What is Minecraft Offline?
Despite the identify of the launcher, which is topic to change sooner or later, it would not really allow you to play a cracked model of Minecraft. Quite, Minecraft Offline is being written to handle the issues we've all faced earlier than: mods, with a number of put in versions of the game. Maybe you're utilizing MultiMC to have a special dotminecraft for each profile, or possibly you're just renaming your "mods" folder manually every time you change your model profile in the official Minecraft launcher. Perhaps you're constantly trying to download totally different versions of a mod for every Minecraft version from weird web sites with sketchy ads. Minecraft Offline solves this issue by managing all of it for you.
Fleshing out the idea for this launcher has taken a while, and most of anything written on this doc is topic to vary depending on the technical features of implementing these ideas. I encourage you to critique and help me implement these ideas, although.
The concept as it stands at the moment: Repositories. They're the important thing to all the pieces. It is what makes Linux bundle management work, so why can't we attempt one thing related? Every thing that is robotically loaded from a JSON manifest (corresponding to variations, belongings, libraries, and many others) in addition to my additions (akin to mods, resource packs, profiles, and no matter else I come up with) will be specified inside of a repository's root manifest. The idea is to be ready so as to add a repository, for example https://files.minecraftforge.internet/repo, sync your cached checklist of packages with its specified packages in https://files.minecraftforge.internet/repo/root.json (filename topic to vary), and then go and install the newest Forge profile that's robotically configured to download their customized libraries and additional recordsdata, all straight from the repository. This would negate the requirement to go to the Forge webpage yourself and obtain the installer, which simply installs the Forge profile. This can be taken a step additional with the sport's server direct connect arguments (for example, --server mc.hypixel.internet --port 25565), where a server could host its own repository to pull the entire required mods and other knowledge before launching Minecraft straight into the server. Users would additionally simply have the ability to host their very own repositories, where mod authors, useful resource pack authors, and modded server hosts would be particularly inspired to host their own official repositories.
As of writing, the present state of the launcher is working however has an incomplete interface. These additional features on high of the vanilla launching logic movement will not have any true progress until the interface matures.

Windows: You will need to set up TDM-GCC-64 or a working various so as to compile Go's side of webview, the driver behind the launcher interface.
