Talk:Minecraft Launcher

Shouldn't this wait a while?
Right now this is just a bunch of speculations, the only true information we have is that it logs you in (to the game, nothing was ever said about the site) and that it displays news. All of the other stuff isn't new, like the merchandise, the facebook page, that has all been there before just not on that page but on minecraft.net. The trivia is also kind of pointless. Why does it matter that it prevents one from opening multiple pages of the news feed? There wasn't a true news feed before so it was never an issue. Let's just wait for the facts. --Flippeh 04:42, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Page needs update?
I think that the "Updated Launcher" section is out of date. Sakishrist 10:07, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Launching minecraft.jar with C/C++
How can one launch minecraft.jar from C/C++ application? Any examples or keywords?

to launch the windows executable in c++: int main {   system("Minecraft.exe username password ip_address:port"); //system("Minecraft.exe notch notch's_password1234 192.168.0.1:25565"); return 0; }
 * 1) include

No longer possible to supply username and password via command line?
I tried following the instructions herein for logging in automatically (wanted to make a shortcut for each of my, my wife's, and my daughter's accounts) and none of it appears to work.

In January, [a StackOverflow answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14531917/launch-minecraft-from-command-line-usename-and-password-as-prefix) indicated that this has been removed for security concerns. Should this page be updated to reflect that? Is anyone still successfully logging in with command-line options?

version
This page doesn't tell how to choose what version you play on. Can someone explain this? --70.181.68.226 03:18, 17 May 2013 (UTC)


 * It seems you now need to use the profile editor. That will allow you to change versions, and will narrow the drop down list by quite a bit. Firebastard 19:41, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Lol, thanks. I haven't looked back here since May 28, I think. --70.181.68.226 04:40, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
