This launcher is intended to replace .bat files used to launch the Minecraft client and vanilla/bukkit servers.
It has a simple user interface allowing you to select the file path to your minecraft.exe / bukkit.jar, maximum, and minimum RAM to use when launching Minecraft and/or bukkit servers.
NOTE: if you are running 32 bit java you will NOTbe able to allocate any value above 1gb(1024mb). There is nothing i can do about this blame java
WARNING: Do not allocate more RAM then your computer has. This will damage your computer.
(My launcher, and java should prevent you from doing this, but i can not with %100 certainty guarantee that it is foolproof) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use this:
[spoiler]
-run the program.
-Change the file path to the location of your minecraft.exe (normally on the desktop)
so it looks something like this C:\users\bluephoenix\desktop\minecraft.exe
-change the min and max amount of RAM to the desired value.
-click launch.
-a black window may flash, the program will exit then Minecraft will load.

did you unzip before installing?
uninstall the program via control panel, uninstall a program
re download and reinstall the program if this fails to fix the problem let me know and i will attempt to locate why its failing
also if you are using a dell computer its possible that a program called EULALauncher.NET is causing this error because my program does not have a EULA i would suggest disabling EULALauncher.NET
if you have already downloaded minecraftlauncher v1.0.4.8 please read the newly added disclaimer / EULA section
i did not think such a simple program would need one, but apparently people will steal anything.
new version is out
changes:
-launcher now gets maximum available RAM and generates a list in the selection boxes
-RAM allocation text boxes now remember prior input
-added about button and about dialog box
-cleaned up my code
let me know what y'all think
and as always ... enjoy
Just downloaded the newest version and it works fantastic, keep up the good work. this was really needed. I remember having to use bat file from back before windows was even thought of and i hated them then and still do.
How do I fix or alter: " you cannot start application minecraft launcher from this location because it is already installed from a different location"
-open control panel.
-navigate to uninstall a program.
-find minecraft launcher in the list
-uninstall it.
-download the new release
-unzip minecraftlauncherv1.0.4.10.
-move Minecraft Launcher to desktop
-double click Minecraft Launcher
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
