Apricot Client

Apricot is a client based on the Hurricane client. The main reason it exists is Cookbook integration, which Hurricane doesn't have, but the goal is bigger than that: faster patches, more player suggestions actually making it into the client, and general convenience. Mapping service integration is planned next. If you have suggestions, post here or in the Discord and I'll see what I can do.

Fair warning on the long term plan: the current client is a heavily modified fork, and I intend to rewrite it with a cleaner design down the road. Apricot as it stands is the fix until that rewrite is ready. It's fully usable and maintained in the meantime, and the rewrite will be a drop in replacement when it comes.

Features
  • Integration with the public Cookbook: https://cookbook.kittenrider.com/
  • Everything Hurricane has, kept up to date with it
  • Faster patches, and suggestions are welcome
  • Crashes get reported straight to me automatically (stack trace and system info), so bugs get fixed without anyone having to file them
  • Launcher that installs the client and updates it automatically
  • Java 25 included, nothing else to install
  • Coming from Hurricane? Your keybinds and settings carry over automatically

Download
Put the launcher in its own folder and run it. It downloads the client, keeps it updated, and launches it:
https://github.com/ntforg/Apricot/releases/latest/download/ApricotLauncher.bat

Manual downloads and Linux packages are on the releases page:

I do not enjoy the telemetry in the client, I hope one day Asterisk will come and remake this client without it.

The plan for that one is kinda simple already. Basically it would most likely be like a button that allows you to upload or download a public tile map set. Private maps or public mapping end points can pull from it or use it for free. No player locations, ect. Just for everyone to help fill in tiles for each other and completely optional.

here's a suggestion: Raw Hide has a 35 tile range. Could you add a setting where you get a 35 tile radius around white/red players to know if they can raw hide you? Bonus points if it only appears when riding a horse but otherwise can just be a toggle.

I've always thought a filter for "people with high stats eat this a lot" would probably be more useful than filtering by stat tbh
