Do I need to own Minecraft?

How do I install and launch Karvo?
Download the launcher for your operating system from the Downloads page, install it and open Karvo LaunchPad. Sign in with Microsoft, choose a supported Minecraft version and select Play. The launcher prepares the required game and client files.
Where do I equip cosmetics and emotes?
Open Karvo’s in-game cosmetic locker. It shows the items your Minecraft account owns or currently has access to through Karvo+. Choose your cosmetics there, and assign the emotes you want to your wheel slots.
Can I choose which emotes appear on my wheel?
Yes. Owning an emote does not require you to put it on the wheel. Equip only the emotes you want in your wheel slots, then use the emote keybind to choose one.
Can I equip two pets?
Yes. Karvo supports two equipped pets at once. Select owned pets in the in-game locker and assign them to the two pet slots.
Can other players see my cosmetics and emotes?
Other Karvo client users can see supported equipped Karvo cosmetics and synchronised emotes. Ordinary Minecraft clients do not render these custom Karvo visuals.
What happens when Karvo+ ends?
Monthly cosmetic access and membership benefits end with the subscription. Cosmetics purchased permanently remain owned by the Minecraft account they were delivered to. Each membership belongs to one Minecraft account.
My cosmetics or emotes are missing. What should I check?
Check that the launcher and in-game locker are using the Minecraft account that owns the items. Refresh the locker, update the client and follow the account verification prompt if your session has expired. If the service is unavailable, try again when the connection recovers.
Does Karvo guarantee higher FPS?
No fixed FPS increase is guaranteed. Performance depends on your computer, Minecraft version, graphics settings, installed mods and the scene being rendered. Use the graphics controls and benchmark tools to compare your own settings.
How do I report a problem?
Include your Minecraft version, Karvo client version and the steps that reproduce the issue. The launcher’s Game Console and log files can help with troubleshooting. Review logs for personal information before sharing them with support.
