The problem with manual distribution
Distributing mods manually to your players is a constant headache. You have to manage download links, verify every player has the right versions, and endlessly answer the same technical support questions.
Common problems
- Players downloading the wrong mod version
- Forgotten or duplicate mods
- Manual updates on every change
- Time-consuming technical support
The solution: a custom launcher
A custom launcher automates all of the distribution. Your players download a single .exe file, and the launcher handles the rest: downloading mods, checking versions, and automatic updates.
Key benefits
- Auto-update: mods update automatically on launch
- Global CDN: fast downloads from Cloudflare R2
- Branding: your logo, your colors, your visual identity
- Preconfigured server: the server IP is already in the list
Step by step
Here's how to distribute your mods with CraftLauncher in 4 simple steps.
Upload your mods
From the dashboard, drag and drop your .jar files or import a Modrinth modpack. CraftLauncher automatically hosts your files on Cloudflare R2.
Configure your launcher
Choose the mod loader (Forge/Fabric), the Minecraft version, and customize the look (logo, colors, background).
Build your installer
Click "Generate". CraftLauncher compiles a custom .exe installer. The build takes a few minutes.
Share it with your players
Grab the download link and share it on Discord, your website, or social media. Players just have to download and launch.
The real-world benefits
Time saved
Eliminate hours of technical support. Your players no longer need to configure anything.
Player experience
One click to play. The launcher manages mods, updates, and configuration automatically.
Professionalism
A custom launcher gives your server a serious image. Your players see your brand, not a Google Drive folder.
Simple updates
Add or remove a mod in the dashboard. The change propagates automatically to all your players.
