A simple, fast Minecraft launcher for managing modpacks with a streamlined feature set and minimalist UI. Created as an alternative launcher for users who prefer a lighter approach to modpack management. Currently hard locked to a singular Modrinth modpack (my own, Starlight), but future updates will add support for more packs from Modrinth or local mrpack files.
- Simple UI - clean dark interface, zero jargon
- Modrinth integration - search and install modpacks directly
- mrpack support - full Modrinth modpack format support
- Self-updates - updates Glowberry from the latest GitHub release
- Smart updates - one-click modpack updates that actually work
- File locks - protect your keybinds, settings, and configs from being overwritten during pack updates
- Cross-platform - macOS and Windows
- Lightweight - ~10MB binary, instant startup
Glowberry self-updates use Tauri's updater plugin, so release builds must be signed and the updater public key in src-tauri/tauri.conf.json must match the signing key used in GitHub Actions.
- Generate a signing key pair with
npm run tauri signer generate -- -w ~/.tauri/glowberry.key. - Copy the public key into src-tauri/tauri.conf.json.
- Add the private key contents to GitHub Secrets as
TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY. - If the key was created with a password, also add
TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD.
Glowberry's release workflow uploads latest.json and updater signatures automatically.
