 GDLauncher is a modern, simple, and powerful custom Minecraft launcher, that allows you to create and manage multiple separate instances of Minecraft without conflicts. The idea is similar to [[https://fabricmc.net/wiki/player:tutorials:install_multimc:windows|MultiMC]] but arguably has a more modern and user-friendly GUI, as well as being more beginner-friendly overall. Just like MultiMC, GDLauncher is open-source. GDLauncher is a modern, simple, and powerful custom Minecraft launcher, that allows you to create and manage multiple separate instances of Minecraft without conflicts.

 GDLauncher also has integration with CurseForge, which allows you to install mods directly from GDLauncher, without having to navigate to CurseForge and downloading the jar files. For some, this will be a very handy feature and worth switching to from MultiMC, and should help beginners find the correct version of the mods they are trying to install easier. GDLauncher also has integration with CurseForge, which allows you to install mods directly from GDLauncher, without having to navigate to CurseForge and downloading the jar files.

 On your first launch of GDLauncher, you may be greeted with a prompt asking you to set up Java. If you are a beginner and are eager to jump directly into Minecraft, it is recommend that you click on "Automatic setup", as you can always change it down the road. If you would like to mess around with Java a bit, then pick "Manual setup". Using the latest version of Java for Fabric doesn't hurt, and may improve performance in certain scenarios. On your first launch of GDLauncher, you may be greeted with a prompt asking you to set up Java.
