Agora Minecraft Mod Launcher
What it is
Agora Minecraft Mod Launcher is a free, community-curated launcher for Minecraft on Linux, macOS and Windows. It keeps Minecraft instances separate from the user’s existing installation and can resolve dependency-aware installation plans. Through its command-line interface, it can install supported local packs or Modrinth pack URLs. Before launch, Agora checks instance health and creates recovery points ahead of risky changes. Its community-curated catalog currently contains seven items. Community members can vote in the app using GitHub sign-in or on GitHub, with both routes contributing to the same score. The project documents Modrinth for mod discovery and files, GitHub for catalog updates and governance, and Microsoft authentication for online identity. Agora says it makes no automated telemetry calls, while enabled features make network requests to function. Advanced-mode users can disable endpoint groups, and Lockdown Mode blocks all outbound feature requests in the backend. Offline readiness depends on each instance: missing game files, loaders, runtimes or mods cannot be fetched offline or when relevant endpoint permissions are disabled. Agora is open source and ad-free, with built-in guides and public documentation.
