Free to playWindows and macOSMinecraft 1.7.10 to 26.3
Catalyst is two things that work as one: a launcher that looks after Minecraft for you, and a client that makes the game itself better.
Profiles, memory, Java and mods - installed with everything they need, checked against your version, and kept up to date.
FPS, CPS, coordinates, a minimap, zoom, waypoints, projectile prediction and more - one Right Shift away.
Wings and capes from the store, the battle pass and daily rewards - shown in 3D on this site.
Coins, codes and a daily calendar - and a site where players design the capes everyone votes on.
Launch in one click, and see your play stats, the latest news and today's reward on the way. Stuck? Catalyst Bot answers right there.
Search Modrinth and CurseForge from inside the launcher. Every install is checked against your profile first and brings the mods it needs along with it.
Swap the game's hit and block sounds for your own .ogg files, or pick ready-made ones - and give the inventory a background.
Daily quests fill the bar - play an hour, play two sessions, open your daily card - and every level has something on the free lane or the pass.
Add friends by their Minecraft name, see who is in game and where, chat with them and press Join - in the launcher, and in game with O.
A name of your own, a five-character code drawn just for you and a badge in six shapes - then a clan chat, members and waypoints the whole clan shares on every server.
Buy on the store, then wear it from the launcher - your own skin turns in 3D wearing everything you own, a dragon on your shoulder included.
No extra downloads, no folders to find. What Catalyst does, as it does it today.
Search Modrinth and CurseForge without leaving the launcher. Every install is checked against your profile, brings the mods it needs and verifies each file. Installing from CurseForge comes next.
Go on, press Install.

An aurora, a nebula, a galaxy, End beams, caustics or a black hole - drawn by your graphics card, on your screen only.
A real shader pack, built into the client: shadows from the sun, volumetric clouds, reflections, natural colours and fog - smoke in the Nether, a black hole in the End. Scroll down and the line moves from Minecraft as it comes to Catalyst Shaders, or drag it yourself.
The Overworld at sunrise - real shadows, clouds you could fly through, light through the haze.
The Nether, full of smoke lit warm by the lava below.
The End - a black hole in a swirling vortex, white-hot against a black sky.

Two shots of the same moment in the same world. Drag the line: Minecraft as it comes on the left, Catalyst on the right. The minimap is Xaero's Minimap by xaero96 - his mod, installed from the Mods page in one click.
Get the launcher for Windows or macOS. It runs Catalyst on every Minecraft version from 1.7.10 to 26.3 for you.
On Microsoft's own page, with the account that owns Minecraft - how sign-in works.
Each version's Catalyst profile is ready from the start, with Sodium, Lithium, Dynamic FPS, FerriteCore, EntityCulling, ImmediatelyFast, MoreCulling, BadOptimizations, Iris where that version has them. Add more from the Mods page.
You play as yourself, online too. Your mods load, your modules wait behind Right Shift, and your cosmetics come with you.
Catalyst signs you in with Microsoft, the way Minecraft's own launcher does - Mojang reviewed the app and allowed it to on 28 September 2026. Sign in once, and the game starts as you.
Catalyst is not an official Minecraft product, and is not approved by or associated with Mojang or Microsoft. Being allowed to use Minecraft sign-in lets the launcher sign you in - nothing more.
You sign in on Microsoft's own page, and pick the account that owns Minecraft.
Your Microsoft account vouches for your Xbox profile - the one Minecraft knows you by.
Mojang checks that Catalyst is on its sign-in allow list, then hands back your Minecraft profile.
Press Play, and the game starts as you - your name, your skin, your servers.
Everything is optional, and everything is in the launcher. Here's what's in it.
