World Launcher
by Neiron111
World Launcher, a Forge 1.12.2 game mechanics mod, lets players change the launcher window, the loading logo and the world load flow before a session starts.
What it does
The mod opens a range of options for customizing Minecraft maps and the startup experience. Its settings include changing the window title and icon, setting a custom loading logo, and choosing a world to load immediately after startup instead of stopping at the menu. Discord Rich Presence can also be customized.
Pausing the game can run a script in place of the usual pause menu, which makes custom user interfaces possible. A separate option hides spectators. The settings are reached by opening the settings menu and pressing 0 to select World Launcher. The mod is published for Forge and runs on client and server, so both sides need it. It is released under the MIT License. Its only listed version is 1.12.2, with the latest file 1.8 published on 2025-09-06. Forge is the required loader, and no other dependency is named.
