That's the real interface. Drag the character.

Library

Mods without the mess.

Search Modrinth right inside the launcher and install mods, resource packs and shaders in one click. Required dependencies come along, packs and shaders switch on by themselves.

Change Minecraft version and your mods follow: updated when a build exists, set aside until one does.

Skin

Your character, front and center.

Your skin stands on the home screen in 3D. It breathes, and you can spin it around. Drop a new PNG on it to change it.

With a Microsoft account you see your real skin, and a new one is uploaded for you. Playing offline? IceCore shows your skin in-game with Fabric.

Settings

Tuned out of the box.

IceCore downloads the right Java for each version and starts the game with garbage-collector settings tuned for Minecraft, for fewer stutters.

Want more? Memory, window size, a server to join on launch, a folder per version. One gear icon, nothing hidden.
