If a hacked client asks you to "disable your antivirus" or "allow pop-ups," close the tab immediately.

Let’s be blunt:

: Distributing modified versions of game clients technically violates the Minecraft EULA , though Eaglercraft exists in a gray area as a community-made port.

Because the client runs in your browser, a hacked client can spawn hidden web workers that mine Monero (XMR) using your CPU. You will notice your fan roaring and your laptop slowing to a crawl, but you won't know why. The hacker profits while you lag.

To understand the risk, you must understand the mechanics. When you open a standard Eaglercraft client, you are running a WebAssembly-compiled version of Java code translated to JavaScript.
