P7MC

P7MJ MC Launcher

Introduction

P7MC is a lightweight TUI Minecraft launcher for Windows, built around minecraft-launcher-lib. It is designed to manage multiple Minecraft usernames and versions without needing a graphical interface.

To launch, double-click launch.bat.

On first launch, launch.bat will check for required dependencies and attempt to install anything missing. After initial setup, it will mark the installation as complete and enter P7MC directly in the future.

Interface

P7MC uses a shell-like interface inspired by MSYS2.

P7MC A-1-i | Version 1.14.4 | tehaiker814
$

To launch Minecraft, download versions, or configure settings, you use commands.

Compatibility

P7MC was designed for and only supports windows. Although I would like to make a Linux port (and minecraft-launcher-lib should support this), the main usage of P7MC is more likely to be on Windows.

Feel free to fork it if you have time.

Usage

Startup

Double-click launch.bat. The launcher will check for dependencies such as python3 and minecraft-launcher-lib, and install them if needed. Then it will start P7MC.

Installing a Version

Use the command download to download a version:

download 1.14.4

Snapshots are also supported as well:

download 25w39b

You can fetch the latest version of Minecraft too:

download latest

If a download is ever interrupted, you can retry it with the same command.

Viewing Installed Versions

Use the list utility:

list

This will show a list of versions.

Launching a Version

Use the launch utility followed by the version name to launch it:

launch 1.8.9

If you have launched a version before (indicated by the version number above the prompt), you can launch it again with just launch.

Managing Usernames

The username utility creates and manages usernames.

You must have at least 1 username before launching a version. These usernames are offline, meaning you do not need to log in, you can play without an internet connection and you can choose any username, but you will generally be unable to play on official servers requiring an authenticated account. In that case, search for "Cracked" or "Offline" servers, or just go buy Minecraft.

Deleting Versions

Use the delete utility followed by the version name:

delete 1.8.9

Confirm on the confirmation screen.

Opening the Minecraft Folder

If you wish to manually edit the installations, you can open the path with the open utility:

open

This will open the P7MC directory in File Explorer.

Help

The help utility displays the available commands to use.

Exit

Use the exit command to quit.

Help and Common Errors

P7MC requires Python 3 and minecraft-launcher-lib to run. Although it will attempt to install them if they aren't available, if it fails, install the dependencies manually.

If you cannot download, it might be due to a missing/slow/restricted internet connection. In that case, downloading from another computer and transferring the files via USB or other means will do.

Pre-installed versions

This is for people who have access to this repo but do not have access to the Minecraft servers required to download versions.

There is a branch for each common version of Minecraft. Go to branches -> (your version name) to install that version.
