The Magic Launcher

This is just a easy tutorial to get you started with the Minecraft Magic Launcher.
Hope you find it helpful.
First you need the download.


If you want to see the Minecraft forum on Magic launcher then here is the link

When downloaded the "magiclauncher.exe" should appear in your download folder.

You just double click on the exe and a new window should appear.

Homepage

ml_screenpngLast but not Least

This is the magic launcher Home page.
There are several tabs at the top which have links and useful information about minecraft and what might be happening in the future.
The tabs consist of
  • Minecraft News
  • Reddit
  • Notch on Twitter
  • Jeb on Twitter
  • Dinnerbone on Twitter
  • The word of notch
  • Minecraft forums
  • Minecraft wiki

Setup

Setup is one of the buttons next to the login
This brings up a new window (Picture Below)
Magic_Launcher_Modspng
This is on of the more interesting features of Magic Launcher. This is because it allows you to use mods in minecraft without all the trouble of installing WinRaR and deleting folders and inserting mods..
With Magic Launcher all you have to do is download the mod and then click the add button on the Magic Launcher setup page and then find the mod in your files it couldn't be easier.
The only difficult part is finding the most up to date Forge Mod Loader required to play some of the cooler mods that are available.


If you want the website that this came from the link is below:
Setup Advanced
This is located next to the mods tab on the setup window
  • This allows you to chose what Java Runtime you want to use (e.g. older version of Java that works smoothly)
  • Chose the size window that will appear when you login and start up minecraft
  • Chose how much of you computers RAM or memory you want to allocate to minecraft

  • Finally chose what Base folder of minecraft to load.

Options

This option is located under the setup tab on the Magic Launcher homepage

optionspng
The options window shows what minecraft version you are running which is helpful to see if you need to upgrade you minecraft. There is also a force update button which automatically downloads the latest version of minecraft from Minecraft.net.

The snapshots button takes you to the folder that stores all of you in-game snapshots. This means you don't have go searching for the .minecraft file in the AppData. This is the easy access button to snapshots with out all of the hard work. If you want to know the location of the .minecraft folder then it should be in the options part of Magic Launcher next to the title location.

Finally the options window allows you to check if you have the latest version of Magic Launcher and if you don't it will either download it for you or open up a link to a website where you can download it.

Last but not Least
Login in with your minecraft premium account at the homepage screen of Magic launcher and it should start up minecraft automatically with all your mods working perfectly. (if you don't want to login at the homepage of Magic Launcher then you can just use the "Test" button on the setup window of Magic Launcher.

Hope you found this tutorial helpful.

do i need to have the .minecraft folder in the default location because i moved it and used the advance section to choose the base folder but when i deleted the .minecraft after copying it to a new location it wouldnt pick up forge so the mods could work so i needed to have both files. (the one in the appdata and the one i save the maps and texture packs to). this all might sound weird and confusing but i know what i'm talking about.

summery: so if i want to play minecraft on another computer using USB forge and the main versions dont pick up because technically the main default location isn't there.
