Minecraft Launcher

Play Minecraft
your way.

Proxima Launcher is a free Minecraft launcher that makes managing the game simple. Install mods from CurseForge and Modrinth in one click, keep multiple game setups completely separate from each other, and play with any skin - even without a premium account.

Java installs itself automatically. Updates happen silently in the background. Log in with Microsoft or offline account and play.

Features

Everything you need.

Proxima handles the boring parts so you can focus on playing.

CurseForgeModrinth

Modpack & mods installer

Find and install mods without ever leaving the launcher. Search across CurseForge and Modrinth at the same time, pick what you want, and Proxima handles everything else - including dependencies you didn't know you needed.

Isolated instances

Each game profile lives in its own separate folder. Mods, worlds, and settings from one instance can't bleed into another.

Custom skins

Show up to every server with your own look. Skins and capes work even on offline mode and everyone with Proxima sees them.

Fast & Lightweight

< 30 MB

Opens in under a second and barely uses any memory while running. A fraction of the size of older launchers - your computer runs the game, not the launcher.

Java Installs itself

Different Minecraft versions need different Java versions. Proxima figures that out automatically and installs what's missing in the background.

Resource packs & shaders installer

Give Minecraft a fresh look in just a few clicks. Proxima lets you browse and install resource packs and shaders automatically, without downloading files manually or moving them between folders.

Compatibility

Works with all major loaders.

Switch between modding platforms per instance. Proxima installs the right version automatically.

Vanilla

Pure Minecraft, all versions are supported including snapshots.

Forge

The most popular mod platform. Tens of thousands of mods available.

Fabric

Lightweight and fast. The go-to for performance mods like Sodium.

NeoForge

A modern, actively maintained alternative to Forge. Fully compatible.
