Jiayi Launcher

Minecraft for Windows mod manager (Bedrock Edition)

This project has been marked as legacy software, and no major features will be added. We are shifting our focus towards a complete remake of Jiayi Launcher, hoping to achieve feature parity with the legacy mod manager as well as add new features. We will still accept pull requests. Join our Discord server in the badge below for more info on development.

Features

• Simple, clean, and customizable user interface
• Manage and launch internal and external mods, both stored locally and from the internet
• A version manager that integrates with the mod manager
• Back up and switch between different game data folders with Profiles (resource packs, worlds, settings, etc.)
• Easily apply Renderdragon shaders and make your game look beautiful

Installation

Using the installer

Most users would prefer a program that handles the installation of Jiayi Launcher. Our installer can be downloaded here, and it's about 6 MB in size. The installer automatically downloads and installs the mod manager, installs required dependencies, and integrates Jiayi Launcher with the shell. The source code for the installer is also contained within this repository.

Manual/portable install

Our current and past releases of Jiayi Launcher can be found in the Releases page. All releases are zipped and can be ran immediately after extracting, no installer required.
