## What it is
Fold Craft Launcher is an open-source Android launcher for Minecraft: Java Edition, built on HMCL core functionality and the PojavLauncher backend. It supports all Minecraft versions, major mod loaders (Forge, Fabric, NeoFabric, etc.), bundled Java runtimes, custom controls, and pluggable renderers.

## Use cases
- play Minecraft Java Edition on an Android phone or tablet
- install and run modded Minecraft with Forge or Fabric on mobile
- launch Minecraft snapshots and older versions on Android
- run modpacks and resource packs on a mobile device
- use a virtual mouse and custom key mapping for Minecraft on Android
- run Minecraft with shaders on Android via Zink or VirGL renderers

## When to choose
- you want to play or mod Minecraft Java Edition on an Android device
- you need multi-version support including snapshots and multiple Java runtimes
- you want a free, open-source alternative launcher with mod loader support on mobile

## When to avoid
- you want to launch Minecraft Bedrock Edition
- you need a launcher for desktop platforms like Windows, macOS, or Linux
