2.3.0

This update of the launcher helps to reduce the friction of new users running into issues with windows settings, as well as better handling for when downloading and unzipping fails. There is no "new" features compared to v2.2.0, so its not completely necessary to update if that version is working for you

This version of the launcher fixes the launcher from silently failing and trying to continue onwards even if a previous step has failed! This also adds some more readable error messages. Errors will be displayed on screen and easily visible, and not as hidden in console

Amethyst Launcher v2.1.2

This version of the amethyst launcher is required for any mods made with amethyst after, or including version 1.2.0.

There are a few major changes:

• the launcher is only needed to setup the game, now you can start Minecraft completely normally.
• amethyst now is ran much earlier in the game, and therefore we can hook things significantly earlier
• the launcher now installs it's own versions and registers them
• you can now create profiles which can have individual game versions, runtimes and mods

Why do my mods not show up from earlier versions?

This version of the launcher uses an entirely new injection method, so any mods need to be made specifically for that. Mods are also required now to have a mod.json file at their root, which help provide some metadata to amethyst launcher.

For basic mods, all this requires is an empty json file {} like this.
