This is the source code of the unofficial Minecraft launcher, Redstone Launcher.

Redstone Launcher is an Electron-based application, meaning it runs on Node.js.

Running Locally

git clone https://github.com/tggamesyt/redstone-launcher.git
cd redstone-launcher
npm install
npm run app

Building the App

To build the application for your operating system, make sure you have cloned the repo and installed the dependencies (npm install), then run the appropriate build command:

Windows

npm run buildWin

Linux

npm run buildLinux

Linux .deb

redstone-launcher --no-sandbox

macOS

npm run buildMac

Building Linux from Windows

To build the Linux version from Windows using Docker, run the following command in PowerShell:

docker run --rm -ti -v "${PWD}:/project" -v "${PWD}/dist:/project/dist" electronuserland/builder:latest /bin/bash -c "npm install && npm run buildLinux"

Redstone Launcher - Linux Installation Guide (.deb)

Follow these instructions to install and run the launcher on Debian-based systems (Ubuntu, Debian, Kali) without errors.

1. Installation

Open your terminal in the folder where your .deb file is located and run:

sudo dpkg -i redstone-launcher.deb
sudo apt install -f

2. Fixing the "Sharp / libvips" Error

If the app fails to start with a "JavaScript error" related to the "sharp" module or "libvips", run these commands to link your system libraries: Bash

Install the required library

sudo apt update && sudo apt install libvips42 -y

Create a symlink to match the version expected by the launcher

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvips-cpp.so.42 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvips-cpp.so.8.17.3

3. How to Launch (Fixing Sandbox issues)

On Kali Linux, the launcher must be started with the --no-sandbox flag to work correctly: Bash

redstone-launcher --no-sandbox

4. Troubleshooting Login (Token Undefined)

If you can't log in to your Microsoft account: Install the gnome-keyring: bash sudo apt install gnome-keyring

Open the launcher, go to Settings, log out completely, and log back in.
