How do i make a custom launcher?

[dylan53]

Now i don't know if this is in the right place if it isn't please can someone move it too the right place.

i have been curious these last few days how the Technic platform has a different appearance than vanilla Minecraft. The whole of today i have been busy trying to change my appearance from boring old Minecraft appearance to a medieval theme. all i got was a different logo at the start up off the app and a different background that was explained in this video

not really like the Technic platform.

i am good at coding and i want to have different Minecraft appearance like Technic but medieval style. it would be great if i was given a video but a written method can be good too.

i would also like to add more options like downloadable jars for modpacks. thanks if you can help me :D

I would help you but I don't know java. I can help you with getting ideas though.

Clearly he doesnt need help like that as he already has a theme.

OP: Take a look at the launchers code. It's open source and I bet you can gleam some insight on how it works by taking a look at it. Don't reinvent the wheel, just modify it.

wheres the source code

wheres the source code

Honestly, I don't know. I do know it is out there I just never needed it myself. Best guess would be to hunt around the main page.

Do you know how to program?

[Maxis010]

Uh...you decompiled the source...

The source code is the code before it is compiled

[dylan53]

so what how do i edit the class files? and yes disconsented i do know how to program!

[Maxis010]

You claim to know how to program and show your ineptitude around basic terminology in the same post

Class Files are COMPILED

Source is NOT compiled, it is found in .java files, NOT .class files

I linked you to the source of the Technic Launcher, that source contains only .java files

I could continue this post to the point where it would single handedly devolve this thread into a pool of flaming hatred, but that would be bad

So in closing, please learn basic terminology so you don't make a complete fool out of yourself
