minecraft launcher for linux
what does it do
- download all versions (works with tested modded versions)
- run versions from downloaded json/jar pairs
- download assets and libraries
- set up natives
- select the correct libraries for the version (may only work on linux)
- get an authentication token (microsoft auth only, i no longer have a mojang account)
- instance support
- multiple account support
- launch the game
what does it not do
- import minecraft launcher profiles - you will have to manually create profiles for optifine, forge, etc after installation
- support external natives (openbsd, freebsd, etc) with the exception of aarch64 linux
what will it never do
- support windows. it is not a very command line centric operating system
why not use the regular launcher
- closed source
- really buggy for some reason
- much slower in practice
- it is more fun to write one
why not a third party launcher
- too complex (heavy guis and such)
- they all have Discourse
