[1]: Updates to the modpack within the same Minecraft version are automatic. The modpack cannot be updated automatically across Minecraft versions.

[2]: These launchers support the modpack and its mods by increasing their download count, but not with monetary benefits.

Why try a new launcher?

The default Minecraft launcher is very basic, and it lacks many features that improve usability with mods. For example, a third-party launcher can easily download and update the modpack, add and remove mods with a few simple clicks. Many can even manage resource packs, datapacks and shaders!

All launchers in the "supported" list are safe to use, have been thoroughly tested and are fully supported by Fabulously Optimized.
