- Discord RPC
- Configurable:
- JVM arguments
- path to Java
- instance directory
- instance icon
- starting resolution
- Console output
- BetaEvolutions support
- Supports many languages
- Windows 7+ (32/64 bit)
- any up-to-date Linux distro (64 bit)
- macOS 10.8+
- We target Java 7 (because Gson targets Java 7)
- Silicon Macs have inverted blue/red colors, for now you can only bypass this by going fullscreen on v1 (if you get Betacraft v2, the issue is fixed there)
- Earlier versions of Windows (like XP) may work, so long as the Java they run on can handle TLSv1.2 for official Microsoft/Mojang links. There's no guarantee the launcher is going to fully work on non-compliant Java. Earliest Java updates to support TLSv1.2 are 8u181 and 7u191
