The Launcher
A dedicated desktop launcher for installing and updating the BOFCRAFT modpack. It is in development and there is no public download yet.
How it will work
-
Install and update the pack
The launcher is designed to install and update the BOFCRAFT modpack, keeping the required project files together.
-
Sign in with Microsoft
The planned sign-in flow uses Microsoft's authentication service in your browser. You should never send your Microsoft password or sign-in codes to BOFCRAFT.
-
Verify Java Edition access
The launcher is intended to require Microsoft authentication, Java Edition entitlement and a valid Java player profile before enabling gameplay. Live sign-in and gameplay checks must be completed before a public release.

Questions and answers
Can I download BOFCRAFT now?
No. Public downloads will be added after the launcher, release artifacts and distribution permissions have been reviewed. No old client archive is offered through this website.
Do I need Minecraft: Java Edition?
Yes. The intended public launcher will require Microsoft authentication, Java Edition entitlement and a valid Java profile before gameplay. Bedrock Edition alone does not meet that requirement.
Does this website need access to my Microsoft account?
No. This informational website has no sign-in or account-linking feature. The desktop launcher's browser authentication is separate.
How does the launcher handle a saved sign-in?
There is no public launcher release yet. The final saved-sign-in, storage and sign-out behavior will be documented and validated before downloads are enabled. This website does not receive or store launcher credentials. Read the launcher privacy section.
Is there a confirmed alpha date?
No. A public alpha depends on application approval, live authentication testing and overall release readiness. A confirmed date will be announced when available.
