What it does

Everything you need, nothing you have to configure by hand.

Every one of these already works today - no roadmap items, no "coming soon" placeholders.

Instance Management

Every modpack and version, kept completely separate. Clone, duplicate, or import as many instances as you want - nothing ever bleeds into another.

  • Clone an instance to test a new version without losing the old one
  • Import a setup from other clients/launchers, or start fresh

Mod Management

Search, install, and update mods, resource packs, and shader packs from Modrinth without ever leaving the launcher.

  • Pick an exact version instead of always getting "latest"
  • Dependencies resolved automatically, files verified against Modrinth's hashes

Host Your Own Server

Play with your friends on your own server in minutes - no separate hosting provider, no VPS, no third-party tunnel tool to set up. It's all already built in.

  • A real, shareable join address in seconds - no router settings, ever
  • Export exactly the mods your friends need as one .zip

Every Major Mod Loader

Fabric, Quilt, Legacy Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge - all supported out of the box.

Import From Anywhere

Bring instances over from other clients/launchers, a .mrpack / CurseForge file, or almost any launcher's folder.

Multi-Account Support

Switch Microsoft accounts instantly, manage skins and capes with a real 3D preview.

Smart Crash Diagnostics

Low memory, wrong Java version, a missing mod - diagnosed and offered a fix.

Free & open source

Nothing hidden. Nothing to buy.

Orbit Launcher is licensed under Apache 2.0 - one of the most permissive open-source licenses there is. No telemetry you can't see, no premium tier, no catch.

Fully transparent

Every line of code is public on GitHub. See exactly what the launcher does before you ever run it.

Built with the community

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome - issues are tracked in the open, not in a black box.

Free, forever

Apache 2.0 means you can use, modify, and even redistribute it - no strings attached, now or later.
