What it is

EX Launcher is a free Minecraft launcher for Windows, macOS, and Linux that manages separate instances, mod loaders, mods, Java versions, and runtime settings. It supports Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt, and Vanilla, and connects to Modrinth and CurseForge for searching, installing, and updating mods with automatic dependency checks. A built-in catalog handles modpack imports. Users can assign RAM, set JVM arguments, choose Java versions, and apply performance modes intended for less powerful computers. Older Minecraft releases, including Alpha and Beta, are supported. The launcher includes a log analyzer that identifies errors and offers troubleshooting suggestions. The maker says there is no charge for launcher use, instance creation, or mod installation. Its EULA says the app runs locally, stores credentials encrypted on the device, and authenticates directly with the account provider. Listed minimums include Windows 10, macOS 11, Ubuntu 20.04, 4 GB RAM, 2 GB storage, and Java 17 or later. Windows downloads are marked loading; macOS and Linux downloads are coming soon.
