Downloads
SKCraft Launcher GitHub Repository.

The official wiki instructs users to download the source and build it locally: Windows users can run build.bat, Linux and macOS users can run ./build.sh, and ./gradlew clean build is also supported. Build outputs are placed under each subproject's build/libs/ directory.
