- MultiMC - a custom open source launcher. It allows you to have multiple, separate instances of Minecraft, each with their own mods, texture packs, saves, etc.
Mods
- Minecraft Forge is required by most mods, and is the standard for a modded setup.
- OptiFine adds support for HD textures and a lot of options for better looks and performance. As of 12/17/2015, Optifine now also supports shaderpacks.
- MCPatcher can be used alternatively without the performance for better HD texture support.
Java version
- The Windows version of Minecraft includes Java (used for Minecraft only). Installing Java manually is not necessary.
- Minecraft benefits from using the latest version of Java. Using 64-bit Java on 64-bit operating systems is strongly recommended.[3]
