Project Overview

CM Launcher is a Minecraft launcher for Windows offering both offline and premium login. It organizes the game around instances, supports downloading mods and modpacks from Modrinth and CurseForge, and bundles practical tools such as virtual LAN multiplayer, a seed map, worlds, and projections. The interface offers Chinese and English and follows the system language.

One launcher gathers everything needed to launch, mod, and play together.
