CraftLauncher
A server’s custom Minecraft launcher: background, news and Play button

Your server deserves its own launcher.

The real launcher, not a picture

This is what your players will open.

Pick a mood, and the whole launcher follows

Build it

Configure your mods and branding from the dashboard, CraftLauncher handles the build and hosting. Your players download a single executable and play in one click, just like on a big server.

    It shows up in the launcher and becomes its download address.

What other launchers don’t have

Much more than a Play button.

A community inside the launcher, mods nobody can steal, a server protected from cheaters, and numbers that tell you who stays and why.

01

A community, inside the launcher.

Your players see who is online and who is in game, message each other, meet in channels and jump on voice calls. No Discord needed on the side.

  • Friends, requests and live presence
  • Private messages and group channels
  • Built-in voice calls
Pro and Network
The friends drawer open in the launcher
02

Your mods, encrypted.

Your custom mods are your work. With the mod vault, they are encrypted on our servers and only your launcher can read them: nobody can pull them from your distribution.

  • AES-256-GCM encryption
  • A unique key per launcher, baked in at build time
  • Mod names hidden if you want

AES-256-GCMReadable by your launcher only
03

Cheaters stay at the door.

The launcher only runs the mods you published. A file dropped in by hand is quarantined, before and during the game, and code injection at startup is blocked.

  • Allowlist: your mods, nothing else
  • Mods folder watched during the game
  • Injection arguments stripped (javaagent, classpath)

Your store, without leaving the game.

Ranks, cosmetics, keys: your Tebex packages show up in the launcher, in your server’s colors, and sell in two clicks.

  • Connected to your Tebex store
  • Featured, customized packages
  • Payments secured by Tebex

05

Know who stays, and why the others leave.

Next-day, one-week and one-month retention. Weekly cohorts, churn rate, and the players who left with the clue that drove them away.

  • Retention and cohorts
  • Churn rate and lost players
  • Acquisition, activity, player hardware

06

Moderate your players.

Who launched your launcher, since when, on which version. Duplicate accounts are flagged, and a ban applies from their very next launch.

  • Player list and sessions
  • Linked accounts detected (alts)
  • Bans by account or IP address

Crashes reach you, with the fix.

When a player’s game crashes, they send their logs in one click. Reports are grouped by cause, and the fix is often suggested: just click it.

  • “Send logs” button in the launcher
  • Reports grouped by cause
  • Suggested fix (missing mod, memory, Java)

Questions

What people ask us the most.

What exactly is a custom launcher?

A custom launcher is a desktop app that replaces the official Minecraft launcher. It carries your visual identity (logo, colors, name), automatically manages mods and updates, and gives your players a premium experience.

Do I need to know how to code?

Not at all. Our intuitive web dashboard lets you manage every aspect of your launcher with zero technical skills. Drag and drop your mods, edit the copy, and publish in one click.

How do my players get the launcher?

You get a direct download link you can share on your website, Discord, or social media. Players download an installer (.exe, .dmg, or .AppImage) and the launcher updates itself automatically after that.

Can I import a modpack from Modrinth?

Yes, in one click. Search for a modpack in the dashboard, import it — CraftLauncher downloads the mods, configs, and distribution files automatically. Compatible with Forge, NeoForge and Fabric.

Can I change plans later?

Yes, you can upgrade at any time. Any mid-month change is prorated and added to your next invoice. Downgrading is available after one full month on your current plan.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

If you cancel, your data is kept for 20 days. Resume your subscription within that window and everything is restored. After that, the data is permanently deleted.

How long does delivery take?

Your launcher is compiled automatically. Get your download link in about 5 minutes after configuration. The paid plans get priority, faster builds.

Can a player add cheat mods?

No. The launcher only runs the mods you published: a file added by hand is quarantined, before and during the game, and the arguments that inject code at startup are stripped. You can still allow personal mods if you want.

Can someone grab my mods from the launcher?

With the mod vault (Pro and Network plans), your mods are encrypted on our servers and only your launcher can read them, thanks to a key unique to each launcher. Your custom mods stay yours.

Your server deserves its own launcher.

Build it now, publish it tonight. Your players will only have one file to install.
