Light on old PCs
Memory, Java and its flags are picked for your RAM, processor and mods. The game starts on the discrete graphics card, and the launcher stays out of the way while you play.
Early development · first release soon
Selene Launcher
A fast, good-looking launcher for Minecraft: Java Edition. Mods and modpacks in a click, careful with old PCs, and free of ads and tracking.
There is no release yet. Test builds are on GitHub.
Why Selene
You need a Minecraft: Java Edition license to play: you sign in with your Microsoft account. There is no cracked mode.
Works when sites are down
If Mojang, a loader site, Modrinth or CurseForge cannot be reached, files come from official mirrors and then public ones, always checked against the official checksums.
Mods in a click
Modrinth and CurseForge in one catalog, dependencies added for you, and updates that keep the add-ons you put in yourself.
Private
No servers of its own, no analytics and no ads. Your sign-in stays in the system credential store and only goes to Microsoft and Mojang.

Download
Official builds come only from this site and the project's GitHub. Copies from other sites are not ours and may be changed.
Windows
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. The installer adds Microsoft Edge WebView2 if it is missing and updates itself. The portable version keeps all its data in its own folder.
Linux
64-bit, with WebKitGTK 4.1. The Linux builds are new and do not update themselves yet.
You need a Microsoft account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition. Java is downloaded by the launcher. The Windows installer is not signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn about it.
Your data stays yours
The launcher collects nothing and has no servers of its own. The privacy policy lists every service it talks to and why.
