Template:Infobox

The Minecraft launcher is the login and downloader front-end to the stand-alone client. It is responsible for downloading the main Java packages, including minecraft.jar, which holds the code and resources of the game such as textures, and LWJGL. It also acts somewhat like a basic and easily bypassable copy-restriction by forcing the user to login to a paid account when running for the first time. It is possible to use the launcher to run versions of Minecraft from nearly any era. However, not every version of the game is included (to see a list of all missing versions, see missing versions). The current launcher is the sixth launcher for Minecraft, and the second that was built to automatically update itself.

Launch

2016LauncherLogin

The login screen for launchers without being previously logged-in.

Every time the launcher is executed, it checks a specific directory where Minecraft stores its files called ".minecraft". It checks a file called "launcher_profiles.json" for login credentials. If the file does not exist, is corrupt, or no user is logged in, the user must login with a valid premium account, otherwise the user will be directed to play the Demo version or purchase the game.

When logging in, the launcher will first try to verify the login. If a valid "launcher_profiles.json" file exists but there is no Internet connection, the launcher will offer a "Play offline" mode if a player was logged in when it was last closed. If the connection is successful, the launcher will then, depending on profile options, compare the latest version in the latest "versions" directory to the latest version reported by the server. If the selected version does not exist or the latest installed version is outdated when "Use latest version" is selected in the profile, the launcher will download all Minecraft components and Java binary files. It will also synchronize everything in the "assets" folder (see Resource pack).

Finally, upon a successful update or installation, the launcher will execute the Minecraft jar (via "javaw.exe", Oracle's Java Virtual Machine executable.) It is possible however for there to be missing ".jar" files, in which case the launcher will attempt to replace the missing files automatically but will stop if there is no connection.

Currently, the Minecraft launcher supports 57 languages.

Features

Launcher

  • Manage multiple profiles (stored in "launcher_profiles.json"). Each profile can control:
    • Game version. Includes access to outdated development builds and previous releases. Older/custom versions can also be added manually.[1]
    • Mojang account used to play the game
    • Command line arguments for Java (such as heap size)
    • Game directory (where the game files are saved on disk)
    • Edit profile pictures or custom made ones
  • The launcher doesn't store the password locally. Instead of this, it uses a 'refresh token'
  • The launcher supports multiple instances (as the game also does)
  • Automatic updates for launcher
  • Ability to update libraries, such as LWJGL
  • Offline mode. (The first time launch requires an Internet connection to download required resources)
  • 57 languages available
  • Crashes can be reported to Mojang, through Hopper
  • Crashes are indexed through a database for information on how to fix the issue
  • Launcher Settings
  • Switching accounts or logging off
  • Changing skins
  • Downloads servers on versions
  • Help button
  • Shows you the launcher version information when you click the launcher version

Backward compatibility

HowtoOldVersion2016

A profile with Alpha and Beta versions enabled

The Minecraft launcher has the ability to play old Alpha and Beta versions of the game. Currently snapshots, Alpha, Beta, and all release versions are available to play. Four Pre-classic versions, four Classic versions, and one Infdev version are available under the name "old_alpha".[2] No Indev versions are currently available from the launcher.

These versions are very out of date and may be unstable. Any bugs, glitches, missing features, or crashes that result from instability will never be resolved as only later versions are supported. Mojang strongly recommends backing up any save data and playing through a separate directory in the case of corruption.[3]

To enable the old versions, click the "Launch Options", turn the "Historical Versions", make a new profile, select any of the versions in the "Version" box, then click "Save".

Skins

ChangingSkinLauncher

Skin options in the launcher

You can change or add your custom skin within the Minecraft launcher. To change or add your skin click the "Skins" button, then click the "Browse" button to navigate through your file system for your skin file. The file must have a resolution of 64×64 in order for the launcher to accept it as a skin file. Additionally, the skin file must be in a .png format. After you have found the skin file, click the "Save" button to confirm your in-game skin.

  • You can reset your skin to the Steve or Alex defaults by clicking "Click to reset".
  • You can choose between player models - either Classic (Steve) or Slim (Alex).

If the game is running when the user enters this menu, a warning appears at the bottom of the launcher: Minecraft is currently running. Skin changes may not take effect until the game is next started.

Profiles

When you open the launcher for first time, it creates a profile that selects the latest version of Minecraft - it cannot be removed.

However, you may create a game profile of your own in the launcher. Click on the "Launch Options" button, then click "Add New" to create one. After this, name your profile as you want it. If you leave it, it will be named "Unnamed Configuration". Then, optionally, select a profile picture from the launcher or a custom one. However, it must be a 128×128 .png picture. Select the version you wish to play, and click "Save" to confirm your profile. If you want to edit a profile, just click it. The same applies if you wish to delete a profile. Simply click the profile you want to delete and then click the "Delete [X]" button to remove it.

  • File:2016LauncherProfileSettings.png

    Profile settings in the launcher

    You can download server versions by clicking "Download Server".
  • If you want to resize the game, turn "Resolution" on to change the game window size.
  • You can turn "Advanced Settings" on to show more profile options.
  • If you want to change the .minecraft file path, turn the on the "Game directory" option. Now, navigate to the folder where you wish to relocate the .minecraft folder. You can also open the Minecraft profile by clicking the green arrow-shaped "Go to folder" button.
  • If you turned "Snapshot Versions" on, it creates a "Latest Snapshot" profile automatically.
  • You can manually set a logging configuration (see the Debugging article on wiki.vg for more info)

Command Line usage

As of 2.1.1432, the launcher has 9 command-line options available:

  • --clean - This option deletes the game and runtime folders, including their contents, from the working directory.
  • --launcherui
  • --workDir - This option, followed by a path (relative or absolute), will change the location (and/or name) of the .minecraft folder.
  • --nativeLauncherVersion
  • --tmpDir - This option, followed by a path (relative or absolute), will change the location (and/or name) of the tmp folder.
  • --lockDir
  • --winTen - This option adds support for Windows 10. Since the launcher now supports Windows 10 fully, this option is unnecessary and seems to have no effect.
  • --proxyHost
  • --proxyPort

The --workDir option can be used to create a portable installation of the game. For example, --workDir . (or --workDir=.) can be used to make the launcher use the current directory (no matter what the current folder is called).

A '''copper horn''' was an [[item]] crafted from a [[goat horn]] and [[copper ingots]].

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
 |ignoreusage=1
 |A2=Copper Ingot
 |B2=Goat Horn
 |B3=Copper Ingot
 |C2=Copper Ingot
 |Output=Copper Horn
}}

=== Natural generation ===
Copper horns were found in pillager outpost chests.

== Usage ==
Copper horns were used to play sounds. They took one second to use and had a four second cooldown. There were ten variations of copper horns, and each of them played three different sounds: when looking up, crouching, or neither of those. In total, there were thirty different sounds that could be played using copper horns. The sound a copper horn plays based on multiple conditions, which are in order as follows:
* If crouching, the bass tune was played.
* Else, if looking up (by 45 degrees), the harmony tune was played.
* Else, the melody tune was played.

== Sounds ==
Sound names in the item tooltip are created using the harmony, melody, and bass sounds in that order.

The '''dragon's breath''' is a [[brewing]] item that is used solely to make [[lingering potion]]s.

== Obtaining ==

The dragon's breath can be obtained by scooping  up the [[ender dragon]]'s breath attack or the purple [[area effect cloud|effect clouds]] caused by [[dragon fireball]]s in an empty [[glass bottle]].

== Usage ==

=== Brewing ingredient ===

Dragon's breath may be added to any splash potion to upgrade it to a lingering potion, which can be used to create a lasting [[Lingering Potion#Area Effect Cloud|area effect cloud]], or to craft [[Arrow#Tipped arrows|tipped arrows]].
{{brewing

The '''Smarter Watch''' was a joke offhand [[item]].

== Usage ==
Smarter watches were "equipped" by having them placed into the offhand slot. Upon equipping, they would display the current time above the hotbar, in minutes and seconds, with one minute of in-game time being 5/6 of a real-time second, and one in-game hour being 5/6 of a real-time minute or 50 seconds.

The smarter watch would also notify the [[player]] of statistics milestones, alongside taken [[damage]], [[item]] specific info, [[crafting]] items and more.{{info needed|What exactly?}}

Smarter Watches are an unsupported [[item]] due to being an [[Wikipedia:April Fools' Day|April Fools']] joke, and therefore issues relating to them will not be fixed.

'''Bookshelves''' are [[blocks]] that improve [[enchanting|enchantments]] applied with an [[enchanting table]] when placed around one, up to a maximum of fifteen bookshelves, at the expense of [[Enchanting/Levels|level]] requirement.

== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Bookshelves can generate in village libraries and sometimes village houses.

[[Stronghold]]s may contain up to two libraries, each of which may be single-level or have an upper balcony. These feature some bookshelves arranged in pillars, and more bookshelves arranged in pillars in the walls. Single-level libraries contain 161 bookshelves, while libraries with balconies contain 233.

Bookshelves also naturally generate in certain [[woodland mansion]] rooms.

=== Breaking ===
Bookshelves can be broken fairly easily by hand, but can be broken faster by using an [[axe]]. In either case, they drop 3 books when broken, allowing the reconstruction of the bookshelf with the addition of six wood planks. When broken by an item that is [[enchanted]] with [[Silk Touch]], a bookshelf drops itself.

=== Trading ===
Novice-level librarian [[Villager|villagers]] have a 50% chance to sell 1 bookshelf for 9 [[Emerald|emeralds]] as part of their trades.{{only|bedrock}}

Novice-level librarian villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell 1 bookshelf for 9 emeralds.{{only|java}}

== Usage ==
=== Enchanting ===
{{main|Enchantment mechanics#Bookshelf placement}}

If an [[enchanting table]] is placed near a bookshelf, glyph [[particles]] fly from the bookshelf toward the enchanting table. Having bookshelves in the proper position near the table allows the table to apply higher-level enchantments.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Fuel ===
Bookshelves can be used as a [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per block.

=== Villager ===
Librarian [[villager]]s can interact with bookshelves.

=== Note Blocks ===
Bookshelf can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass" sounds.

A '''brewing stand''' is a [[block]] used for [[brewing]] [[potion]]s using [[Glass Bottle|bottles]] and suitable ingredients. It also serves as a [[cleric]]'s [[job site block]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

A brewing stand can be obtained using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing {{in|JE}}, while it drops itself {{in|BE}}.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Brewing Stand|Pickaxe|Wood|foot=1}}

=== Natural generation ===

Brewing stands generate in [[end ship]]s. They have two [[potion of Healing|Instant Health II potions]] in their holders. 

A brewing stand also generates in the basement of [[igloo]]s with a [[splash potion of Weakness]] in it.

Brewing stands can generate without potions in [[village]] churches.

|Output= Brewing Stand

|description=Can use cobblestone and its other variants interchangeably.
|foot=1
}}

== Usage ==
[[File:Brewing Stand GUI.png|thumb|right|176px|Brewing stand GUI {{in|java}}]]

By default, the interface  of a brewing stand is labeled "Brewing Stand", but this name can be customized by naming it in an [[anvil]] before placing it.

Brewing stands cannot be pushed by [[piston]]s {{in|java}}.

=== Brewing ===
{{main|Brewing}}
The main purpose of brewing stands is to allow for the [[brewing]] of [[potion]]s. Its interface can be opened by pressing {{control|use}} on them.

Brewing stands need [[blaze powder]] as fuel. Each piece brews 20 batches of potions, with each stage of brewing counting separately. Unlike [[furnace]]s, there is no time limit; fuel is consumed only when there are [[Glass Bottle|bottles]] and an ingredient to brew into it.

Brewing stands interact with [[hopper]]s as follows:

* They accept brewing ingredients from hoppers pointing down into the top.
* Any valid potion recipe can be preloaded for "hands-free" brewing of a complex recipe, with the [[Nether Wart|nether wart]] falling through into the stand for the first step.
* Bottles and fuel are accepted from hoppers pointing into the side.
* Finished products can be pulled out by hoppers below, but each stage of brewing counts as a batch of "finished" potions.

{{IN|education}}, elements can be combined in the brewing stand to make the [[medicine]] potions: antidote, elixir, eye drops, and tonic.

=== Changing profession ===
If a village has a brewing stand that has not been claimed by a villager, any villager who hasn't already picked a [[job site]] block in the village has a chance to change their profession into cleric.

=== Light source ===
Brewing stands emit a light level of 1.

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Even when the brewing stand is not in use, there is still smoke coming out of the top of it.
* In ''[[Java Edition]]'', when a brewing stand is broken, particles from a bottle appear, even if no bottle is in the stand.
* No matter what potion (including water bottles) is in the stand it always looks like a full red bottle.
* Brewing stands always face east, no matter what direction they are placed.
* According to [[Michael Stoyke|Searge]], for thematic reasons, a brewing stand was added to the basement of the [[igloo]]. Because of this, blaze powder was required for fuel to preserve game progression. In this way, the player is prevented from using it before going to the Nether.<ref>https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/meet-blaze</ref>

== Usage ==

=== Brewing ingredient ===

Dragon's breath may be added to any splash potion to upgrade it to a lingering potion, which can be used to create a lasting [[Lingering Potion#Area Effect Cloud|area effect cloud]], or to craft [[Arrow#Tipped arrows|tipped arrows]].
{{brewing

}} 

A '''bone''' is an [[item]] primarily obtained from [[skeleton]]s and similar mobs. It can be crafted into [[Bone Meal|bone meal]] or used to tame wild [[Wolf|wolves]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|bone}}

=== Mob loot ===

Skeletons, [[wither skeleton]]s, [[skeleton horse]]s, and [[stray]]s may drop 0–2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 bones with Looting III.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[salmon]], [[cod]], [[pufferfish]], and [[tropical fish]] have 25% chance to drop 1-2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 2-8 bones with Looting III.
Salmon (small and medium size) have 25% chance to drop 1 bone upon death, The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2-7 bones with Looting III. The chance of dropping bones increases by 1% per looting level, so with Looting III there is up to a 28% chance of bones dropping.

=== Fishing ===

Bones can also be obtained by [[fishing]] as part of the junk category. The best chance of catching a bone is achieved without the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment, yielding a 1.1% chance.

== Usage ==

=== Helmet ===
[[File:Steve wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]
[[File:Alex wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]
While a bone cannot be equipped in the head slot in Survival mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear in the player's mouth.

=== Taming ===

Using a bone on a wild [[wolf]] has a {{frac|1|3}} chance of [[taming]] it. Bones cannot tame a hostile wolf or a wolf that has already been tamed. However, bones can be used to attract the attention of the tamed ones.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
A bone can be crafted into 3 bone meal.

Trivia

Launcher Creeper faceLauncher shrug emoji
  • In the top left corner a barely visible button can be found which randomly shows either a creeper face or a shrug kaomoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It glows white when clicked, but has no use at all.
    • The creeper face as well as shrug were used for the language selection menu during the beta phase of the launcher, but when a globe was added instead both were simply moved downwards to be kept as an Easter egg.
  • Hovering long enough over the "Play" button will cause random mobs appear on the right side of the window.
