A Minecraft launcher that just works
Zip Client runs every version from the very first build to the newest release, ships the mod loaders you already use, and stays out of your way. One window, one button, no setup guides.
What's inside
Everything a launcher should do, and nothing it shouldn't
Every version, ever
From the earliest playable builds through every alpha, beta, release, snapshot and April Fools joke, right up to the latest release.
Mod loaders built in
Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Quilt and OptiFine install with one click. No manual jar wrangling, no wiki tabs open.
Settings that go deep
RAM allocation, JVM arguments, Java runtimes, window size, per-instance overrides and game directory control.
Works offline
Offline accounts and cached assets mean you can launch and play with no connection at all.
Separate instances
Keep a vanilla world, a modpack and a snapshot side by side. Nothing bleeds between them.
Light and quick
Cold start to in-game in seconds. Zip stays small, stays quiet and stays out of the way.
A skin editor, right in the launcher
Draw pixel by pixel, work in layers, pick from a palette and spin the 3D model to check your work from every angle. Apply it without ever opening a browser or uploading a file to a stranger's website.
- Live 3D preview with slim and classic arms
- Layer support for overlays and hats
- Import, export and swap between saved skins
Version coverage
The first version to the latest one, in the same dropdown
Zip pulls the full version manifest, so nothing is hidden behind a toggle or an advanced tab. Pick an era, pick a build, press play.
Mod loaders
The loaders people actually use, installed in one click
Lightweight, fast to update, huge mod ecosystem.
The classic. Runs the big long-running modpacks.
The modern Forge fork, kept current with new releases.
Fabric-compatible with extra loader features.
Shaders, resource packs and performance tuning.
Version matching is automatic — Zip only offers loaders that actually run on the build you picked.
Downloads aren't open yet
Zip Client is still in beta while we finish testing across versions and loaders. The download button unlocks the moment the first public build is signed and ready.
No release date announced
Questions
Frequently asked
Not yet. Zip is in beta and there is no public build available, which is why every download button on this page is disabled. Nothing is hidden behind a signup — when it is ready, the buttons simply turn on.
