Make Minecraft feel like yours.

WIND Launcher is a free Minecraft launcher for Windows that you'll actually like opening. Install mods and modpacks in a click, play with friends without a server, or host your own when you need one.

Download for Windows

Free, no ads

Windows may show a SmartScreen warning on first install. That's normal for a new app. Why this happens

One app instead of five.

WIND started as a launcher. Now it's where you find mods, play with friends, run a server and design your skin.

Mods & modpacks

Search Modrinth and CurseForge in one place and install a mod or a whole modpack in a click. Play on Fabric, Forge or NeoForge, switch versions without starting over and share your packs with friends.
Friends, no server

Open your world and your friends join straight through WIND. The connection is peer-to-peer, so it feels like LAN across the internet. Chat, groups and invites live in the same menu.
Want a server anyway?

It's built in. Set up a Vanilla, Paper or modded server in the launcher and make it public with a WIND Tunnel or port forwarding. Plugins, mods and datapacks come from Modrinth.
Skins & capes

Look up any player and try on their skin, save favorites and switch capes with a live 3D preview. Or paint your own from scratch in the skin creator.
Packs & shaders

Manage resource packs and shaders inside the launcher, or get new ones from Modrinth. No more digging through folders for the right file.
Crashes, explained

The crash assistant reads your log, finds what actually went wrong and suggests a fix. Most of the time you click Apply and restart.

The docs cover every feature in detail.

The Minecraft title screen with WindUI: frosted-glass buttons for Singleplayer, Multiplayer and Realms over a blurred world

Title screen with WindUI · Minecraft 26.3 · 126 mods

Minecraft, behind frosted glass.

WindUI is our in-game UI and HUD mod. Menus, inventories and HUD modules get real frosted glass, soft blur and smooth animations, with the same backgrounds you know from the launcher.

It supports Vulkan natively, so it keeps working on Minecraft's new Vulkan renderer, and it runs alongside Sodium, Iris and VulkanMod. Your friends menu comes along into the game.

Fabric, from 1.21 up to the latest snapshots. NeoForge and 1.20.1 are on the way.
