About this product - MultiMC is a free, open-source launcher that allows you to manage multiple instances of Minecraft with ease. You are able to manage features such as mods, texture packs and saves of every instance with little to no problems at all.

  • The game window size is customizable
It keeps multiple Minecraft instances cleanly separated, each with its own mods, texture packs and saves.

MultiMC is an open source launcher that allows you to manage multiple instances of Minecraft for free. It is a powerful interface that lets you manage separate instances of Minecraft with their own mods, texture packs and saves. The reason why this is so useful is that you can keep several versions of Minecraft side by side with different mod setups, without them interfering with each other. MultiMC is also very lightweight, so it can run in the background and keep an eye on the game even on older machines. Its color-coded game logs help to diagnose problems.

One feature that is popular among players is the easy installation of mod loaders: Forge, Fabric, Quilt and LiteLoader are added with a few clicks. No more going through the backdoor (a zip tool) to patch the game files to get your Forge. MultiMC can also import modpacks from Modrinth, CurseForge, FTB, Technic and ATLauncher, and it runs old Minecraft versions the way they were released. It is a fully functional software that you can download for Windows, macOS and Linux. Java has to be installed separately, and the required Java version depends on the Minecraft version. If you switch the update channel to the development builds, be aware that although they may have extra features, they are not fully stable yet.
