If Minecraft produces tons of logs, Alicorn will occupy a lot of memory, and only the next time the game starts will it release the memory.
If Minecraft crashes and triggers the crash analyzer with tons of logs, Alicorn may crash too.

Problem recurrence

In vanilla game, you can set up a command block with execute as @e run say eeeeeee(so many e) to quickly encounter this problem
In normal game plays, lots of chat or mod logs may cause the same problem, like a long-time game playing in a modded server

In a recent research, we found out that 'skin upload' has been requested several times.
We are putting this at a high priority and will implement this feature soon.

Premium account first, then Authlib Injector.

We are sad to inform our users that the former API will stop serving soon, and there's no way we can prevent that. We can't simply use e.preventDefault() :(

But this has to be. That's the way I play my cards. We'll get this. (...somehow...?)

I'll be grateful if anypony can give me a hoof!

DnD update will fail on Windows beacuse some renaming problem, we're on this.

After I load a world containing mods with a mojang core and lost all my precious items, I decided to add this utility.

Backup is just like snapshot, we backup files only modified. When space not enough, we'll compress and remove the earliest one.

As Microsoft announced, Mojang account support will be dropped before long.
This will be removed from Alicorn after Microsoft officially closed the authenticate service.

Nothing stays the same for long
But when it change it doesn't mean it's gone

You can still use Yggdrasil with custom auth server, by entering the mojang server host.

1.The initialization process failed to close the launcher
2.The upper right corner of the Java selection window still allows you to re-enter this page
3.Translation should be more in line with the actual usage habits, but not use some proper nouns used by developers.Such as using “存储位置” not “容器”.(I may use a pull request later to modify the translation)
4.The directory selection box shall allow direct editing.
5.Almost all animations in windows are lagging.
6.GC1 and GC2 shall not be allowed to be repeated, otherwise it may be unable to start
7.InstallForge and InstallFabric maybe can be merged into one button
8.Optifine version not recognized

A user reported that if yggdrasil account is chosen, sometimes the continue button will be disabled.

Problem recurrence

Add a yg account and try to launch

Due to the changes of some class files, in 1.18, we should launch game with Java 17, but not 16.

Change default install JDK version to 17, and upgrade auto select module.

I can stress on the importance of this issue!

Ref: https://www.mcbbs.net/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=1249960&pid=24662111

As user suggested.

For Fabric, the only thing important is to download the profile.
There is no need to run the installer.

(So only Forge needs, well, the world seems better now. Maybe we might use Quilt to proxy Forge mods, maybe.)

got has offered us amazing api which helped us a lot during development.
However, now that Alicorn starts to bring more features, got, though easy to use, sometimes doesn't have the best performance, especially dealing with proxy or agent. (More may because I just created a new agent for each request.)

Considering this, we decided to remove got from Alicorn and use a combination of simple-get, node-keepalive-proxy-agent, etc.

This feature is considered as performance improving, so we shall release it in our next Alicorn Release, that is AppleSauce, I suppose, though we might change it in the last minute ;)

Config lost has been losing for a while, and we haven't figured out what caused this. For me, it happens occasionally when changing themes.

Some users have report that update may also cause this, but none of them can tell what had happened before that.

We're focusing on this. If anypony has an idea about why this is so, please do tell me!

Quilt is a fork of fabric that supports most Fabric mods. Some mod authors also left the Fabric community, making their mods only support Quilt. Quilt maintains a good relationship with the Forge community, enabling some Forge mods to support Quilt. Patchwork is working on getting Forge Mod to run on Quilt. Finally, MultiMC already supports Quilt.

We've received some reports showing that login with MS account might fail.

As the reports said, users encountered "wrong password" hint, which is not true. They cannot reset their password or send email to verify themselves' identity. But the thing is, their login seems fine in other launchers or in browser!

After a quick going through our code, I guess there might be something related with cookies or network (more possibly). I just can't think of any other causes, since Alicorn is exactly a Chromium browser!

We're not giving up, we will resolve this.
...somehow... :(

What Happened:

ModX doesn't seem to exclude other versions of sodium, that caused my Minecraft 1.18.2 and 1.19 crash.

I downloaded the mod from PFF, but the mod list exclusions on both sides show inconsistently

What to Expect

the imcompactable version is not loaded, and the game should launch fine.

When trying to get the installer, Alicorn will ignore the branch so she(?) can't get installer correctly:

Install Minecraft Forge for Minecraft 1.8.9 or below

We've received a lot requests for OptiFine automatic installation. And we decide to add it to Alicorn in our next release.

Support OptiFabric is also essential. However, support "pure" OptiFine installation isn't easy, since OptiFine has no CLI, we'll probably refine HarmonyForgeInstallerCLI... So please help me!

We really wish that UPX can reduce the size of Alicorn. However, 3.96 cannot.

We shall try each version (including devel), until we find one that fit Electron... Or fail every test.

Good luck to me!

Build a CurseForge modpack or Common modpack (aka. MCBBS modpack) is easy... in writing JSON file, meanwhile, Alicorn has to resolve mods. The easiest way is "pack from container" since we have pff.lock to resolve mods.

Install.json, though not published yet, should be supported to, it "fake" itself as a core and instruct launcher to download mods, etc. And maybe we need a convert method.

This utility sure should work together with pff.

Due to the differences between dev and prod env, some styles refuse to work :(
It seems that emotion styles always override jss styles, which shouldn't have happened.

We're fixing this.

As there are many pre-processing components, Alicorn is not so stable when launching some cores.
We can't just simply remove things like ReadyBoom, for they are awesome!

All that we need to do is provide a checkbox and let user to choose whether to make a secure launch. (Like the 'fix' mode in other launchers, but much more smart)

Due to (maybe) a symlink problem on Windows, beacon cannot be placed, we're solving this problem.

Can not import MMC format modpack

Problem recurrence

The issue was found in this pack:
GT New Horizons

Allow using pff to search for mods, like display them, etc.

Also, pff should be able to resolve resourcepacks, modpacks, etc.

We've noticed that Forge installation, especially for some latest versions, can be very slow due to the behavior of the installer.

It seems that the installer will remove the mappings and download again, which is strange.

Although we normally don't need to include a launcher in the modpack, sometimes we will. As it is, we have to admit that Alicorn is too large. But, but, that is not a reason why we give up on it.

Remember AlicornWrapper? That's it! By using a small bootstrap, we can include it in the pack. All that program needs to do is find and call Alicorn, or download one if it can't find any.

I suggest that golang might be suitable for this. Who knows?

And besides, the best way still is making Electron smaller. About this, I highly disagree with a few Electron developers.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "that's the expected size"?

Highlight logs in CrashReportsDisplay.

This feature is essential for users to see errors, etc.

As Alicorn found out that many mods cannot be found on CurseForge, but on Modrinth instead, we've noticed that the requirement of Modrinth mods install is increasing.

Though, add support for Modrinth isn't easy, probably we need to rewrite the virtual layer and add a new adaptor.

If anypony can offer us some help, we will be very grateful!

For many users, they don't care about what JVM they use, instead, they just want to start the game immediately.

So... we can add an optn to select built-in jvm... This should be enabled if no JDK was found.

(Is this too twilight? I guess not. 30% of crashes are related with JDK version, etc.)

It's reported that 1.7.10 with Forge failed to launch, but no logs were present, we're figuring out why.

As we all known, options.txt cannot be auto transformed by Minecraft. Even if it could be, conflicts often happen.

We'll solve this with our Alicorn Magic~ Just wait and see!

Besides, tomorrow night is Christmas Eve. Have a rest, everypony! We've came a long way!

We've received reports from users says that sometimes timeout won't interrupt.

We will fix this soon.

Can't destroy the core after the fifth(the original position that haven't sorted by frequency)
The core list will refresh brfore destroy. Because cores are loaded five by five, the cores after the fifth won't be found instantly so Alicorn thinks the core was destroyed.(So she will fresh the core list again),making confirm window only flash by.

In addition,clicking the destroy will clear the statistic of the core, even if you cancel it

May caused by a9fa312

Problem recurrence

Create a container with more than five cores
(PS.Only need more than five cores, even if they come from different containers)
destroy a core after the fifth

As Alicorn ToGo is available, we will pack it in the modpacks, but if the pack itself is smaller than Alicorn ToGo(~8M), we shall exclude it.

The requirements of mods will push packs fwd rapidly, we must seize this chance.
