What is Shard Launcher?

Shard is a modern, open-source Minecraft launcher designed for players who want full control over their game. It features native integration with Modrinth and CurseForge for easy mod discovery and installation, support for Fabric, Forge, Quilt, and NeoForge mod loaders, and intelligent content deduplication to save disk space.

Key features include declarative profile management, a content-addressed store that prevents duplicate downloads, multi-account support with Microsoft authentication, and both CLI and desktop interfaces. Built with Rust and Tauri for performance and low resource usage.
