Onyx Launcher is a free, open-source desktop Minecraft launcher for Windows and Linux. It manages separate instances, imports modpacks and supports Fabric, NeoForge, Forge, Quilt and Vanilla. A built-in Modrinth catalog lets users browse, install and update mods and modpacks, while automatic updates and Java runtime management are included. Onyx can detect, download and isolate Eclipse Temurin Java 8, 17 or 21 as needed. Diagnostic features measure in-game FPS, average frame times and stutters, analyze logs, track memory and garbage-collection pauses, and use Crash Bisect to look for conflicting mods through controlled launches. World Guard creates safety snapshots before risky operations and supports rollbacks. Ghost Mode unloads the launcher window, WebContents and GPU processes from memory when Minecraft starts. Microsoft sign-in uses OAuth Device Flow, and offline mode with custom skins is available. Windows builds are currently unsigned; published SHA-256 checksums can be checked. The MIT-licensed project says it is independent of Microsoft, Mojang Studios and Modrinth.
