Additions[]
- Added
--disableGPU
and--debugGPU
command line flags.- --disableGPU disables GPU acceleration when running Minecraft
- --debugGPU shows a window that gives information about the current display settings, which might be useful for troubleshooting and debugging purposes
- Added a Manage Profile menu item (if Minecraft: Java Edition is owned) that redirects to the user's profile page at the Minecraft Website.
- It should also make it easier to manage the user's Minecraft Profile (such as changing name) if using a Microsoft Account.
Changes[]
- MSA sign in window will now automatically be closed when the main launcher window is closed.
- Tweaked the search bar in installations to look the same as on other pages. The button to add a new installation has moved down a bit.
- Improved the login screen for languages that have long text strings.
- Highlighted notes are now only shown in a timed interval. "Two games, one Launcher" is thus no longer shown.
- Hidden at the end of the official release notes is a message reading "T⍑ᒷ a ̇/𝙹ꖎ𝙹ℸ ̣ ꖎᓭ ᔑ∷ᒷ リ𝙹ℸ ̣ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ|| ᓭᒷᒷᒲ", directly translating to "The Axolotls are not what they seem".
