A LOOK INSIDE

Your installs.
A bit more
organized.

IN THE PUBLIC CATALOGVanilla Minecraft1.21.1 / JAVA EDITION

Start with vanilla.

Install the Minecraft Java client and its matching Java runtime from one place. No separate Java setup to work through.

Keep each setup separate.

Profiles have their own local instances. File checks and repair tools help you sort out an install without mixing it into another pack.

Bring the community’s packs along.

The launcher supports versioned profiles published by the server team. The first public catalog starts with vanilla; the Civilizations screenshots here are from our existing CurseForge instance.

AWAY FROM THE SETTINGS MENU

This is the good bit.

A couple of moments from
Monkeycraft Civilizations.

BEFORE YOU GO

A few useful
answers.

Does this include a Minecraft license?

No. The launcher downloads official client components when you install a profile. Playing requires a Microsoft account that owns Minecraft Java Edition.

Will it change my CurseForge installs?

No. Monkeycraft uses its own instance library. Existing CurseForge instances are not imported or changed automatically.

What do I do after downloading?

Save the Windows launcher somewhere permanent, then open it and choose a profile to install. Instances and settings live in your Windows user profile. Microsoft sign-in and Play will need Minecraft API approval before they’re available.

Do I need a website account?

No account is needed to download. When Minecraft API approval is complete, Microsoft sign-in will happen in the desktop launcher through Microsoft’s own sign-in page.
