Minecraft custom launchers
This cluster consists of 75 custom launchers for Minecraft, focusing on managing mods, shaders, accounts, game versions, and alternative authentication. Dated entries span from November 2011 to July 2026, with sparse early releases and a higher frequency in recent years. Traction is led by PocketJLauncher with 4 stars, followed by MikoLauncher with 2 stars and mcgl-arm64 with 1 star.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
