In short
The game, its libraries and assets, and the matching Java runtime come from Mojang's servers and are checked against Mojang's checksums. Each setup has its own folder.
HUD modules and a HUD editor, opened in game with Right Shift. You choose what shows and where. The docs list every module and what it does.
You sign in on Microsoft's page, never inside Xol. Your tokens stay on your computer and are never sent to Xol. How sign-in works.
Every release is signed. Xol checks the signature and the download before it installs anything. Updates download in the background and install when you close Xol.
Each server sets its own rules. Some forbid all modified clients, others forbid single features such as toggle sprint. Check the rules of the server you play on. Xol does not claim approval from any server.
Download
Xol is in closed development, and builds go to invited testers for now. A public download will appear here.

For Macs with an M1 chip or newer. macOS 12 or later. Minecraft 1.7.10 and 1.8.9 run on native Apple Silicon Java, with Rosetta 2 as the fallback.
Xol-0.3.20-macos-arm64.dmg246587b67c41caab…macOS 12 or later, x64. On a Mac with an Apple chip (M1 or newer), pick Apple Silicon: this build runs there only through Rosetta, at about half the speed.

Xol-0.3.20-windows-x64-setup.exeb1ce232832163329…These builds are not signed with an Apple or Microsoft certificate yet, so macOS and Windows show a warning the first time you open Xol. The docs show the one-time step for each system.
Official downloads only come from xol.dev. Copies of Xol offered anywhere else may be unsafe.
