Use THIS Minecraft Launcher!

What is the best minecraft launcher? These are the best Minecraft launchers for FPS and modding Minecraft!
I go through each launcher such as Minecraft, MultiMC, Curseforge/Overwolf, GDLauncher, PolyMC, Prism Launcher, and ATLauncher! We also mention clients like Lunar, Feather, and Labymod.

DO NOT USE POLYMC it has been compromised. I talk about it in the video but use Prism launcher instead!

This is a reupload with some edits which include additions such as clients and prism launcher.

If you are on Linux the ATLauncher is compatible. Works on Steam Deck as well!

sub -like ~scribe 🥺

Launchers:
Tied with PrismLauncher!

Tied with ATLauncher! Especially for low-end PCs

Good launcher but prefer poly and ATLauncher

Only recommended if you make your own modpacks

Very much so not good for modding and performance

You can use ATLauncher on Linux too!
Dont use PolyMC!!!! Use Prism Launcher instead!
With new PrismLauncher updates I recommend ATlauncher and Prism equally. use whatever you prefer. Prism may be better for lower end PCs.

Hey. I run ATLauncher (and have done for the past 10+ years now), thanks for the shoutout and kind words. It's been a wild ride and the amount of support and use it still gets to this day shocks me almost every week. I see some theme issues in the video with some of the miscoloured buttons I will fix up. But thanks for the words, I've tried my best to make the launcher as easy to use and support as many things as possible over the years, I'm just glad people still enjoy it.

After the Prism update, the mod downloading is much better, now all you have to do is press 2 buttons: First to download all of them and second to confirm they finished downloading. You don't have to move anything now and if multiple mod packs use the same mod files then you won't have to redownload them!

I used to use ATLauncher, it was the first 3rd party launcher i used. But i switched to multimc, then poly (before it was compromised), then prisim. The main reasons are the groups and being able to sort my instances easier. I used to use a bunch of the “#” symbol to determine whats on top with AT

[lewismassie]

In years past I used the TechnicLauncher.
When I got back into mods a few years ago I used the default launcher (that sucked but it was doable with only a few client mods)
When I wanted to play ATM7 I switched to using MultiMC.
Then when they removed the Curseforge interaction (and I couldn't update ATM7) I switched to PolyMC.
Then when that hit the fan (Prism hadn't been forked yet) I switched to GDLauncher.

MultiMC hasn't been "replaced" by Prism Launcher - Prism Launcher is just a fork to focus on adding more features.

As for PolyMC... please don't use that. I would agree that Prism _has_ replaced it.

i seriously can’t tell u how useful i’ve found this video and can’t thank u enough you’ve literally went over everything this deserves a sub eswel

[RiskoLohnicky]

I want a launcher that has the simplistic design of Prism Launcher and the functionality of ATLauncher. This would seriously be #1 Minecraft Launcher for everything.

[Notmetal.]

I installed tlauncher and I found a video that said I had spyware and I deleted it and that's why I watched this video to get another launcher

[OmarShtaiwi_]

Great video and presentation. My eyes always steer to other launcher than MultiMC, but I have installed Prism for the time.

[VerseArchiver]

Funny how the official minecraft launcher is also the worst one, i fell like usually its the opposite

[-Subnix-]

I never knew using different launchers could help my performance, always been using the mojang launchers

[orangemc]

You don't need overwolf to run Curseforge for WoW and MC. It's a bit difficult to find the standalone, but, it's right on the download page in an \/ arrow dropdown menu.

For those who dont know, prism launcher is developed by particularly haughty politically motivated devs using code forked from PolyMC.
So politically motivated, that when a legacy dev tried removing political slogans and messaging from the repo, the political devs branched off into PrismMC and started character assassination against the PolyMC dev with baseless claims about viruses in order to discredit him.
If you'd prefer a launcher which has a main focus on making minecraft launch rather than promote a political platform, PolyMC is your best bet.

[VentrixIMO]

I've been a MultiMC/PolyMC/Prism user for quite a while and I've found it really nice to use.
I have touched on ATLauncher when MultiMC had its Curseforge problems but I personally don't quite like the app's layout. :/

[okunamayanad]

poly mc is not compromised
actually, the freak who has the control over it show his real face and banned all moderators, contrubitors and also did some pretty weird stuff

it was so weird that people thought that it was compromised but no it wasnt
then the people got banned got together and build prismlauncher on top of polymcs sourcecode that they made.
after that, they added more things, polished things and here it is. (still being developed)


long story short:

dont use polymc
use prismlauncher

[masukugaming]

Thanks a lot bro

I was using for years the TLauncher until I noticed that it was a spyware(a bit late, but at least I deleted it, same with the spyware and some infected files), it was hard to me finding another good launcher without any malware

[edgelordtv]

For people curious the situation with PolyMC:
"Compromised" refers to the fact that the lead project coordinator has recently deleted some of the push requests off the project and other contributions related to the Code of Conduct and other code that has been uploaded by people in the LGTBQ+ community, as he is a staunch anti-acceptance supporter. The client itself does not do any harm, but a lot of people have migrated to Prism as a way to boycott the recent changes, and the rumors being malware have been a way to deter people from further using it. PolyMC is a fork of MultiMC, and Prism is a fork of PolyMC, so all the profiles created in one of these launchers should be fine to be exported and imported.

[Noah-qziw]

Very nice! Glad to see the client launchers on the list!

Before, I used to use TLauncher for Minecraft. Then, I understood that TLauncher sucks, and I needed another launcher. I started with MultiMC but it wasn't really good. Then I heard about Prism Launcher and now I always use Prism for Minecraft.
