Why do people still use the default Minecraft launcher?
I use it bc Curseforge uses it and I like getting my mod packs there.

I’m confused. What do you mean by Curseforge uses it?

I thought all modern launchers supported easily adding Forge, Curseforge mods and Curseforge modpacks, including Curseforge’s own launcher and Prism Launcher. Not hating on it, but I was genuinely confused to see the default Minecraft launcher was on Flathub, let alone popular. I haven’t heard of anybody using it in a long time, and I remember it not being as convenient for modding. Maybe that’s changed.

Then again, maybe I’m unaware of some special support Curseforge gives to the default launcher, and it’s fair if you prefer the default launcher’s way of doing things. We all have preferences after all.

Fair question.

When I’m using curseforge to play a mod pack, it literally loads up the Minecraft launcher. There might be a way to get around it but that’s what it does by default.
