Hey everyone,
v1.0.0 Beta is finally here. We spent the last few days fixing and polishing everything that felt clunky, broken, or just annoying in earlier builds.

What’s New & What Changed

  • UI Layout & Spacing Overhaul: Kept the classic black and white aesthetic untouched, but went through every screen to fix colliding buttons, cramped margins, and text overlapping. Also replaced raw ISO date strings with clean human-readable timestamps ("Today at 2:30 PM").
  • Launcher Now Actually Reopens After You Play:
    • When you hit Play, MONORYX closes/hides itself so it doesn't waste CPU or GPU resources while Minecraft is running.
    • As soon as you close the game (or if it exits/crashes), the launcher pops right back up.
    • If you click the shortcut while the game is running, it won't just silently do nothing anymore — it brings the existing window straight to the front.
  • Built-in Game Crash Catcher: If Minecraft crashes (bad mod, out of memory, wrong Java version), you won't be left guessing. A dialog will pop up explaining what happened, with one-click buttons to copy the error log, open the crash folder, or view the full stack trace.
  • Eco Mode: Renamed the old boost toggle to Eco Mode. When turned on, it applies sensible low-RAM JVM flags and memory limits so background apps don't choke while playing on lower-end rigs.
  • SkinsRestorer Compatibility: Added proper server-wide support so your skin actually shows up on servers running SkinsRestorer when playing with custom/offline profiles.
  • Discover / Modrinth Search Fix: Fixed the issue where searching for Shaders, Resource Packs, or Modpacks returned "No results found". Filtering and downloading from Modrinth works across all tabs now.
  • Dedicated Accounts Page: Moved account settings out of the general settings clutter into its own dedicated page in the sidebar. (Microsoft Account login is marked as Coming Soon for now).
  • Modern Windows Installer:
    • Upgraded the Inno Setup installer with a cleaner modern wizard and setup icon.
    • Automatically associates .mrpack files with MONORYX (double-clicking a Modrinth modpack will open/install it directly).
    • Registers the monoryx:// protocol handler.
    • Added the "Launch MONORYX now" checkbox on completion.
  • Under the Hood:
    • Fixed app icon missing in Task Manager and desktop shortcuts.
    • Completely cleaned up the codebase (zero comments, zero clippy warnings, all 143 unit tests passing).
