Fold Craft Launcher
What it is
Fold Craft Launcher runs Minecraft Java Edition on Android phones and tablets. It supports Minecraft releases and snapshots, with separate instances, a built-in modpack catalog, and import support for modpacks. The launcher works with Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt, LiteLoader, OptiFine, and Cleanroom, and includes Java 8, 17, 21, and 25 runtimes; users can also import a custom runtime. It manages mods, modpacks, resource packs, shaders, and saved worlds. Touchscreen controls and key mappings can be customized, and a virtual mouse is available. Shader use depends on compatible Android devices and renderers, while performance also varies with device hardware, renderer, shader, and game settings. Android 8.0 or newer is required. Minecraft account authentication is supported, and no separate FCL account is needed. The launcher is free and open source under GPL 3.0, but it is not distributed through Google Play; installation requires downloading its APK manually.
