop farming.
• Fake Player: Spawns a completely client side fake player. Provides no actual use cases apart from looking cool, or maybe getting a good screenshot.
• Middle Click Extra: Bind middle click to use a firework rocket, experience bottle, or to add a friend.
• Name Protect: Hides your username and skin. Useful for taking screenshots without leaking your account.
• No Interact: Allows the player to blacklist certain blocks from accidentally being interacted with / broken. Useful for amethyst mining.
• No Mining Trace: Allows the player to break blocks even when an entity is blocking them.
• Portals: Allows players to access their inventory whilst sitting in a nether portal. Not sure why that isn't default tbh.
• Rotation: Allows the player to lock their yaw and/or pitch.

Render

• Better Tab: Customisable improvements to the tab menu.
• Better Tooltips: Shulker box previews, enderchest previews etc.
• Block ESP*: Renders outlines around blocks in the whitelist. Helpful for locating a particular block type.

• No Render: Prevent things from rendering, like nether fog, particles or even certain entities.
• Tracers*: Render lines from the crosshair to the targeted entities. Useful for finding lost items.
• Trail: Renders a trail of particles behind the player. Useless but fun.
• Unfocused CPU: Limits FPS when Minecraft isn't focused.

• Weather Changer: Changes the current weather client side.
• Xray*: Disables rendering for certain blocks. Useful for finding a particular block.

Misc

• Ambience: Customize stuff like how the sky renders. Allows for cursed things like End sky in the Overworld. Purely cosmetic.
• Annoyances: Disable various annoying warning screens and weird UI.
• Auto Reconnect: Automatically reconnects a user if they somehow lost connection to a server. Useful for AFK sessions on servers that restart at a set time.
• Auto Sign: Automatically writes signs, using the text of the first placed sign. Useful for mob farms, where many signs have to be placed.

• Discord Presence: Customizable Discord Rich Presence for fun.
• Inventory Tweaks: Inventory improvements like auto transfer, chest sorting, and shift + drag to move items.
