Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm asszxc, an independent developer and the creator of Skineva Launcher!
I've been working on Skineva because I wanted to create a Minecraft: Java Edition launcher that feels like a modern desktop application: fast, lightweight, customizable, and packed with useful features without unnecessary complexity.
Instead of relying on Electron, I decided to build Skineva using Rust + Tauri 2, focusing on performance, security, and a clean user experience.
🚀 What makes Skineva different?
⚡ Lightweight by design: A roughly 4 MB installer, low memory overhead, and native Windows integration.
🎮 Complete Minecraft management: Install releases, snapshots, Alpha/Beta versions, and use Fabric, Quilt, Forge, or NeoForge.
🧩 Built-in Modrinth integration: Discover and manage mods, shaders, resource packs, and modpacks directly from the launcher.
🎨 Extensive customization: Dark and light themes, accent colors, background effects, fonts, scaling, and more.
☁️ Skineva ID: A free account system with cloud-synced skins and capes.
🛠️ Smart installation management: Automatic Java downloads, separate game installations, integrity checks, and crash logs.
🔒 Privacy-focused: No advertisements or analytics trackers.
💡 What's next?
Skineva is currently at version 1.2.1, and development is ongoing.
I'm working on Microsoft account integration for the public release, a dedicated Skineva Appearance mod for HD skins and capes, and additional performance and customization improvements.
