OK, I've been working on updating the launcher for the new Minecraft update method. In the process, I'm probably rewriting a big part of the launcher, so it's going to look different (better though, I swear!) and work a lot better.

You can track the changes here:

But once I'm done, I'm going to post a full release.

Thanks for being awesome!
Can't wait to see what you do with it. The vanilla launcher is pretty good. Yet I still assume yours will be better.

Whenever I try to log on it says that the launcher is outdated and comes up with a ton of coding I don't understand. My friend downloaded this for me and put a few mods I wanted to play on it but he isn't able to tell me how to fix this. Please tell me how to fix. Thanks!

Get your friend to do the same thing with MagicLauncher. That one works with 1.6 and up! Read the title for SK's.

Is this premium

sk89q,

I would like to say that when I found your Minecraft launcher, it gave me a way to make it very easy for my users to keep their local files up to date. My favourite feature is that it updates the minecraft folder with files I host myself; a feature I haven't been able to find with any other launcher.

I'm not asking for you to update the launcher, as it is your decision. However, I would like to say thank you for the work you did making this launcher, and that if you did choose to update it, I would very much welcome the new version, and would start using it again instantly.

I'm not sure sk89q allow it, so i will not give any link, but he made a non-official 1.6 launcher and the source code is available. The documentation is not complete, but the launcher works well. You just have to make your own bootstrapper.

Maybe he did not share it here because it's not fully ended, so do not expect to get support for development.

Thanks Elildar.

I just read this thread to see if there was anything else i missed. I probably should have done that before making my post anyway really. Thanks for your reply, i'll give it a shot and see how well it goes.

He stopped updating this?!?!? + :Flint and Steel: = My reaction to dis.

Hey sk89q! Thank you for this! This is an amazing program!

I am having a bit of an issue. I am trying to compile the build following the directions on this page: http://confluence.skcraft.com/display/LAUN/Generating a Package Manifest. I keep getting back "Error: Could not find or load main class com.skcraft.launcher.builder.PackageBuilder". I apologize if I am making a dumb mistake. I have very little experience with this stuff! Thank you in advance for the help!

edit: I fixed that error, but now I get this:

java.io.IOException: 16 file(s) could not be downloaded

Is it even possible to update this to use the new login servers?
I really don't want to use MultiMC for my old installs.

I'm guessing this launcher has been killed off.

NiceNice its really cool

Bro ! The link for linux does not work for me ! This is what it says when tryin to open it "You can now find builds at builds.enginehub.org. Please note that the build numbers at the new site are higher, and most of your links (intentionally) no longer work." Any help? Thanks thks launcher looks really epic too

They said the official page og SKLauncher is unavailable i dunno why?
