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.
Hi, I used this launcher on a 1.4 server and I must say it is really great. But I would now switch to 1.6.
Looking on your Github, I have no idea of the progress of the project because I have hundreds of errors at compile time.
Do you know approximately what time to your project will be completed (December, January, February)?
Whenever I try to log on it says that the launcher is outdated and comes up with a ton of coding I don't understand.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!
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.
I updated the launcher for MC 1.6 (more like rewrote), BUT I only wrote the modpack distribution platform this time. You can't create your own profiles... you get them from some server.
I run a modded server, and we needed a new launcher to update our server, so that's how it went. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for adding back the regular launcher features (making your own profiles).
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!

sk89q discontinued this launcher when Mojang changed how logging in works, but he replaced it with a new launcher, SKCraft Launcher. I've written CraftBoot, a bootstrapper for SKCraft Launcher that allows it to be easily used by server admins and modpack makers. More info here.

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
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.

You can find the code for this new launcher here:
https://github.com/skcraft/launcher
Remember, it's really only for sending custom modpacks to your servers' players/friends.

I really don't want to use MultiMC for my old installs.
I'm guessing this launcher has been killed off.
the pc one says this webpage is not available
They said the official page og SKLauncher is unavailable i dunno why?
Uh... Me!
