Terms of use
By downloading and using WIND, you agree to the terms below. They're written in plain language on purpose, if something's unclear, reach out through the report page.
What WIND is
WIND is a free, all-in-one Minecraft launcher for Windows. It helps you manage mods, play with friends, host servers and launch Minecraft. WIND is not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft in any way.
Account requirements
You need a valid Microsoft account with a Minecraft license to play. That relationship is between you and Microsoft, governed by their own terms, not ours.
Using WIND
WIND is provided free of charge, without ads. Optional paid subscriptions and cosmetics are planned. They will never be required to use WIND's features, and separate terms will apply to them once they launch. You're free to use WIND for personal, non-commercial play. Don't use WIND to violate Mojang's or Microsoft's own terms of service, or to distribute malware, cheats, or anything that harms other players.
Mods and third-party content
Mods, modpacks, resource packs, shaders, plugins and datapacks installed through WIND come from third-party platforms like Modrinth and CurseForge. We don't write or review every project listed there, and we're not responsible for what individual mods or plugins do once installed. Use your own judgment before installing anything.
Hosting servers
When you host a server with WIND, you're the server owner: you accept the Minecraft EULA yourself and you're responsible for what happens on your server. Public addresses on play.windlauncher.com must not impersonate others or be used for anything illegal or harmful. We can remove an address or disable the tunnel for accounts that misuse it.
No warranty
WIND is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. We do our best to keep it stable and safe, but we can't guarantee it will always work perfectly, and we're not liable for any loss of data, worlds, or progress that results from using it.
Changes to WIND
Features can be added, changed or removed over time as the launcher develops. We'll try to communicate major changes, but WIND is actively developed and things will evolve.
Termination
We can restrict access to WIND's online features (like friends, presence or WIND Tunnel) for accounts that abuse them. The local launcher itself will keep working regardless.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
