SalmonLauncher v1.0.3

A Minecraft Java Edition launcher built with WinUI 3 / Windows App SDK and .NET 10.

Changed in this release

  • Product name unified to SalmonLauncher (previously Salmon Launcher): window title, About page, legal texts, installer application name, install folder and Start menu shortcut now all use the no-space name
  • All source comments translated to English (C# and XAML), making the repository English-first; runtime localization keys stayed untouched, so Chinese / Traditional Chinese / Japanese UI is unaffected
  • README language switcher lists English first in README.md, README.zh-CN.md, README.zh-Hant.md and README.ja.md
  • Installer still ships a four-language setup wizard (Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese / English / Japanese)
  • Version bumped to 1.0.3

Features

  • Launching — instance picker, memory and window size, extra JVM arguments, one-click launch with live status
  • Installation — official Mojang manifest, Fabric / Quilt / Forge / NeoForge loaders, mirror fallback, resume, SHA-1 verification
  • Instances and mods — per-instance folders, mod toggling, local mod import, save backups
  • Content — Modrinth search for mods, shaders and resource packs
  • Multiplayer — self-hosted relay, LAN scanning, manual relay
  • Accounts — Microsoft sign-in (built-in browser / device code / system browser) and unlimited offline accounts
  • Diagnostics — reads latest.log, matches crash signatures and suggests fixes
  • Appearance — four UI languages, light and dark themes, custom accent colour, wallpapers

Requirements

  • Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041) or newer, or Windows 11; x64 only
  • Internet connection required on first launch; Java is downloaded on demand (Eclipse Temurin)

Download and install

Package File Notes
Installer (recommended) SL-Setup-1.0.3-win64.exe Four-language Windows setup wizard; Start menu shortcut and uninstall entry; per-user install without admin rights
Portable SL-1.0.3-portable-win64.zip Unzip and run; no registry writes

Both packages bundle the complete .NET 10 and Windows App SDK runtimes — no separate runtime installation is needed. The installer is unsigned, so SmartScreen may warn on first run. Uninstalling keeps instances and saves under %APPDATA%\SalmonLauncher.

Known limitations

  • Multiplayer public relay depends on an external server; this version ships local loopback signalling only
  • The installer is unsigned (no code-signing certificate)
