I don't use Windows, on my end (I use Linux as my daily driver) when I install a Minecraft launcher (e.g Prism), java gets autimatically installed from the offical repositories. On Windows though I would I have install java 8 and 17 manually for most third party launchers except the offical one which has it bundled. Edit: I actually had same problem when using the offical Minecraft launcher on Windows, I tried to install forge, but java wasn't installed, my fix was to execute it via CMD, in the directory where Minecraft installs java.

Well, unfortunately an English video won't explain much to Russian children using the fake TLauncher. There have been some Russian videos on that topic though. The whole TLauncher ordeal is a dumpster fire.

5:15 Idk, im unsure since I'm still a student at Technology Information, but just seeing the code, its normal for an app to create an instance of information such as Gpu, OS, ram, and etc. Since every application has a requirements of information to run.. Like gta 5: needs to be run at this ram, gpu etc. 5:15 Also that kind of code, we use it as well in Java app development, website, and c# frameworks, Where in we would get the information if the device can carry the app and soon connect it to our data base (we use mysql).. What i agree was the 5:19 where in cmd.exe or different .exe file, which is sus, since why does it need an .exe files. 5:22, what i think of it is that , that code will be directed at logs contains information, where what server u join, what mods u use, chat in the server, ping, connection, time and etc. ** which funfact developers/mod in cracked server uses logs, if a particularly player uses hacks such an xray( u can see it in ur folders) where in devs or mods will request to send player logs in discord or smth. To see information if the user loaded a hack**. Now the links in 4:20 that code only leads to automatic JDK/JRE download, but the JRE itself is kinda sus cuz i already have 4 versions of java's JRE yet im still required to download just to play tlauncher..idk anything about their website download but its bit sus since im still required to download. JRE: is a environment programmer use to code/ program such , phyton, java and other languages. Tho AGAIN I'm STILL a STUDENT in IT and CIS, and yes I have installed Tlauncher for 4 years, and explored the files in tlaunched(u can use notepad++, or sublime text), so i can't say if it's good or bad. But so far nothing happened to my files, projects and other programming languages /apps i use. So it's only sus to me. AGAIN IM JUST SHARING OF WHAT I KNOW, IM STILL AN IMATURE STUDENT XD, SO THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION.

It's just sad when you see people from your country saying something like "God's with us" or "America's trying to ruin Russia" in defence of cracked minecraft launcher

The fact that you have to pay 20 dollars for premium but you can just buy Minecraft

I think an ingenious strategy to catch the TLauncher team with very solid proof is by running TLauncher in a virtual machine, then force freezing the Virtual Machine, and then dumping all processes to a file, and then also dumping all of TLauncher's contents onto that file or a separate file, and then finding solid proof to show TLauncher's dark secrets. And by doing this on a live stream, this will definitely get TLauncher out of the way, and TLauncher could also possibly be sued for false DMCA takedowns and privacy and malware stuff.

The new launcher for the java edition that replaced the 1.6 launcher of the game downloads its own version of Java. The reason for it boils down to oracle tightening security on newer releases of the JVM. This means the fix mojang had introduced to allow versions that predate release 1.6 to run in other directories broke when running on a version of Java newer than 8. Forge also breaks when running on newer versions of Java. This being said, Mojang hosts downloads for Java. There is no reason to host your own versions of Java.

Okay, but is there a way to clean up the computers of those who picked up TLauncher? Asking because I shared my laptop with my brother once with a TLauncher installed and I would not like viruses or spywares to remain in my system. Preferably, no hard reset of course unless it is very much necessary.

I personally mostly used the original t launcher and i was shocked to see my friends had different kinds of t launcher. When ever i switched PC's i used a pendrive to get the launcher and never thought of installing a new one and i can say that the original was simpler and thus trustworthy.

Certified bruh moment for TLauncher 💀

will they do things like information selling? if they will are there ways to avoid getting our information sold instead without formatting our pc?

You should also do videos about other cracked minecraft launchers such as sklauncher and multimc.

There are still some people in this comment section that insist TLauncher is safe, which just goes to show how much of an influence it has. This is a serious problem with free software, especially in the minecraft community. People will go out of their way to download sketchy software, and then are surprised when the sketchy software is malicous. This series on TLauncher is really well put together and I hope to see more deep dives like this in the future.

Reminds me of Activision-Blizzard doing an "internal investigation" of themselves about the SA issues and said they found nothing wrong

I still remember the real author of the launcher - turikhay. Back then, when I returned to Minecraft after dropping it in 2015 or so, I figured the TLauncher at that moment looked a bit too "polished" or commercialised. Eventually, my suspicions have all been arriving at a well disguised conspiracy turikhay has gone through. Since then, been using the OG TLauncher from turikhay that looked as (to its own benefit at this point) bland and simple as before. Though a bit of digging the entire internet to find just his version was needed to play Minecraft on any of my closest people's machines.

Most people don't understand one single thing: good virus is a sneaky one, you won't be able to find it unless you're specifically trying to do so. If they haven't found a virus in there, it doesn't mean that there're no viruses. 2000 rubles (that is how much minecraft costs in Russia) just seems too much for a game for most people. I've personally seen just two pirated minecraft launchers. One of them is TLauncher. The other one is TL (older version of TLauncher, as far as I know), which I've discovered by buying a disk containing a pirated version of the game (I haven't realised that it was pirated until that shop got permanently closed for legal reasons (yeah, you could buy a disk with a pirated game in Russia, that's a long story though)). Just two, and both of them were made by the same team. That's how popular TLauncher in Russia is.

If the comment is left in a place that you moderate you can just delete it without any problems (Like deleting a message in your own discord server if im to make this comparion)

Using Notch as a legal justification is also doubly funny considering he has literally nothing to do with the game now. His word today on the topic means nothing let alone his word 10 years ago.

Classic way of trying to fear monger against someone.

Well, I agree that TL sounds very suspicious, however I would like to explain exactly what the functions you screenshoted do. 5:03 This function sends telemetry about what version of Minecraft you have installed, and has nothing to do with the programs installed on your pc. 5:07 Another basic telemetry. 5:11 Now this is really bad. This way they are logging the ip addresses of the servers and thus they are directly violating your and the servers owners' privacy. 5:19 The cmd mentioned is actually called by TLauncher. You can see the command prompt window pop up when your game crashes and it shows the error stack and displays some launch logs. The Launcher runs Minecraft verbose in order to show these errors similarly how you would run your Minecraft server manually. 5:25 dxdiag cannot alter any drivers from your pc. The option "/whql=off" will enable dxdiag to display information about drivers that were not downloaded via windows update. As a conclusion TLauncher does indeed collect some stuff from your pc. This is a somewhat normal telemetry. Official Minecraft does this too. Your browser does this too. Even your wallpaper engine from steam collects some data. If you really really want privacy, then just don't play Minecraft and switch to linux, start using tor or even better become a monk. From a legal point of view all this data should be mentioned in the "terms and conditions". I am not supporting TLauncher tho. I am saying that your claims about the code are to an extent exaggerated. Stay safe and do not pirate games.

And just like that, politics is now in Minecraft as well. As a Russian myself, I apologise for my braindead comrades. It's just because without TLauncher they most likely won't be able to play pirated Minecraft (not sure how many pirate launchers are still out there), and that would be a disaster to them. Piracy has become an integral part of gaming culture in Russia, and it's still growing ever so stronger because of current politics and sanctions.

@PennyLapin

Жыл бұрын

Piracy in itself does not feel much like a bad action, when the volume of players looking to pirating doesn't overwhelm the amount that give the parent company (Microsoft in this case) money. I bought my account at a time where the price was lower than it currently is, so I know it's become less accessible for people who can't put money aside for a game. My worry is that when people struggle during times of conflict or economic recession, it's easy to form distrust of things that don't benefit you. Malicious people take advantage of this, they give enough of a good thing to satisfy struggling people in order to exploit them. That's what I believe causes this extreme following. I think people are satisfied by what they are given, and either don't think of the chance for better, or are scared that they will lose it.

"a code that uses cmd" So does that mean its not normal for my cmd opening and closing the second it opens after i boot my pc?, it happened when I downloaded tlauncher

Thats funny that they say it doesn’t have viruses when I uninstalled TLauncher, IT DELETED MY MINECRAFT WORLDS THAT I PLAYED ON THE OFFICIAL LAUNCHER!!!! It started to put my worlds on a zip file which I was confused as to why it was doing that right when I was uninstalling the game. So I ended up deleting the files it left behind and reinstalling the official launcher again. So yeah definitely something that isn’t a virus would do…
