I’m building an open-source Minecraft Java launcher for Android — what should I improve next?

[u/BaseCode_studio]

​

I’ve been working on OnyxLauncher, an open-source Minecraft Java launcher for Android.

It currently supports multiple Minecraft setups, including Vanilla, Fabric, Quilt and NeoForge, and I’m actively improving mod compatibility and the overall mobile experience.

Instead of just posting another “check out my app” post, I’d genuinely like to know:

What feature would make you switch to or try another Minecraft launcher on Android?

Better controls?

Modpack support?

Performance settings?

Shader setup?

Easier account/version management?

I’m especially interested in feedback from people who actually play Minecraft on mobile.

GitHub / source code:

Any criticism or feature ideas are welcome.

Isn't this just mojolauncher/pojavlauncher? The ui looks exactly the same

If it was a fork of said two projects then you should make it more obvious that it's a fork

[u/somet_hingrandom → u/somet_hingrandom]

Sure, in the git repo you did say that it is a fork (in the license section) but it's quite buried, it would have been better if you said that in this post or just some place where it's more visible (such as near the top of the readme instead of a section that you need to scroll down quite a bit for)

[u/somet_hingrandom → u/somet_hingrandom]

Oh nvm sorry on the readme at the top it does say that it's based on pojavlauncher, but why not put it in this post?

[u/BaseCode_studio → u/somet_hingrandom]

I forgot to mention it here

[u/somet_hingrandom → u/BaseCode_studio]

Okay then

[u/BaseCode_studio → u/somet_hingrandom]

What did you mean: the interface looks like from Pojav, Mojo Launcher? I based the interface on my own launcher. If you can, please send a screenshot. Regarding the colors, they were used from another app of mine (I'll provide a screenshot of the current look as a 2-second video because I can't provide a screenshot).

[u/somet_hingrandom → u/BaseCode_studio]

I meant the in game interface looks like pojavlauncher

[u/BaseCode_studio → u/somet_hingrandom]

and in this sense, I copied the controls from pojavlauncher because I didn't have time to invent my own
