Features

Modpack Management

Penguin Launcher makes it easier to install and launch modpacks, while keeping them clean. You no longer need to manually install and update modpacks as Penguin Launcher can do this for you.

Mod Management

Sick of constantly finding and re-adding that one mod you need? Penguin Launcher interfaces directly with Modrinth and CurseForge, allowing you to update or install individual mods easily.

Instance Management

Penguin Launcher allows you to create and manage multiple instances of Minecraft, each with its own settings, mods, and configurations. This means you can easily switch between different setups without any issues.

Lightweight and Customizable

You don't need an embedded web browser as a game launcher. Penguin Launcher is built with the Qt toolkit, requiring very few system resources to run. It also lets you customize the menu and supports custom themes.
