Your entire setup, connected

Looks different.
Feels like yours.

Less jumping between folders and menus. More time building the Minecraft setup you actually want.

Find it. Install it. Play.

Browse mods, shaders, and resource packs inside the launcher. Choose your instance and install compatible content without moving files around yourself.

Keep your people close.

Add friends with verified Microsoft Minecraft accounts. See their presence, send requests, and chat without leaving Crux.

A badge that means something.

See Crux badges in profiles and your friends list. Supported in-game nametags show only your highest-value badge, not a row of every role.

Set it up before you boot.

Toggle client modules from the launcher and arrange your HUD in its preview. Save your layout before opening Minecraft — no game boot just to change your setup.

A launcher worth opening.

Black-glass panels, clean icons, and a focused layout. Quick Play, instances, friends, and HUD controls feel like one client, not a pile of separate tools.

Your versions, kept organized.

Keep worlds, settings, and installed content in separate instances. Choose a version, shape your setup, and launch when you’re ready.
