What is Forge ModLauncher ?

Forge ModLauncher, and the 'Launcher' artifact in the download page are two different things.

ModLauncher is the bootstrap tool that allows us to edit the vanilla classes during startup, it's the replacement for LegacyWrapper that we have been developing for quite some time.

It is a more standardized API that was developed from the last 8 years of experience in the Minecraft community, as well as focusing on future java developments.

The old one was not compatible with Java 9+, This one is, minus some technical issues that are on hold until Mojang updates their bundled Java version.

 

The 'Launcher' download on our page, is Forge's utilization of that system. It is very important that Pre-ModLauncher code does not interfere with post ModLauncher code. So they are shipped as separate assets.

 

All you, as the end user need to know about, is the Installer.

Just run the installer, for the client use Mojang's launcher. For the server, run our launcher.jar.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.
