🚀 What is this project?
As a personal challenge, I’ve been building an open-source Minecraft launcher completely in Python. It uses PySide6 for the UI and public APIs for version handling and launching.
The goal was to create a modular, clean, and responsive launcher that could one day support both Vanilla and modded Minecraft.
🧰 Tech stack and features
- 🐍 Python 3.10+
- 🧩 PySide6 – custom widgets, light/dark themes, animations
- 🌐 minecraft-launcher-lib – handles authentication, version downloads, launching
- 🧵 QThread-based worker system – keeps UI responsive during background tasks
- ⚙️ Modular codebase:
core/,ui/,config/,utils/ - 🗃 Settings manager using JSON
- 🌍 Localization support (via
resources.py) - 💡 Custom download threads, UI state updates, error handling
🎯 Why I made this
I love Minecraft and Python, and I wanted to combine the two while also learning more about Qt, multithreading, and architecture. There are many launchers out there, but I wanted to build something from scratch to really understand how it all works.

It’s open-source and I’d love your feedback, ideas, or even small contributions!
