How to create a Minecraft launcher for your server
You can create a launcher for your Minecraft server without programming: build a modpack, brand the launcher with your logo and colours, and download a ready .exe. Players run it and get the whole modpack, and later mod updates reach them automatically. No code and no VPS required.
There are two ways to create a Minecraft launcher for your server: write one yourself in C#, Java or Python — weeks of work and you need a developer — or build it with no code in a ready service in a few minutes. Below is the fast way: a branded .exe with your logo, colours and automatic modpack updates, without programming and without renting a VPS.

Step by step
- 1
Build the modpack
Pick a Minecraft version and loader (Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, Quilt), add mods from Modrinth/CurseForge or upload your own .jar files and configs — you can even import a whole modpack archive.
- 2
Add a server
Attach a connection address to the modpack. You can have several servers — all in one launcher.
- 3
Brand the launcher
Name, logo, background and project colours, premium templates. The output is a ready .exe under your brand.
- 4
Ship it to players
Download the .exe and hand it to players. After that just change the modpack — the launcher pulls the changes file-by-file on the next start, no full re-download.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to write code (C#, Java, Python) to create a launcher?
Not necessarily. You can write your own launcher from scratch in C#/.NET, Java or Python (e.g. with minecraft-launcher-lib) — but it's slow and needs development skills. If you own a server and just want the result, it's faster to build the launcher in a ready no-code service.
What are Minecraft launchers written in?
Usually C# (.NET) for Windows, sometimes Java or Python. That's the developer path. The alternative is a no-code builder like Spixy: you get a ready .exe without a single line of code.
How long does it take to create a launcher?
Writing and debugging your own launcher in code takes anywhere from days to weeks. In Spixy the first working launcher is built in about 5 minutes.
Do I need to know how to program?
No. Everything is done in the dashboard with the mouse: build the modpack, brand the launcher, download the .exe. No code.
Do I need my own server/VPS to distribute it?
No. Spixy stores and delivers the modpack and updates to players. You only need the game server where the game itself runs (any Minecraft hosting).
How do players get mod updates?
Over the air and file-by-file: change one mod and the player's launcher downloads only that file on the next start. No need to re-download the .exe.
How much does it cost?
There's a free plan forever: a launcher, 1 server, a modpack up to 200 MB. Pro unlocks up to 5 servers, a modpack up to 5 GB, your own website with a shop and player login via Discord.
