Minecraft Launcher 1.6.93

The old launcher we all know and love with the quality-of-life features of the new launcher. This aims to support java 8 through modern java. A fork of OLauncher to restore the former glory of the jar launcher, like a snapshot from the past.

How to use

1. Go to the latest release
2. Download the MinecraftLauncher-xxx-redist.jar file
3. Run it

Features

• Microsoft authentication
• Bundled JVMs
  • Automatically downloads the appropriate JVM for all minecraft versions
  • You just need a runtime to open the actual launcher
  • You can still provide your own JVMs
• Update checking

Planned Features

• Add skin/cape management

Minor TODOs

• Support demo users (if they have a Microsoft account but no Minecraft profile)

How to build from source

NOTE: You need jdk (I used openjdk17), git, and maven. If it fails theres a chance you have to tell git who you are, I did it like this: git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Of course replacing the quotes with your values.

1. Run git clone https://github.com/waterdragon78/MinecraftLauncher-1.6.93 && cd MinecraftLauncher-1.6.93
2. Run ./compile.sh (easiest and recommended) OR the steps below: The commands must be run in the following order to build from source:

• ./decompile.sh
  • Downloads original jar and decompiles it
• ./init.sh
  • Turns decompiled sources into a git repository
• ./applyPatches.sh
  • Applies OLauncher patches to the decompiled sources
• mvn clean package
  • Compiles the patched launcher
• ./genredist.sh (optional)
  • Make sure you've run git submodule update --init as this script uses the AutoOL submodule.
  • Generates the redistributable JAR - Do not distribute the JARs in olauncher/target!

3. You can either run the MinecraftLauncher-1.6.93-redist.jar with java -jar MinecraftLauncher-1.6.93-redist.jar or the MinecraftLauncher-1.6.93.jar inside olauncher/target/ with java -jar olauncher/target/MinecraftLauncher-1.6.93.jar
