WIND
A Minecraft launcher that gets out of your way.
WIND is a free Minecraft launcher and client built for speed. Mods install themselves, you can join a friend's world without hosting anything, and turning on Performance adds a set of optimization mods automatically. It's also home to WindUI, our in-game overlay.
Windows might show a SmartScreen warning on first install, that's normal for a new app and not a sign of malware. Why this happens.
WIND, a Free Minecraft Launcher and Client for Windows
WIND is a modern Minecraft launcher for players who want a faster, cleaner alternative to the default launcher or tools like Lunar Client, Badlion Client and Feather Client. It bundles a Modrinth mod browser, optional performance mods, a built-in friends list and an automatic crash assistant into one download.
Download WIND for free and get set up in minutes: pick your modpack, invite your friends and jump into Minecraft on Windows without any extra configuration.
Everything a launcher should do, finally in one place.
WIND was built by someone tired of juggling five different tools just to play modded Minecraft with friends. So it does the boring parts for you.
Every mod, one browser
Search Modrinth right from the launcher and add mods in a click. Turn your finds into modpacks you can tweak and share, and switch Minecraft versions without starting over. Flip on Performance and a set of optimization mods gets added for you.
Play together, no server in the way
The friends list lives in the launcher itself, so you can see who's online without opening anything else. Join a friend's world directly, nothing gets uploaded or hosted in between, it works like a LAN game without needing the same network.
When something breaks, it explains itself
The crash assistant reads through your log, works out what actually went wrong and suggests a fix. Most of the time, all that's left to do is click Apply and restart.
Try tomorrow's Minecraft today
The latest snapshot is one click away, right inside the launcher. No separate install, no manual profile setup, just keep in mind mods won't come along until the snapshot settles.
Skins, sorted
Upload your own skin, try on ones other players are wearing, or manage your capes, all with a live preview as you go. No more digging through folders to find the right file.
Free, and staying that way
No subscriptions, no premium tier, no ads anywhere in the launcher. WIND is free now and it stays free, that's not changing.
A different sky, every time you open it.
WIND's background changes on its own between winter forests, galaxies and whatever else we add, so opening the launcher never feels stale. Prefer something steady? Lock in your own image or pick from your favorites.
It's a small thing, but it's the kind of small thing that makes a launcher feel like yours instead of a tool you tolerate.
