MCLC is a NodeJS solution for launching modded and vanilla Minecraft without having to download and format everything yourself. Basically a core for your Electron or script based launchers.

Getting support

Since people seem to use this, I've created a Discord server for anyone who needs to get in contact with me or get help! https://discord.gg/8uYVbXP

Installing

npm i minecraft-launcher-core

Standard Example

const launcher = require('minecraft-launcher-core');

launcher.authenticator.getAuth("email", "password").then(auth => {
    // Save the auth to a file so it can be used later on!
    launcher.core({
        authorization: auth,
        clientPackage: null,
        forge: null,
        root: "C:/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/.mc",
        os: "windows",
        version: {
            number: "1.13.2",
            type: "release" 
        },
        memory: {
            max: "3000",
            min: "1000"
        }
    });
});
