Native
The launcher that feels native.
A launcher that does the busywork.
Instances, loaders, content, servers, worlds — handled. You click Play.
Your library, organized
Isolated instances per pack or version — duplicate them, give them custom artwork, cap their RAM, track playtime.
Bulletproof downloads
Parallel, resumable, checksum-verified.
Servers, live
Auto-detected history, playtime, status and quick-join.
One-click mod loaders
The right Java fetched and matched automatically.
Your skin, everywhere
Microsoft sign-in in a popup; offline profiles included.
Three screens you'll live in.
A content store, minus the store.
Search Modrinth and CurseForge for mods, modpacks, resource packs and shaders right inside the launcher.
- One-click installs resolve required dependencies
- Compatible-only results — no version roulette
- Updates surfaced when authors ship them
Zero to modded in twenty seconds.
Pick a loader, pick a version, hit Create. Native installs the loader, fetches the matching Java and builds the instance while you name it.
- Fabric, Quilt, Forge, NeoForge — or clean Vanilla
- Stable and latest channels per loader
- Custom artwork, RAM and JVM flags per instance
Every instance, fully managed.
Content, worlds, screenshots, logs and options live in one place per instance — no folder spelunking.
- Back up worlds to zip in one click
- Live log console with crash capture
- Screenshot gallery straight from the game
Fast is a feature.
Heavy work runs off the interface thread. The launcher never stutters — even mid-download on a potato.
