What it is
GDLauncher is a Minecraft launcher for installing and managing separate game instances, each with its own mods and resource packs. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and is free to use, with no premium tier or overlay. Users can arrange instances in groups, duplicate them, import instances from other launchers, and share an instance setup—including custom configurations and mod changes—using a code. The launcher installs CurseForge and Modrinth modpacks and sets up the mod loader and Java. Supported loaders are Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt. GDLauncher can also create and manage Minecraft servers, with a live console, CPU and memory monitoring, player controls, and server mod installation. Documentation lists import and export support for several other launchers, but marks that feature as work in progress. Use requires a valid, fully paid Minecraft Java Edition account. The privacy statement says GDLauncher shares account email in hashed form with Overwolf for personalized advertising; users can opt out in the app's Privacy settings. The maker directs users to its Discord community, documentation, and troubleshooting guides for support.
