How to Add Sharers to Lunar Client: A Complete Guide
Lunar Client is one of the most popular third-party Minecraft launchers, known for its performance boosts, built-in cosmetics, and social features. One of those social features is the ability to add sharers — essentially trusted users who can access or contribute to your cosmetic setup. If you're trying to figure out how sharers work and how to add them, here's everything you need to know.
What Are Sharers in Lunar Client?
In Lunar Client, a sharer is a player you grant access to share your cosmetics or cosmetic configurations. This is particularly relevant if you own cosmetic items through Lunar Client's emote and cosmetics system and want another account — or a friend — to benefit from those items under your authorization.
Think of it like a cosmetic lending system. Rather than every player purchasing the same items separately, the sharer system allows the cosmetic owner to extend access to one or more linked accounts or trusted users.
This feature is most commonly used by:
- Players who run multiple Minecraft accounts and want consistent cosmetics across all of them
- Content creators who manage a shared setup across team members
- Parents managing accounts for family members on the same Lunar Client setup
How to Add a Sharer in Lunar Client 🎮
The process for adding a sharer takes place through the Lunar Client website, not inside the game client itself. Here's the general process:
Step 1: Log Into Your Lunar Client Account
Go to lunar.gg and sign in using the account that owns the cosmetics. This must be the primary account — the one holding the cosmetic licenses you want to share.
Step 2: Navigate to Your Profile Settings
Once logged in, look for your profile or account dashboard. From here, you should find a section related to cosmetics management or account settings, depending on the current version of the site layout.
Step 3: Find the Sharers Section
Within your account settings or cosmetics panel, look for a dedicated "Sharers" tab or option. This is where you can view existing sharers and add new ones.
Step 4: Add the New Sharer by Username
Enter the Minecraft username or Lunar Client-linked username of the person or account you want to add as a sharer. Confirm the addition, and the sharer should receive access shortly after.
Note: The exact layout of these options can shift with site updates. If a specific tab has moved, checking Lunar Client's official Discord or support documentation will give you the most current navigation path.
Key Variables That Affect the Sharer Process
Adding a sharer isn't always a one-size-fits-all experience. Several factors influence how it works in practice:
| Variable | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Account type | Free vs. paid Lunar Client accounts may have different sharer limits |
| Cosmetic ownership | Only items you own can be shared — borrowed or gifted items may have restrictions |
| Username linking | The sharer's account must be properly linked to a valid Minecraft account |
| Sharer limits | Lunar Client may cap how many sharers one account can have active at once |
| Account standing | Accounts flagged or restricted may have limited sharer functionality |
Understanding which of these applies to your specific situation will determine whether the process is straightforward or requires additional steps.
Common Issues When Adding Sharers
Username not found: This usually means the account hasn't been registered or linked properly on Lunar Client. The person being added needs an active Lunar Client account associated with their Minecraft username.
Sharer limit reached: Lunar Client places limits on how many sharers a single account can have. If you've hit that cap, you'll need to remove an existing sharer before adding a new one.
Cosmetics not appearing for the sharer: After being added, sharers typically need to re-launch Lunar Client or refresh their cosmetics settings for the changes to take effect. In some cases, equipping the shared cosmetics must be done manually through the in-game cosmetics menu.
Site access issues: Because the sharer system lives on the web dashboard rather than inside the client, browser cache issues or login session problems can sometimes block the process. Clearing your browser cache or logging out and back in often resolves this.
How Sharers Differ from Other Account Features 🔗
It's worth distinguishing sharers from a few related concepts in Lunar Client:
- Linked accounts — These connect multiple Minecraft accounts to one Lunar Client profile, which is a different function from sharing cosmetics with someone else entirely
- Gifting cosmetics — Gifting permanently transfers ownership, while sharing keeps ownership with the original account
- Emote sharing — Some specific cosmetic categories (like emotes) may have their own sharing rules separate from the general sharer system
Understanding these distinctions matters because attempting to use the wrong feature for your goal — say, trying to gift when you meant to share — will produce a completely different outcome.
Factors That Vary by Setup
How smoothly the sharer feature works depends on a few things specific to each user's situation:
- Whether both accounts are on the same version of Lunar Client
- The region or server environment where cosmetics are being tested
- Whether the primary account has active cosmetic subscriptions versus one-time purchases
- The technical familiarity of the sharer with Lunar Client's cosmetics interface
A player using Lunar Client casually on one account has a very different setup than someone managing cosmetics across multiple accounts for a content team. The underlying steps are the same, but the complexity of managing sharers scales with how involved your particular use case is.
