P7MC - P7MJ's MC Launcher

🚀Introduction

P7MC, the terminal line Minecraft launcher! It is truly minimalist and easy to use. Just double-click launch.bat.

Upon launch, a library check will be done, and you will see the following:

========================================

[e] Exit

📝Usage

After launching for the first time, the required libraries will be downloaded. You must install a version before playing.

Press 2, then press enter. Select a version to install or enter "latest" to install the latest version.

After a successful installation, press 1 and enter at the main menu to enter the launch screen. You should be able to see your installed version in the version list. Enter your version, e.g. 1.8.9, and press enter. The launch process will begin.

🔧Help and Common Errors

This launcher is based on Python and therefore needs a modern installation of Python. Python 3.13 and above should work fine. Pip is also required (and usually comes with python) to install the libraries. If it is unable to install the libraries automatically, run pip install minecraft-launcher-lib.

If newer or older versions of Minecraft is unable to launch (or nothing is able to launch at all), please install the corresponding versions of Java (JDK). For 1.16.5 and below, use Java 8 or 11; For 1.17, use Java 16; For 1.18 - 1.20.4, use Java 17; For 1.20.5 and above, use Java 21.

If there is a problem when downloading, it is likely that your network is slow, stuttering, or there is a firewall or group policy. School computers with Lightspeed might not work, so download on another uncaged computer and transfer the files to the target computer.

If the download terminates prematurely due to an error, don't panic! You can just go to the install menu and enter the same version again. The program will detect the already-downloaded files, do a file size check on them (to ensure integrity), remove all partial files and replace them with complete ones, and finish what was left!

If you cannot launch after installing, try using the above method to intergity-check the files. If it still cannot, try deleting the version and reinstalling.

This launcher cannot join many "Online" servers, like Hypixel, due to using an "Offline" method that enables setting your username to whatever you want and bypassing the Mojang authentication. Search for "Offline" servers to play multiplayer, or open a local LAN world if you are playing on the same network.

If there are any more issues, make an issue on this project page and be sure to include screenshots, videos, and/or logs, or be prepared to describe your issue as precisely as possible.
