X Minecraft Launcher

Launcher by Voxelum

Manage your mods and game versions from one launcher.

Note from Modgrade

This launcher also lets you play without buying Minecraft, which Mojang's terms do not allow. A bought copy gives you an official account and access to the servers that require one: minecraft.net .

What we checked

A launcher runs on your computer like any program, and it downloads the game and its mods, so harmful code in it can steal your accounts or files.

Files checkedEach official file is downloaded on a separate machine, opened with every file inside it and never run. ClamAV, a free antivirus, and our YARA rules look for known signs of harm in all of it.

About

X Minecraft Launcher (XMCL) is a Minecraft launcher for setting up and managing separate game instances and their modded resources in one place. It installs Minecraft and loaders including Forge, Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, and OptiFine, while keeping instances isolated and sharing resource files through links to reduce duplicated disk use. Players can browse modpacks and community projects from Modrinth, CurseForge, and FTB, import or export CurseForge and Modrinth modpacks, and organize installed mods with searches, groups, and dependency inspection. The launcher also manages resource packs, shader packs, and other modded-game resources, and supports Microsoft, offline, and third-party authentication options. Its peer-to-peer connection feature enables LAN multiplayer between users who are not on the same physical network.
