The boring stuff is automated. You focus on playing.
One-Click Modpack Install
Pick a modpack from CurseForge or Modrinth and click install. GDLauncher downloads everything, sets up the mod loader, and configures Java. You just hit play.
- Search both platforms at once
- Dependencies handled automatically
- Downloads in parallel for speed
Instance Sharing
Got your instance set up perfectly? Share it with friends using a code. They paste the code, GDLauncher recreates your exact setup, and everyone's playing the same thing.
- Works with custom configs and mod tweaks
- One code, one click
- No manual file sharing
As Many Instances as You Want
Play different modpacks, different Minecraft versions, different mods. Each instance is separate. Organize them in groups.
- Group instances however you like
- Duplicate to experiment
- Import from other launchers

What Players Say
Real feedback from our Discord community.
"GDLauncher is the best launcher I've used so far. The owner releases updates frequently and actively engages with the community. It makes installing different Minecraft versions and managing mods simple and efficient."
"I don't have to worry about Java management anymore. Installing different Minecraft versions is no problem because everything is properly separated. No more incompatible mod versions because I forgot to remove an old mod. It's the best launcher I've used to this day."
"I switched to GDLauncher after using pretty much every other launcher under the sun (Prism, Technic, CurseForge...). You couldn't pay me to go back."
"I really like how quick and easy it is to make an entirely new instance. As someone who supports people with mod-related issues, GDLauncher provides a super reliable and simple way to make vastly different instances with just a few clicks."
"Ever since I discovered GDLauncher, I love using it. It makes playing modded Minecraft easy, especially on Linux."
"Even my noob friend could get it installed and start using mods."
"I love the design and how simple it is, and how it has everything one may need."

"I love GDLauncher because it makes it super easy for me to add mods on the fly without having to open 50 folders."
"GDLauncher makes my friend group's annual Minecraft bender painless."
"I switched to GDLauncher after a friend recommended it to me. Easily one of the best, lightweight Minecraft mod launchers."
