## What it is
XMCL is an open-source, cross-platform Minecraft launcher built with Electron, Vue, and TypeScript, offering a modern UI for managing game instances, mods, modpacks, resource packs, and shader packs. It integrates with Forge, Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, CurseForge, Modrinth, and FTB, and supports Microsoft and offline accounts.

## Use cases
- launch minecraft with forge or fabric
- manage mods across multiple minecraft instances
- browse and install modpacks from modrinth and curseforge
- keep modded minecraft setups organized and updated
- play minecraft with microsoft or offline accounts
- run a local minecraft server from an instance

## When to choose
- you play heavily modded Minecraft and need multi-loader, multi-instance management
- you want a modern GUI launcher with Modrinth/CurseForge integration
- you need a disk-efficient shared library for mods and resources

## When to avoid
- you only need a minimal vanilla launcher or command-line tool
- you require official launcher support or Bedrock-only workflows
- you run legacy Windows 7/8 without workarounds
