v1.0.0-beta.6

What's New

Import instances from other launchers

You can now import Minecraft instances straight from Prism Launcher, MultiMC, or the CurseForge app — no need to rebuild them from scratch.

• Auto-detects the launcher when you pick the instance folder.
• Brings over your mods, configs, resource packs, and world saves.
• Prism/MultiMC minecraft/ layout and CurseForge overrides/ are mapped to Aether's structure automatically.
• Import runs with a live progress bar and skips launcher-managed files (binaries, libraries) so Aether re-downloads them cleanly on Install.
• Version and mod loader (Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Quilt) are detected from each launcher's metadata.
• Naming collisions are resolved automatically, and the import no longer chokes on symlinks.

Reliable self-updates on Linux

• AppImage users now download the correct AppImage artifact (previously the updater swapped in the wrong archive and broke the app).
• Updates verify the payload before swapping and apply atomically on Unix — no more ".old" gap.

Clearer errors + retries for flaky networks

• Transient network failures during mod-loader installs (e.g. "Temporary failure in name resolution") now retry automatically.
• Error messages for mod-loader issues no longer show raw GoError noise and point you to checking your connection.

Minecraft service connectivity status

• The launcher now pings Mojang + registry services and shows a status indicator in the sidebar.
• Home and the Create Instance screen warn you when you're offline before you try to install, so you don't hit confusing install errors.
