Releases: Kron4ek/minecraft-vortex-launcher
v1.1.19
Changelog
- Fixed client assets downloading
If you are using Linux and have a cropped window issue (like this), use the largewindow version of the launcher.
Note that new Minecraft versions require new Java versions (Java 16 for 1.17+; Java 17 for 1.18+), they don't work with older Java versions. In contrast, old Minecraft versions might not work with new Java versions.
The attached launcher binaries work on these operating systems:
- Windows 7 and newer Windows versions
- Linux distros with glibc (libc6) 2.27 and newer
Some web browsers and antiviruses detect malware in the launcher, these detections are false positives and you can just ignore them.
