Numek LauncherOne window, reproduced as it is. Scroll and it follows.
01
Your instances are laid out as tiles, ready to launch. CurseForge's are detected on first launch and appear beside them, without moving or copying anything.
02
The launcher downloads and installs the chosen loader: no separate installer to run.
03
Mods, modpacks, resource packs, data packs and shaders, searched across both catalogues at once.
04
Mods, worlds, logs and settings: everything about an instance is handled from its page.
05
Create a Minecraft server, start it in one click and share the address: your friends join you from anywhere. Mods, worlds, backups and players are managed from its page.
06
Browse, rename, move, compress, extract — and open the game's data files.
07
Pencil, eraser, paint bucket, colour picker, line, rectangle and ellipse, on the 3D model or on the flat texture.
The small chores of modded Minecraft, handled by the launcher.
CurseForge's folder is detected on first launch: its instances appear and start without copying anything.
Each Minecraft version gets the Java it asks for, downloaded and set up by the launcher.
A CurseForge or Modrinth modpack becomes an instance, game version and loader included.
The built-in playit.gg tunnel gives the server a public address, with no port to open on your router.
level.dat, player data, inventories: edited in a readable tree, with search.
Checked on startup, downloaded in the background — only the difference — and applied on the next restart.
Free, no account required, no advertising.
macOS and Linux builds are planned. Token encryption will need adapting there; that work is not done yet.
The installer is not signed with a commercial certificate, so SmartScreen will report “Windows protected your PC”. Select “More info”, then “Run anyway”. This warning disappears as the download count grows.
The rest is on the Questions page, or on Discord.
Numek Launcher is a free Minecraft launcher for Windows that manages your instances, mods, resource packs, shaders and skins from a single application. It runs as one process, shows no advertising, and searches for mods across both the CurseForge and Modrinth catalogues at once.
Yes. Numek Launcher is free, ad-free, requires no account and has no paid tier. The site generates no revenue and the launcher offers no purchases.
In a paired reading — both applications open on the instances list, on the same machine and at the same moment — Numek Launcher occupied 10 MB of memory and the CurseForge process group 1.9 GB. At rest, Numek Launcher holds about 10 MB, and 10 to 45 MB in use depending on the instance on screen; CurseForge settles between 400 and 600 MB at rest. The Windows task manager screenshots and the exact conditions of the reading are published on numek.fr.
Numek Launcher is a native single-process application with no embedded browser, where CurseForge starts seven to fifteen processes. A few seconds after opening, Numek Launcher hands back to the system the memory pages its startup called for and no longer uses, instead of waiting for Windows to reclaim them. It does so again when its window steps aside during a game, so that memory goes to Minecraft instead.
Numek Launcher supports six loaders: Vanilla, Fabric, Quilt, Forge, NeoForge and Cleanroom, the last one for Minecraft 1.12.2. The chosen loader is downloaded and installed by the launcher, with no separate installer to run.
