EX Launcher
What EX Launcher is
EX Launcher is a Minecraft launcher for managing separate game instances, mods, and mod loaders. It supports Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt, and Vanilla, with a built-in modpack catalog and imports. Connections to Modrinth and CurseForge let users search for, install, and update mods, with automatic dependency checking. The launcher can manage Java versions, set RAM allocation and JVM arguments, and apply performance modes intended for less powerful computers. It also supports Minecraft Alpha, Beta, and other older releases. A built-in log analyzer helps identify errors and offers troubleshooting tips. The maker says the launcher is free, including for instance creation and mod installation. Its EULA says the app runs locally, keeps encrypted credentials on the device, and authenticates directly with the account provider. EX Launcher lists Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms, but the download section marks Windows as loading and macOS and Linux as coming soon. Listed minimum requirements include Windows 10, 4 GB RAM, 2 GB free storage, and Java 17 or later; macOS 11 and Ubuntu 20.04 are also listed.
