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.

it does everything you'd expect from a launcher.

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.

logs

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

performance

the following measurements were taken from a release build on a Linux development system. they are intended as a practical reference, since terminal, window size, content count, and hardware all affect the result.

idle instance list

over a 60 second sample, the instance list used 497.81 ms of CPU time. that is about 0.83% of one CPU core. resident memory was 15.1 MiB.

idle mods list

with a populated mods list and its icons loaded, a 60 second sample used 664.77 ms of CPU time. that is about 1.11% of one CPU core. resident memory was 67.2 MiB, with a peak of 69.9 MiB.

scrolling mods list

continuously scrolling through the populated mods list used 1000.02 ms of CPU time over 30 seconds. that is about 3.33% of one CPU core.

In comparison, the Modrinth AppImage used approximately 14-30% of a CPU core and about 327 Mib of memory while browsing the mod list.

themes

rmcl ships with 10 built-in themes:

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

pick one in ~/.config/rmcl/theme.toml:

theme = "gruvbox"
border_style = "rounded"   # rounded | plain | double | thick

custom themes

drop a TOML file in ~/.config/rmcl/theme/ and reference it by name, or point theme at an absolute path. keys are flat and top level, don't nest them under [theme]. only name, id and accent are required, the rest falls back to a default:

# ~/.config/rmcl/theme/my-theme.toml
name = "My Theme"
id = "my-theme"

accent = { Rgb = [249, 115, 22] }
accent_dim = "#7f5539"
text = "#cdd6f4"
text_dim = "DarkGray"
text_bright = "#ffffff"
success = "#a6e3a1"
error = "#f38ba8"
warning = "#f9e2af"
info = "#89dceb"
diff_added = "#a6e3a1"
diff_removed = "#f38ba8"
diff_context = "DarkGray"
border = "#585b70"
surface = "#313244"
background = "#1e1e2e"

then set theme = "my-theme" in theme.toml.

colors accept "#f97316", ANSI names ("Red", "LightBlue"), { Rgb = [r, g, b] } or { Indexed = n }.

note that [custom] in theme.toml is only for overriding single values of a builtin, it doesn't define a new theme. same for border_style, that one lives in theme.toml, not in a theme file.
