about

we all love TUIs. and we all know the official Minecraft launcher is not exactly a joy to use (performance wise; no hatespeech here). so here's rmcl, a fully featured Minecraft launcher that lives in your terminal. written in Rust because if you're replacing something bloated you might as well go all the way.

it does everything you'd expect from a launcher. multiple instances, mod loaders, modpack imports, Microsoft auth, content management, launching. all from a TUI or from the command line. the TUI is the main thing though, the CLI is there for scripting and automation.

where things live

config & data

settings, accounts, instances, and cached game metadata.

whatLinuxmacOSWindows
config (config.toml, theme.toml, accounts.json)~/.config/rmcl/~/Library/Application Support/rmcl/%APPDATA%\rmcl\
instances~/.local/share/rmcl/instances/~/Library/Application Support/rmcl/instances/%LOCALAPPDATA%\rmcl\instances\
metadata (versions, libraries, assets, loader profiles)~/.local/share/rmcl/meta/~/Library/Application Support/rmcl/meta/%LOCALAPPDATA%\rmcl\meta\

each instance has an instance.json for its config and a .minecraft/ directory with the actual game files. standard layout, nothing weird.

logs

launcher logs are per-session and contain rmcl's own output. instance launch logs capture game stdout/stderr per launch.

configuration

everything is configured through TOML files. config.toml for paths, default memory allocation, and UI behavior. theme.toml for theme selection and border style. you can also override individual colors without making a full custom theme.

themes

rmcl ships with 10 built-in themes:

catppuccin · dracula · nord · gruvbox · one-dark · solarized · tailwind · tokyo-night · rose-pine · terminal

you can create your own by dropping a TOML file in ~/.config/rmcl/theme/ and referencing it by name, or point to an absolute path.
