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.
