A launcher can send information about you over the internet, such as your player name or your login.
Deep checkWe read the code and list each web address it can contact, and what it sends. We leave out code that is never used.
Also named in its codeAddresses written in its code that no code we read contacts: a link shown to you, a default setting, or code we could not follow.
Fjord Launcher is a Prism Launcher fork focused on supporting alternative Minecraft authentication servers, including Drasl, Ely.by, and Blessing Skin. It supports adding offline or authlib-injector accounts after a Microsoft account has been added, and users can configure a custom Loki or authlib-injector version for an instance.
