Meet the new Native launcher
A cleaner sidebar, Quick join on Home, a new Servers page and a News page. Here’s a tour of what changed.
The launcher you’ll get on launch day has had its biggest redesign yet. Everything is a click or two closer, and it gets out of your way so you can play.
A cleaner sidebar
The sidebar now has our own icon set and only the places you visit most: Home, Instances, Versions, Discover, Servers and News, then your Locker, the Store and Relay. Help (How to) moved to the ? button in the title bar, and settings and your account sit at the bottom.
Quick join on Home
At the top of Home you’ll find Quick join: a row of popular servers with their live player counts. Press one and Native launches your selected instance and joins the server straight away. If your instance is too old for that server, Native tells you first.
A new Servers page
The Servers page opens with a featured spotlight, then every server as a tile with its icon, description and live player count. Search by name, filter by category (Minigames, Survival, Skyblock, PvP and more), sort by players or ping, or switch to the ranked list view. Copy an IP or press Play to join.
News, inside the launcher
The new News page has our updates, events and drops, and a Minecraft tab with the official news from Mojang. Articles open right inside the launcher.
Signing in, redone
The sign-in screen is new too: sign in with Microsoft, with a Native account, or play offline, and switch between Sign in and Create account with one click.
Small things you’ll notice
- Ctrl + K searches everything: instances, friends, pages and settings.
- The crash helper reads your crash log and offers a fix, like more memory or the right Java.
- Your playtime, screenshots and worlds live with each instance.
