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
|
|
|
|
