Terms of Use

Last updated 26 October 2026

Using Snowball Client

Snowball Client is free software provided under the MIT License. You may use it to install, manage and play Minecraft: Java Edition.

Snowball+

Snowball+ is an optional monthly subscription. Everything else in Snowball Client stays free.
Snowball+ is sold through Link, Stripe's checkout, which takes the payment and handles sales tax, receipts and refund requests. Snowball never sees your card details.
Snowball+ belongs to the Minecraft account named at checkout. It renews every month until it is cancelled at link.com, and lasts until the end of the month already paid for.
Staff check custom cape designs before other players see them, and can refuse a design.

Minecraft and your account

You need a legitimately purchased copy of Minecraft: Java Edition and a Microsoft account.
Your use of Minecraft remains subject to the Minecraft End User License Agreement and Microsoft's terms.
You are responsible for your account and for following the rules of any server you join. Some servers do not allow client mods.

Acceptable use

Do not use Snowball Client, or modified versions of it, to cheat, gain unfair advantages, bypass anti-cheat systems, harm other players or break any law.

Third-party content

The launcher downloads Minecraft, mod loaders and mods from their official sources. Those are owned by their respective creators and covered by their own licenses. Snowball Client does not modify third-party mods.

No warranty

Snowball Client is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. Back up your worlds; we are not liable for lost data, account issues or other damages arising from using the software, to the extent permitted by law.
