minecraft launcher for linux and maybe macos

what does it do

  • download many versions
  • download assets
  • download libraries
  • set up natives
  • select the correct libraries for the version
  • get an authentication token (microsoft auth only)
  • instances
  • launch the game

what does it not do

  • optifine, forge, etc
  • support external natives (openbsd, freebsd, etc)
  • windows support. i will not be adding this

why not use the regular launcher

  • closed source
  • really buggy for some reason
  • i would call it bloated but honestly this is probably slower

why not a third party launcher

theyre all too complex and weird and have Discourse
