SK’s Launcher

This is a custom Minecraft launcher that allows you to one-click install mods, letting you enable and re-order them at any time. It is small and just as easy to use as the official launcher, and it’s really clean.

So what’s this about mods?

• Install both ModLoader and non-ModLoader mods easily, both the same way, by clicking “Install” and choosing the file.
• Never touch META-INF or minecraft.jar. Just click, select the mod .zip, and then install.
• You don’t need a custom mod made for the launcher. The launcher tries to be smart and figures how the .zip is organized on its own.

Wait! There’s more to it:

• Easily change Java RAM usage options and other game-related settings.
• Switch between multiple Minecraft accounts and remember their passwords.
• Switch between different configurations, each with different settings.
• Switch between different .jar files to run, each with different lists of mods.
• Quick to load, clean news display. Can be disabled anyway.
• Quickly connect to servers you use by right clicking the Play button*.
• Supports updating Minecraft, downloading only files that were updated.
• Having problems? Open the console and view error messages. It won’t close if Minecraft dies.
• Supports digital signature verification for everything, making sure all the files you download with the launcher were not tampered with.
• More options to be found in the options dialog.
• Open source! Don’t trust some Internet person giving you a launcher? Compile it yourself.

*Currently requires manually editing the configuration file.
