Numek Launcher
What Numek Launcher is
Numek Launcher is a free Windows application for organizing Minecraft instances and related files in one native, single-process program. It supports separate instances and loaders including Vanilla, Fabric, Quilt, Forge, NeoForge and Cleanroom for Minecraft 1.12.2. A combined search covers CurseForge and Modrinth for mods, modpacks, resource packs, data packs and shaders. The launcher downloads and selects the Java version needed by each Minecraft version. It can detect existing CurseForge instances and launch them without moving or copying files, while renaming and deleting those instances remain in CurseForge. Built-in tools include a file browser, NBT editor, integrated game logs and skin editor. Multiple Microsoft accounts are supported, along with an offline username for solo play. The launcher says it sends no usage statistics or machine identifier, encrypts Microsoft tokens through Windows, and checks downloads against catalogue hashes. Updates are checked at startup and every fifteen minutes, then applied after restarting.
