Because of Qt bindings not being updated for 4 years and not working on Silicon macs, project is discontinued.

FireCraft

An open source Minecraft Launcher written in Go which uses Qt5 for GUI.

Supported operating systems

FireCraft currently supports Linux, macOS and Windows.

Versions that don't work

• anything newer than 1.19, including 1.19 (due to changed management over native libraries, working on that, please be patient)
