MultiMC/Launcher
Launcher
Prism Launcher is a Minecraft game launcher and instance manager designed to authenticate game accounts and start installations via a graphical interface or command line. It functions as a modpack installer that automates the setup of preconfigured modification sets from various third-party platforms.
The project focuses on maintaining multiple independent game installations on a single machine, using isolated environments to ensure that different versions, mods, and save files do not conflict. It includes a Java runtime configurator to detect and assign specific system environments for compatibility across different game versions.
The system covers account authentication and session management, including support for offline profiles. Additional capabilities include the automation of mod loader installations, game asset management, and the capture of color-coded real-time logs for diagnostic troubleshooting.
The software provides tools for importing third-party modpacks and exporting local game environments for backup.
