# FAQ

## What versions does Akira Memory support?

Akira Memory supports Minecraft versions 1.7.10 through 1.12.2, and we're actively adding more.

Not every function behaves identically across versions, so a feature may work on 1.8.9 but not on 1.12.2. We aim to make everything compatible across all supported versions.

## Which clients and launchers are supported?

Akira Memory is compatible with a wide range of launchers, including but not limited to:

* Forge
* Vanilla
* Lunar
* Feather
* Salwyrr
* LabyMod
* Cosmic
* Orbit
* Sklauncher
* BatMod
* CMClient

Not every feature is available on every launcher.

## Which operating systems are supported?

Akira Memory is built for:

* Windows 10
* Windows 11

It isn't developed for custom Windows builds (Atlas, ReviOS, Ghost Spectre, etc.), so we can't guarantee compatibility there. It's also not compatible with macOS or Linux. For the best experience, we recommend Windows 11.

## Does Akira Memory increase my lag?

Akira itself doesn't add lag, but some CPU-intensive features raise your overall CPU usage, which can cause minor lag. Used within reasonable limits, the impact should be minimal — Akira is built to run as efficiently as possible. If you still hit lag spikes, let our support team know and we'll resolve it.

## Is Akira Memory detectable?

As with any cheating software, there's always some risk of detection by a server's anti-cheat. Akira uses advanced techniques to minimize that risk. There's never a 100% guarantee, but Akira is built to keep your experience as safe and secure as possible.

## Is Akira Memory a virus or malware?

No. Akira is safe to use and poses no threat to your device. Because of how it interacts with other programs, some antivirus software may flag it as a threat — a false positive that can happen with any software using techniques commonly associated with malware.

We take false positives seriously and work with antivirus companies to keep Akira recognized as safe and legitimate. If you have concerns, reach out through our support channels.

## Memory client vs. JNI client — what's the difference?

Two main categories of Minecraft cheating software stand out: memory clients and JNI (Java Native Interface) clients. They take different approaches with different trade-offs.

**JNI clients**

* **Injection into the game.** JNI clients inject a DLL into the game's process, becoming part of the game's code and gaining significant control.
* **Access to internal features.** Injecting code directly lets them tap into internal game features and retrieve comprehensive data.
* **Greater capabilities.** Deep integration lets them leverage game functions and perform actions memory clients find difficult or impossible.
* **Open-ended.** Their range of capabilities is broad and adaptable to many scenarios.

**Memory clients**

* **Non-intrusive hooking.** Memory clients hook into the game's memory without injecting code. They monitor and analyze memory for patterns and data rather than becoming part of the game.
* **Limited memory access.** Because of how the JVM works in Minecraft, the absence of direct pointers makes some data hard to extract.
* **Pattern recognition.** They rely on recognizing patterns in memory, which is time-consuming and needs continuous adaptation across versions.
* **Broad compatibility.** They work with a wide range of custom launchers and Minecraft versions.
* **More limited capabilities.** They're constrained by the patterns and data they can identify in memory.

In short: JNI clients integrate deeply and can access internal game data comprehensively, while memory clients use non-intrusive monitoring and trade some capability for broad compatibility. Choose based on your own needs and preferences.
