Planet Launcher

A better, maintained launcher for the Minecraft: Pi Edition Reborn mod.

Report Bug | Request Feature

Planet is a maintained, feature-rich and a flexible launcher. It is supported everywhere: Just install PyQt5, Python, and MCPi, and you're done! Planet was created because none of the other launchers were universal, stable, maintained and feature-rich.

gMCPIL vs jMCPIL vs pipan vs Planet

Conclusion

• Use Planet if you want a maintained and a feature-rich launcher.
• Use gMCPIL if you are on Debian Bullseye, using a DEB install OR want a basic experience
• Use jMCPIL if you're using a DEB install on a distro other than Debian Bullseye
• Use the built-in launcher if you like to fill in things constantly
• Don't use pipan, it's a dirty prototype, not a working launcher

Roadmap
