Currently windows only, linux/mac coming soon.

Ignore the download from planetminecraft, forced me to have a zip without an exe. See below instead

What is it?

I built it initially as a command line tool to manage and launch multiple separate copies of Minecraft so I could mod them individually without affecting my vanilla world. Then I wanted a GUI so I built one, and came up with something super meta, a launcher to launch a launcher.

Its currently no where near v1.0 but its stable enough(I hope) and usable enough that I figured I'd get it out there. I call it v0.3.

Get It / DOWNLOAD

Note I don't have XP so anyone with XP want to let me know if it works(tested on 7)? It should.

Windows Installer: download from ad.fly :)
or direct link: download from mediafire :(

Linux/Mac: Coming soon (Its done, its just distributing it on this exposes the code, and its also a little harder, and it's pretty messy right now, so I'm currently refactoring and once the code is pretty I'll get these up. Don't want my name attached to gunk, yes this will be open source once I clean up the code, I'll also probly setup a github once that happens)

Usage

Currently there is a little bit of setup:

• First time opening go to settings and set at a minimum your minecraft launcher location. (e.g. 'C:UsersyouDesktopMinecraft.exe')
  
• You also will have to run this as administrator(right click>run as administrator) otherwise windows wont let Maltcraft start up the minecraft launcher.
  

Notes

This is the first release so I'll monitor this for a while and try to fix up reported issues in batches.

Contact

PMing me probly isnt the best idea, I created this account if people do happen to like this. So instead email: maltcraft@gmail.com

Known Issues

• Some XP users are un-able to use it. (This is an event issue, working on figuring this out)
  
• If you get a white screen then it crashes, it's most likely do to your graphics drivers not supporting OpenGL 2.0, most cards do, if this happens try updating your graphics drivers.
  

Planned Before 1.0

• Shared themes across the minecrafts
  
• Save sharing/copying across copies
  
• Some sort of mod facilitator(not sure what I'm going to do here yet)
  
• Importing of existing MineCraft copies outside of maltcraft
  

Let me know ideas, comments, suggestions.

Update 1 - 22nd September 2011

Just to let you guys know this is good and alive. It's not up fully yet but I've setup www.maltcraft.net and will post activity regarding MaltCraft there as well as here once I have it fully setup.

Mac/Linux users: I will be releasing these versions once I finish 0.5 which is nearing completion.
