What Hydra does

Hydra is a client for Minecraft that runs on Windows, Linux and macOS and is distributed free of charge. The client is listed on the 2b2t wiki as supporting the latest Minecraft version at the time of writing. Its status is patched: an update broke it and it does not work with the current game.

Around the release, the client circulates as a torrent with steady seeders, a magnet link appears on file host pages, and the jar is repacked as a .zip or a .jar archive next to the Forge and Fabric loaders.
