Hello there!

The last feature update was quite a while ago, so we hope we can make up for it by delivering some highly requested features!
Some highlights include: an updater for Windows and Linux, CurseForge export, FTB App import, mod dependency resolution and NeoForge support.
Though there is a lot more, so feel free to check the changelog below.
This is probably the most feature-packed update so far, so there might be some rough edges that we hope to iron out over the next few updates.
At least those future updates should now be easier than ever to install!

We are also happy to announce that @getchoo @TheKodeToad and @Trial97 have joined Prism Launcher as maintainers.
As you are able to see in the changelog below, they all have been doing a lot of work improving Prism Launcher!
Of course we are always happy to see new contributors, so if you think you might be able to help, head over to our GitHub project and see if you might be able to help out.

Until next time!

Hello!

This is a smaller release, with mostly bug fixes. There are also some minor improvements, like an easier way to open the launcher's data directory, and allowing users to edit instance settings even while an instance is running.

There is also an important fix for the .mrpack export on Windows. Previously, the launcher would bundle all mods into the final modpack ZIP. Now the launcher will correctly bundle the metadata instead. This bug caused trouble at Modrinth as people started uploading these modpacks there. We are very sorry for this bug and hope to catch these kinds of issues through our testing initiative on our Discord server.

Until next time!

Hello!

It has been a while, but we are finally ready to ship version 7.0. This one comes with a lot of new features, although we sadly also have to say goodbye to some features, namely support for Feed-the-Beast modpacks.

Notable features in this release are advanced copy options, a downloader for resource packs, texturepacks and shaderpacks, a new improved progress dialog and support for exporting instances as Modrinth modpacks (.mrpack). This means that modpack authors can finally use Prism Launcher directly for making Modrinth modpacks.
On the other hand we had to remove support for Feed-the-Beast modpacks as requested by the FTB team. Though a FTB App importer might replace this missing feature in a future release. For more information, you can read our other blog post.
Finally, we want to remind users to be more cautious when downloading mods and modpacks as the fractureiser malware has been discovered. While both Modrinth and CurseForge have checked and removed the infected mods if necessary, stay on guard for external websites and for the possibility of future Minecraft malware.

We are also happy to have two new maintainers on board! @Ryex and @TayouVR will be helping out with the development of the launcher. We hope we can get more releases out the door with more hands helping out. Of course we are always happy to see new contributors, so if you think you might be able to help, head over to our GitHub project and see if you might be able to help out.

Until next time!

Hello!

Uh, wasn't there a release today already? Well yes there was. It's just that the last update added a new security check for instance components, which sadly made Prism Launcher think that Fabric and Quilt are invalid.
Note that this issue won't cause permanent damage, as that check is done on runtime and is purely for informational purposes.

Make sure to read the previous changelog here to see the other changes as well!
