Project Overview

X Minecraft Launcher (XMCL) is an open-source Minecraft launcher built with Electron, featuring a modern user experience. It provides a disk-efficient way to manage all your mods and resources, and supports downloading Minecraft, Forge, Fabric, Quilt, OptiFine, and JVM from official or third-party mirrors.

  • Cross platform: Based on Electron, supports Windows 10/11, macOS, and Linux
  • Multi-Instancing: Create multiple instances to isolate different versions, mods, and launch settings
