First run setup
- If no Java path is configured, the relauncher downloads Java for your OS/architecture and config javaVersion.
- A progress dialog shows the download status and then the archive is extracted automatically.
- The latest Cleanroom Loader release is selected automatically (no manual selection needed).
Configuration
- File: config/relauncher.json
- Key options:
- javaVersion: desired major version (e.g., 21, 24). Changing this triggers an automatic re-download and switch.
- javaExecutablePath: set if you want to force a specific Java. If it’s not valid or mismatched with javaVersion, the relauncher will auto-download the correct one.
Cache locations
- Java is cached under: <UserHome>/.cleanroom/relauncher/java/<distribution>-<version>-<os>-<arch>
- Example: ~/.cleanroom/relauncher/java/temurin-21-windows-x64
- Example: ~/.cleanroom/relauncher/java/graalvm-22-linux-x64
- Example: ~/.cleanroom/relauncher/java/graalvm-24-mac-aarch64
It offers a GUI on the client for manual configuration when the autoconfiguration fails.
Cleanroom Loader is a new loader developed from the roots of Forge Mod Loader for Minecraft 1.12.2 specifically. It boasts better performance, modern Java support, and offers better experiences for mod developers.
