This repository contains the source code for the ornithe installer targeting the official Minecraft launcher.
This needs to be written or link to a page somewhere on the site :)
This project is forked from QuiltMC, making a few cosmetic changes and adding support for the OrnitheMC meta endpoints.
The core of the installer is written in java, this was chosen for the moment due to swing having a wide range of support.
For Windows and macOS, there is a native launch facility in the native
subfolder which will display an error dialog if
the user does not have a suitable JRE installed. The native launch facility will be built into the corresponding .exe
and macOS application bundles.
For Linux there is currently no native solution as the native launch is intended only for Windows and macOS. Linux will receive a special launch process in the future which will be architecture and distro agnostic for publishing on package managers.
