Fabric Application Launcher

by syorito-hatsuki

Fabric Application Launcher puts an alternative Linux application launcher inside Minecraft, where players can search for and run applications from the game window.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.4

What it does

Players open the launcher from inside the game and type part of an application name to find it. Selecting a match runs that application on the Linux desktop, so a player can start a program without leaving the game window. The mod is built for Linux, and its feature set is limited to that search-and-run workflow.

Installation needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin on Fabric for 1.21.4, and the mod bundles Ducky Updater Lib and ModMenu Badges Lib inside its own files. It is client-side only, so the server does not need it and multiplayer players do not need it either. The current build is 2025.2.1 for 1.21.4, dated 2025-02-01, and the project was first published on 2025-01-15. The code is open source under the MIT License, with public source code and an issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Application search

    A search field inside the game lists applications matching the typed name.

  2. Run from the game window

    Selecting an entry starts the chosen application without switching out of Minecraft.

  3. Linux application launcher

    The launcher targets Linux desktops and reads applications that the system already provides.

  4. Bundled update checking

    Ducky Updater Lib is packed into the mod, so update checks run without a separate install.

Questions

Does Fabric Application Launcher need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, and Fabric Language Kotlin is required as well. Both must be installed next to the mod for 1.21.4.

Does the server need Fabric Application Launcher?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Which systems does Fabric Application Launcher support?

The mod is an alternative Linux application launcher, so it is built for Linux desktops rather than Windows or macOS.
