Orbit Launcher Keeps Minecraft Modpacks in Orbit
An open-source Minecraft: Java Edition launcher for managing instances, mods, accounts, and self-hosted multiplayer servers.
Field notes
The launcher keeps each Minecraft setup in a separate instance, allowing players to clone or import configurations without mixing versions or mods. Its Modrinth workflow handles version selection, dependency resolution, and file-hash verification, while imports accept .mrpack, CurseForge files, and folders from other launchers. The page also lists five mod-loader families and Linux packages in AppImage, .deb, and .pacman formats. The project is Apache 2.0 licensed and exposes its source, releases, issues, and build instructions.
