Suggestion

Add an UI to instance settings to launch to a specific world/server

Benefit

Modpacks, players who play on one server/world a lot

It already exists for servers.

the existing feature uses the old --server localhost --port 25565 format, which was removed in 23w14a, replaced with new args:
--quickPlaySingleplayer "New World"
--quickPlayMultiplayer "localhost:25565"
--quickPlayRealms "1234"

also I would like to see support for a command line argument to launch into a world/server/realm, not just an instance like at the moment

The system aroudn MinecraftServerTarget would need a rewrite.

Seems like to keep the server-joining functionality you'd just need to change https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/blob/develop/launcher/minecraft/MinecraftInstance.cpp#L567
Currently Minecraft does launch but ignores the old arguments
Completely ignored arguments: [--server, localhost, --port, 25565]

They also added a --quickPlayPath argument to log joined worlds / servers / realm to a specified JSON file. It would be nice to be able to enable a Quick Join option per-instance (or globally?) that would both enable the logging and change the Play button to a Quick Play button (only on 1.20+!), popping up a menu prompting for you to select a world / server / realm or just launch Minecraft normally. BTW, the logging also includes info on the world / server / realm name, game mode, and last played time, so here's what I'm thinking in terms of UI:

The Set Default option would turn off the Quick Play option and change the instance settings to just that quick play setting (unless Launch Normally is selected).

Also can this be a dropdown or something instead of a simple text box? Thanks

(removed some things because I was confused)

I suppose it could become a union.

Any updates on this one? As a workaround for now I modified my Minecraft instance's minecraftArguments in json, but that feels kinda janky and not right...

this might warrent its own issue request, but it would be good to just have a textbox to append minecraft arguments to the ones generated by prism in case a change like this happens in a future version

which file contained the minecraftArguments variable?

Edit the profile/instance→Version→Minecraft→Edit, near the end. For me, that's ~/.local/share/PrismLauncher/instances/[name]/patches/net.minecraft.json, line 450 out of 462.
