At the moment you can get support via Discord (link above).A bare bones login library for Minecraft based projects to authenticate individuals with a Microsoft account.
A basic ES6 example with MCLC
import { Client } from "minecraft-launcher-core";
const launcher = new Client();
//Import the Auth class
import { Auth } from "msmc";
//Create a new Auth manager
const authManager = new Auth("select_account");
//Launch using the 'raw' gui framework (can be 'electron' or 'nwjs')
const xboxManager = await authManager.launch("raw");
//Generate the Minecraft login token
const token = await xboxManager.getMinecraft();
// Pulled from the Minecraft Launcher core docs.
let opts = {
clientPackage: null,
// Simply call this function to convert the msmc minecraft object into a mclc authorization object
authorization: token.mclc(),
root: "./.minecraft",
version: {
number: "1.18.2",
type: "release",
},
memory: {
max: "6G",
min: "4G",
},
};
console.log("Starting!");
launcher.launch(opts);
launcher.on("debug", (e) => console.log(e));
launcher.on("data", (e) => console.log(e));
A basic commonJS example with MCLC
const { Client } = require("minecraft-launcher-core");
const launcher = new Client();
//Import the Auth class
const { Auth } = require("msmc");
//Create a new Auth manager
const authManager = new Auth("select_account");
//Launch using the 'raw' gui framework (can be 'electron' or 'nwjs')
authManager.launch("raw").then(async (xboxManager) => {
//Generate the Minecraft login token
const token = await xboxManager.getMinecraft();
// Pulled from the Minecraft Launcher core docs.
let opts = {
clientPackage: null,
// Simply call this function to convert the msmc Minecraft object into a mclc authorization object
authorization: token.mclc(),
root: "./.minecraft",
version: {
number: "1.18.2",
type: "release",
},
memory: {
max: "6G",
min: "4G",
},
};
console.log("Starting!");
launcher.launch(opts);
launcher.on("debug", (e) => console.log(e));
launcher.on("data", (e) => console.log(e));
});
A basic commonJS example with GMLL
const gmll = require("gmll");
//Import the Auth class
const { Auth } = require("msmc");
gmll.init().then(async () => {
//Create a new Auth manager
const authManager = new Auth("select_account");
//Launch using the 'raw' gui framework (can be 'electron' or 'nwjs')
const xboxManager = await authManager.launch("raw");
//Generate the Minecraft login token
const token = await xboxManager.getMinecraft();
var int = new gmll.instance();
//Launch with the gmll token
int.launch(token.gmll());
});
A basic ES6 example with GMLL
import { init, instance } from "gmll";
//Import the Auth class
import { Auth } from "msmc";
await init();
//Create a new Auth manager
const authManager = new Auth("select_account");
//Launch using the 'raw' gui framework (can be 'electron' or 'nwjs')
const xboxManager = await authManager.launch("raw");
//Generate the Minecraft login token
const token = await xboxManager.getMinecraft();
var int = new instance();
//Launch with the gmll token
int.launch(token.gmll());
This module is the starting point of msmc. It will be the first msmc object you create. It is also the object that'll handle all of msmc's events for you. Mainly the load event.
class Auth extends EventEmitter {
token: MStoken;
constructor(prompt?: prompt);
constructor(token: MStoken);
createLink(): string;
login(code: string): Promise<Xbox>;
refresh(MS: msAuthToken): Promise<Xbox>;
refresh(refreshToken: string): Promise<Xbox>;
launch(
framework: framework,
windowProperties?: windowProperties,
): Promise<Xbox>;
server(port?: number): Promise<void>;
on(event: "load", listener: (asset: lexcodes, message: string) => void): this;
once(
event: "load",
listener: (asset: lexcodes, message: string) => void,
): this;
}
This version of the constructor will generate an Auth object with the vanilla Minecraft launcher token. The prompt variable is a string that provides the prompt field in the vanilla token as that is not provided by default.
type prompt = "login" | "none" | "consent" | "select_account";
To learn more about the prompt type, check out Microsoft's support page. It will provide more details for the possible value of this field.
This version of the constructor is for use with custom Microsoft tokens.
interface MStoken {
client_id: string;
redirect: string;
clientSecret?: string;
prompt?: prompt;
}
The Oauth2 token details needed for you to log people in with Microsoft's service.

Creates a login link using the given Token. Can be used if you're forgoing msmc's default gui based login flow for something custom. In essence you should use this link as a redirect, then capture the returning code url-parameter and feed it into the login function
The low level login function msmc uses. The returning promise is for the next stage in the login chain. Mainly the Xbox module. I'd refer you to the next module to learn more!
returns an instance of the Xbox module or throws an error
The low level refresh function msmc uses. This will attempt to refresh the Microsoft token at the core of msmc and return an Xbox object as a result. Please see the msToken variable under the Xbox module.
interface msAuthToken {
token_type: string;
expires_in: number;
scope: string;
access_token: string;
refresh_token: string;
user_id: string;
foci: string;
}
The 'refresh_token' and the 'access_token' are the only two fields of note to this project.
returns an instance of the Xbox module or throws an error
Refreshes a user solely based on the refresh token of a set user's refresh_token. See the save function in the Xbox for more information.
returns an instance of the Xbox module or throws an error
Launches a pop-up window prompting the user to login to their Microsoft account.
type framework = "electron" | "nwjs" | "raw";
The supported frameworks are electron, nwjs and raw.
interface windowProperties {
width: number;
height: number;
/**Raw ignores this property!*/
resizable?: boolean;
/**Raw only: Stops MSMC from passing through the browser console log*/
suppress?: boolean;
[key: string]: any;
}
This is the properties msmc passes through to the function of a set framework that spawns a pop-up. For more information of which properties are available depending on your preferred GUI framework of choice. Click here for nwjs and here for electron. The raw framework only uses the properties "width","height" and "suppress"
returns an instance of the Xbox module or throws an error
WIP, not implemented yet
returns an instance of the Xbox module or throws an error
Event handler. Fires on a load event. Can be used for loading indicators similar to the update function in previous versions on msmc.
The same as the "on" function, but only fires once.
The second stage of the authentication phase. In this phase the user has been logged in with their Microsoft account, but they haven't been logged into Minecraft nor have they been authenticated to the degree needed to access social features yet. This being said, you now potentially have the ability to do both if you have made it this far.
Please see Auth module for more information on how to spawn this object
class Xbox {
readonly parent: Auth;
readonly msToken: msAuthToken;
readonly xblToken: xblAuthToken;
readonly exp: number;
xAuth(RelyingParty?: string): Promise<string>;
refresh(force?: boolean): Promise<this>;
getSocial(): Promise<Social>;
getMinecraft(): Promise<Minecraft>;
validate(): boolean;
save(): string;
}
parent: Auth;
The Auth object that was used to create this Xbox object.
interface msAuthToken {
token_type: string;
expires_in: number;
scope: string;
access_token: string;
refresh_token: string;
user_id: string;
foci: string;
}
msToken: msAuthToken;
This is the token that was generated when the user was logged into their Microsoft account.
interface xblAuthToken {
IssueInstant: string;
NotAfter: string;
Token: string;
DisplayClaims: {
xui: [
{
uhs: string;
},
];
};
}
xblToken: xblAuthToken;
This is the token that was generated when msmc authenticated against a user's microsoft account to gain Xbox live authentication access.
exp: number;
The time in milliseconds the provided tokens are valid till. If this date is surpassed it can be assumed the provided tokens need to be refreshed.
Retrieves the Auth header for a set replying party. In theory it could be expanded to be used with more services that work with Xbox live endpoints. Right now this is mainly an internal function that happens to be exposed
Refreshes the tokens of this Xbox object. This function should be called once per hour. This being said, msmc does check if the tokens need to be refreshed before refreshing them. The exception being when the "force" property is set to true. In that case it will force all tokens to be refreshed.
Gets an instance of the Social module. Can be used to implement friend lists.
Gets an instance of the Minecraft module. Can be used to obtain the needed information to launch Minecraft.
NB: There is an additional internal check that will be done to determine if a user got Minecraft Java edition via game pass. This is experimental at the moment so please report any issues you observe with this. It may also not function with older versions of the game just yet.
Checks if the internal tokens in this object are still valid and usable. If this returns false then it is a good idea to call the refresh function listed earlier (This also gets called by that function btw).
Returns a token that can be fed into a refresh function in an instance of the Auth module. Useful if you want to save the information needed to recreate a set Xbox object to file.
The module needed to obtain the information required to launch Minecraft.
Minecraft {
mcToken: string;
profile: mcProfile;
parent: Xbox;
xuid: string;
entitlements(): Promise<entitlements[]>;
isDemo(): boolean;
mclc(): mclcUser;
refresh(force?: boolean): Promise<this>;
validate(): boolean;
}
mcToken: string;
The Minecraft authentication token. This is needed to launch the game in online mode
interface mcProfile {
id: string;
name: string;
skins: Array<{
id: string;
state: "ACTIVE";
url: string;
variant: "SLIM" | "CLASSIC";
}>;
capes: Array<{
id: string;
state: "ACTIVE";
url: string;
alias: string;
}>;
demo?: boolean;
}
profile: mcProfile;
The raw Minecraft profile object. Do note that the skins and capes arrays may be empty. Generally this contains everything you need to launch Minecraft.
parent: Xbox;
The Xbox object that spawned this instance of the Minecraft module.
xuid: string;
The xuid of the Xbox user id of the logged in user.
Generates a list of mojang products/games a set user owns.
type entitlements =
| "game_minecraft"
| "game_minecraft_bedrock"
| "game_dungeons"
| "product_minecraft"
| "product_minecraft_bedrock"
| "product_dungeons";
Creates a Mincraft Launcher core user object. Usefull if you wish to use msmc with that library.
Refreshes the Minecraft and Xbox tokens. Like the refresh function in the Xbox module.
Like the Like the validate function in the Xbox module, but just for the Minecraft token. Which remains valid for 24 hours
The Social module is unique. Partly because it is expected to be ran server side in some settings. This is done to allow for features such as allowing you to create screens where players may be able to see which of their friends are online and such.
If you have deeper access to the game, such as in the scenario where your launcher is a front end for some type of custom client. Then I foresee the possibility of even implementing a kind of "click to join" function. In the end this is merely here to serve as a bases for something substantially more complex that is beyond the scope of msmc.
class Social {
Auth: string;
constructor(Auth: string);
getProfile(xuid?: string): Promise<XPlayer>;
getFriends(xuid?: string): Promise<XPlayer[]>;
xGet(endpoint: string, xuid?: string): Promise<any>;
}
class XPlayer {
Auth: Social;
score: number;
xuid: string;
gamerTag: string;
name: string;
profilePictureURL: string;
getFriends(): Promise<XPlayer[]>;
}
Auth=> The instance of the Social module that spawned this XPlayer object
score=> The user's player score....not sure what it does, but the endpoint provides it
xuid=>The Xbox user id of the player this instance of XPlayer represents.
gamerTag=>The gamer tag of the user this instance of XPlayer represents.
name=>The name of the user this instance of XPlayer represents.
profilePictureURL=>The profile picture url of the user this instance of XPlayer represents.
getFriends=>This function returns a list of XPlayer modules that represents everyone on a give user's friend list.
The Auth header is needed to use the underlying endpoints that make this function. To get this header, run xAuth function in the Xbox module. This header can potentially be sent as an authentication string for an endpoint of your launcher's back end server.
Gets the user profile of a given user. If the xuid field is missing it will return the profile of the user the Auth header belongs to.
Gets the friend list of a given user. If the xuid field is missing it will return the friend list of the user the Auth header belongs to.
The raw back end function used to obtain information related to a given user based on the xuid provided. If a xuid is not provided the information returned will instead be based on the profile the Auth header belongs to.
A collection of helper functions to aid in using msmc.
See our premade lexiPacks here and see the loadLexiPack function for more information on how to load it.
I've noticed that a fair amount of the people in the mcjs café discord tend to maintain launchers that by default aren't set to English. While older versions of msmc made efforts to address this. I'm happy to announce that we switched over to a solution that isn't just hacked onto existing code this time.
Introducing the lexicon property. By overriding this object with your own code you can effectively localize MSMC without essentially needing to hunt for every English piece of dialogue. Potential msmc language packs will only need to override this one property to translate the entirety of msmc's errors and load events to another language.
export let lexicon = {

A note on implementation. If msmc updates and a new event gets added, say load.auth.example.new
. If your translation supports load.auth.example
, msmc will proceed to use the translation text you provided for that code if load.auth.example.new
is not available. This is why load
and load.auth
still have translations provided even if they're not called directly by msmc. They're in essence fall backs.
Note: if you want to translate the read me into another language. Then hit me up on the discord!
function lst(lexcodes: lexcodes): any;
This function will translate lexcodes into readable text based on the lexicon object.
Loads a set lexiPack and returns it when it finishes loading it.
Usage:
import { assets } from "msmc";
assets.loadLexiPack(path, to, lexiPack, here);
Handling errors in msmc changed a little. Since we moved back to a throw on error model last seen when we moved to an async architecture. The issue of error typing has propped up again. If an msmc object throws an error. It will be in one of two formats.
interface response {
response: Response;
ts: lexcodes;
}
This is thrown when a fetch request errors out. The ts object will be the raw lexcode. The lst function can translate the lexcodes into readable text for you. The response object is the response from the fetch object that caused the exception
Otherwise only the raw lexcode will be thrown. You can use lst to translate if for you, but msmc already ships with a function to handle all this for you.
function wrapError(code: string | exptOpts | any): {
name: lexcodes;
opt?: {
response: Response;
};
message: any;
};
This function will take errors thrown by msmc and wrap them up for you. The message will be the translated cause of the error. The opt field will contain the response object if the error was caused by a fetch operation and the name is the standard lexcode if you want to do some processing based on the lexcode of the error.
Simply run in the root directory.
npm run build
At this stage I am assuming you have successfully started minecraft with a token that was created with MSMC, but doing a full login each time your launcher restarts is getting rather annoying. I am also assuming you have a secure way to store access tokens already.
The access token for minecraft will remain active for 24 hours after being created. I recommend reusing the same token if you have been given a valid access token in the last 16 hours. After this the token should be refreshed.
The first method I will show you is recommend if you are adding msmc to a new project. The later is what I recommend doing if you have an existing project with GML.
import {Auth, Minecraft,tokenUtils} from "msmc"; // The imports you will beed
const auth: Auth = new Auth("select_account"); // The auth object, if created with the same variables as inputs, can be treated as a singleton object.
let mc: Minecraft = .... // Some minecraft instance that you have gotten from a successful login instance
After authenticating the user, and the mc object being set, you should add code that looks a bit like this
const token = mc.getToken()
/*Feed this into some method you can use to save this as a json object.
*The vanilla launcher uses a plain json file in your .minecraft folder to store this
*Personally I recommend using something more secure
*/
saveTokenFunction(token);
Then on startup you can do something such as this
//The "getTokenFunction" is something you need to implement yourself.
const token = getTokenFunction();
mc = tokenUtils.fromToken(auth,token);
//forces the token to be refresh, set to false if you want to refresh the token only if it expired.
mc = mc.refresh(true);
After authenticating the user, and the mc object being set, but before you launch mc, you should add code that looks a bit like this.
//get a token with the required meta-data to make it refreshable.
const token = mc.mclc(true);
/*Feed this into some method you can use to save this as a json object.
*The vanilla launcher uses a plain json file in your .minecraft folder to store this
*Personally I recommend using something more secure
*/
saveTokenFunction(token);
//This function should be implemented by you.
launchMc(token);
Then on startup you can do something such as this
//The "getTokenFunction" is something you need to implement yourself.
const token = getTokenFunction();
mc = tokenUtils.fromMclcToken(auth,token);
//forces the token to be refresh, set to false if you want to refresh the token only if it expired.
mc = mc.refresh(true);
