Minecraft launcher created out of dissatisfaction with other clients
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What's it do?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- download many versions
|
||
|
|
- download assets
|
||
|
|
- download libraries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What's it *not* do?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- select the correct libraries for the version
|
||
|
|
- set up natives (will only support linux)
|
||
|
|
- get an authentication token (I will not support Mojang accounts)
|
||
|
|
- instances
|
||
|
|
- ...launch the game :/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why not use the regular launcher?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- closed source
|
||
|
|
- really buggy, for some reason
|
||
|
|
- I'd call it bloated but honestly this is probably slower
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why not a third party launcher?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GDLauncher sounds great but it crashes for me and MultiMC's management sucks; they're terrible about custom builds and branding. I don't know of any other launchers and quite frankly I think I should just torture myself by making one.

## I want to steal your code.

I'm honored, I guess? The code is public domain. There's no license file, so just put in your own and pretend I put it there.
