About Shard Launcher

Shard Launcher is a minimal, command-line-first launcher for Minecraft. It uses content-addressed storage to avoid keeping duplicate copies of mods and resource packs across different profiles, helping reduce repeated storage of the same content. Profiles let users maintain distinct game configurations, while content-addressed storage identifies files by their contents rather than only by their names. This makes it possible for profiles to reuse identical mods and resource packs instead of storing a separate duplicate for each configuration. The launcher emphasizes stability and reproducibility. Shard Launcher is intended for Minecraft users who manage multiple modded profiles and want a compact launcher with reduced duplication. Its command-line-first approach and content-based storage support a more controlled and repeatable setup.
