Note

This is a pre-release and is not meant for production use. Be aware of potential bugs and pitfalls. Reporting issues will be appreciated.

Warning

It's always recommended to back up your saves when using ANY unstable versions of ANY software.

It's getting around the corner! Although we still need time to reach the release objective, we're proud to announce that we've made Alicorn closer to our 2.0 milestone than ever before. Check out our latest progress:

Notable Changes

Customize Launch

It's now possible to append / overwrite JVM flags, executable path and game arguments for each game. Although we're confident with the performance of the default settings, we've made it possible to alter them as needed.

Reinstall Game

Alicorn tries its best to verify the files downloaded. However, it's not guaranteed that all games will be installed flawlessly in one run. If there's something wrong when launching, and you find you need a fresh copy of the game, this is the go-to feature.

Improved Container ID Generation

In previous versions Alicorn may generate container IDs whose referenced directory is not empty. This is now fixed: container generator will be aware of existing folders in the game directory. We've also updated the container IDs, making them look like MC-1, to distinguish them from game IDs.

Destroy Game

It's now possible to remove the game contents inside Alicorn. We've added multiple confirm dialogs to make sure that you don't accidentally remove your worlds.

Setup Wizard

Multiple setup pages are added and are configured to show on the first run. This will be useful to perform initial settings (some have already been added).

New Themes

We've added 3 new themes into the launcher, check out them at the settings page!

Fixes & Optimizations

  • Add transitions when switching between pages.
  • Adjust font family of the game logs.
  • Fix unreactive theme switch.
  • Add prompt message when the game list is empty.
  • Change global font family to Nunito.
  • Fix incorrect version detection in the update module.
  • Refactor multiple hooks for better reactive design.
  • Unused containers will be automatically removed when saving registries.
  • Complete English localization is now available.

To Upgrade

This release is fully compatible with v2.0.0-beta and all later versions. You'll likely to receive update notes the next time you start Alicorn and the auto update module should keep you on track.

About the Binaries

We're adding MSI installers for Windows builds. Like ever, these installers are not signed. Extra operations may be needed to trust and run them.

Whether or not you're using the unpacked version does not affect the behavior of Alicorn, i.e. your user data will be preserved between them.
