Tip Run Minecraft WITHOUT a launcher! There are several ways to install a skin.

Hi all. Since when I was looking for information myself I suffered a lot, here I want to tell everyone who needs it how it’s done.
To launch Minecraft you need to create a special launch command. The command changes from version to version.
In order for the batch file to work correctly, some conditions must be met:
1) All paths in the batch file must be absolute, the files and folders to which they lead must exist.
2) All paths in the batch file must be enclosed in double quotes (“path”), otherwise they may not work if there are spaces.
3) It is advisable that there are no spaces in the names of files and folders in the client.
4) There should be no line breaks in the launch command (enter-s in simple terms), the entire command should be one whole line.

For example, my client was located in the folder C:\1\Hyperion\, so you will have your own, so all the paths will change.
I got the following batch file for version 1.6.4 (For clarity, I divided the entire launch command with enters, but there shouldn’t be any inside the batch file):

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_45\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx512M -Djava.library.path="C:\1\Hyperion\versions\ForgeOptiFine_1.6.4\natives" -cp "C: \1\Hyperion\libraries\optifine\OptiFine\1.6.4_HD_U_D1\OptiFine-1.6.4_HD_U_D1.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\fyberoptic\forgefix\1.6.4\forgefix-1.6.4.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\net\minecraftforge\minecraftforge\9.11.1.965\minecraftforge-9.11.1.965.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\net\minecraft\launchwrapper\1.8\launchwrapper-1.8.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\org\ow2\asm\asm-all\4.1\asm-all-4.1.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\org\scala-lang\scala-library\2.10.2\scala-library-2.10.2.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\org\scala-lang\scala-compiler\2.10.2\scala-compiler-2.10.2.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\lzma\lzma\0.0.1\lzma-0.0.1.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\net\sf\jopt-simple\jopt-simple\4.5\jopt-simple-4.5.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\com\paulscode\codecjorbis\20101023\codecjorbis-20101023.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\com\paulscode\codecwav\20101023\codecwav-20101023.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\com\paulscode\libraryjavasound\20101123\libraryjavasound-20101123.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\com\paulscode\librarylwjglopenal\20100824\librarylwjglopenal-20100824.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\com\paulscode\soundsystem\20120107\soundsystem-20120107.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\argo\argo\2.25_fixed\argo-2.25_fixed.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\org\bouncycastle\bcprov-jdk15on\1.47\bcprov-jdk15on-1.47.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\com\google\guava\guava\14.0\guava-14.0.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\org\apache\commons\commons-lang3\3.1\commons-lang3-3.1.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\commons-io\commons-io\2.4\commons-io-2.4.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\net\java\jinput\jinput\2.0.5\jinput-2.0.5.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\net\java\jutils\jutils\1.0.0\jutils-1.0.0.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\com\google\code\gson\gson\2.2.2\gson-2.2.2.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\org\lwjgl\lwjgl\lwjgl\2.9.0\lwjgl-2.9.0.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\libraries\org\lwjgl\lwjgl\lwjgl_util\2.9.0\lwjgl_util-2.9.0.jar"; "C:\1\Hyperion\versions\ForgeOptiFine_1.6.4\ForgeOptiFine_1.6.4.jar" -Dfml.ignoreInvalidMinecraftCertificates=true -Dfml.ignorePatchDiscrepancies=true -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:-UseAdaptiveSizePolicy -Xm n128M net .minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch --username ReaktivGirl --session null --version ForgeOptiFine_1.6.4 --gameDir "C:\1\Hyperion" --assetsDir "C:\1\Hyperion\assets\virtual\legacy" -- tweakClass cpw.mods.fml.common.launcher.

For those who want to make their own launcher, I’ll tell you how I do it.
For writing, I use Delphi 7 because I don’t know how to use anything else.
There are several ways to run third-party files in Delphi:

1) Using the WinExec operator

WinExec(PAnsiChar("command"), SW_SHOWNORMAL);

This method refused to work for me. I assume that PAnsiChar() is simply not capable of passing such a long string

2) Using the ShellExecute operator

ShellExecute(0,"open","command",nil,nil,sw_hide);

For me, this method said that the command was too long and refused to work.

3) Due to the problems in the first two methods, I decided to use the third method: Collect a launch command, put it in a batch file, launch the batch file from Delphi.
Here are the key pieces of code:

Memo1.Text:=le0; //Push the received full team start in memo memo1.Lines.SaveToFile("start.bat"); //Save everything that is in the memo into a text (bat) file, and don’t ask why from the memo - because it’s clearer this way ShellExecute(0,"open","start.bat",nil,nil,sw_hide); //Launch the resulting batch file in hidden mode (sw_hide - hidden, for debugging use sw_show - show) sleep(1000); //Wait a second for the batch file to complete DeleteFile("start.bat"); //Delete the damn body file so that cunning users don’t launch it later without us

Here's the source:

If anyone needs the client itself for testing, I can send it personally; I think it’s irrational to attach it here.

ZY For example, the most convenient way is to steal a working launch command from someone else’s launcher. For example, TLauncher helped me; in its settings there is a checkbox “Show full launch command”, thanks to which you can dig out this command from the console later. Special thanks to the creators of TLauncher. If anyone offers a better option for launching from Delphi 7, I will be very happy. Just please provide examples, otherwise bare words are of little use. It would also be nice if someone smart would describe for non-shared people how authorization works.

Do your launchers have batch files for launching?

TL Launcher is free program to download and run Minecraft. First, you need to download the Minecraft launcher from the links below. There are two versions available to choose from, one for Windows and the other universal for any operating systems. After downloading, run the program and create a profile, you can use an official account with licenses or enter only your nickname. If you chose the second, then it is called local account, the only drawback is that you will not be able to play on servers where you need licensed version games. Then select the version and click the start button, after downloading the client from the servers, the game will start. Have a nice game!

That is, you can immediately start installing mods and textures. Another big plus is the absence of annoying advertising and all functionality is completely free. Just download TL Launcher and you can start playing right away. Initially this program was called differently, but due to problems with naming rights it was renamed TL. But the design remains the same, and the capabilities and functionality have only become better.

How to install TL Launcher

1. Install Java (if you don't have it installed)
2. Download and launch the Minecraft launcher

After version 1.6, the developers introduced a new official launcher, which put an end to pirates, but we will save you by posting an excellent alternative.

Therefore, you should pay attention to this Launcher for Minecraft.

Questions and answers about the Launcher (FAQ):

Question: Are there viruses in the launcher?
Answer: Naturally not! We are a reputable site that is trusted by many users. All antivirus programs consider this file to be safe, so there should be no reason to worry. To make sure of this, you can look at the antivirus report.

Question: The launcher/game worked before, but now it doesn’t, what should I do?
Answer: Try to completely delete the minecraft folder, just before that save your worlds from the saves folder (The full path to the game folder is c:\Users\UserNAME\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\), then you need to re-install download TLauncher follow the links above and now try to launch the game/launcher.

Question: I downloaded and tried to run the program, but some error related to Java was displayed, what should I do?
Answer: Apparently you don’t have the latest version or it’s not the latest version, you can download it from our website or from.

Question: I don’t have any versions in the list - “not installed”, the news is not loading, how can I fix it?:

Answer: You are not connected to the Internet or your antivirus and firewall are blocking the connection. Therefore, add the launcher to your antivirus and firewall exceptions. P.S. Didn't help? Try downloading the launcher from the link at the beginning of the news, you never know.

Question: Which versions of Minecraft are present in this launcher?
Answer: It has absolutely everything, from the oldest to the latest versions (Like the new one). And also there is Forge 1.14.4, Optifine 1.14.4, Forge 1.13.2, OptiFine 1.13.2, OptiFine 1.13.1, OptiFine 1.13, OptiFine 1.12, Forge 1.12, OptiFine 1.11, Forge 1.11, OptiFine 1.10.2, Forge 1.10.2, OptiFine 1.9, Forge 1.9, OptiFine 1.8.9, Forge 1.8.9, Forge 1.8, OptiFine 1.8, Forge 1.7.10, OptiFine 1.7.10, Forge 1.5.2, OptiFine 1.5.2 and others...

Question: How is this launcher different from the same one? TLauncher Legacy?
Answer: Completely to everyone, from appearance(which is more pleasant), to interesting functionality: a mod-pack system (installing mods, maps in one click), a skin system with support for cloaks and HD! There are smaller advantages, such as the game news area, where you can quickly learn the latest innovations. Fast technical support on various issues and much more.

Question: Or maybe MLauncher better?
Answer: This is fundamentally wrong, because you can call it stripped down, which only has a list of servers. TL also has this plus - its own list of Minecraft servers, as well as all the other advantages described in the news that are not implemented in the launcher. In addition, the lack of introduction of new functions negatively affects the gameplay of players.

Question: Which latest version of TLauncher?
Answer: At the moment the latest stable version is TLauncher 2.68.

You can find solutions to other problems on a special page: .

Description:

The developers proudly declare that it is the easiest to use, you can see this by reading short review by launcher.

Looking at the screenshot at the beginning of the article, you see that most of the launcher is occupied by a web page on which latest news versions of the game, and sometimes the portal itself. Therefore, you will always see that a new version has been released, and you will also be able to read what has changed in it, so you will not need to look for this information on the Internet.

On home page In the lower left corner of the launcher there is a field for entering your nickname, which will be used in the online game.

Under this line there is another drop-down list, in it you can find the versions of the game, usually the latest version, or the one you launched last time.

Having selected a version that you have not downloaded, you will be prompted to install it by clicking on the "Install" button (Since this Minecraft pirate launcher, it will install the game for free):

By default, in minecraft launcher You don’t need to change anything in the settings, but if you want, you can see what’s there:

In addition, with the major update 2.0, TLauncher now has its own skin system, so now you don’t have to use third-party ones. And this gives more advantages - stability and more goodies. To install, you need to register on the TLauncher website, install the skin and log in to the launcher itself. Then select the version with the TL icon and run it. You can read a more detailed one; on our website, in a separate article, everything is sorted out.

In the new major update 2.4, the developers pleased us with their own system for installing mods in one click. A TL MODS button has appeared in the lower right corner of the launcher, by clicking on which you can open a page with the catalog and management of the new system.

All new system tied to a mod pack (assemblies with mods). The first tab is called mod packs, in it you can find various assemblies on different topics: military, fantasy, technical and others. The catalog is quite large, you can select a category for quick search.

By clicking on the mod pack you are interested in, it will open full description. Where can you find brief information about the essence of the assembly, as well as picture tabs; versions; fashion; resource packs; cards. To start playing on it, just click on “Install” and it will appear in the list of versions, launch it and you’re done!

Naturally, through this system you can create your own mod pack, filling it with various mods, maps and resource packs. The system helps the user with various problems and in particular thinks about mod compatibility for him. In addition, there is a backup and manual installation system. Really worthy update!
