Windows Minecraft Launcher Design
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I run a Minecraft server and now need a dedicated Windows launcher that feels fully “in-game.” The interface should pick up on our server’s look—textures, fonts, even subtle animations—so players know they are already stepping into our world the moment the exe opens.
Core requirement: the launcher must pull and display live player statistics (current online count, individual play-time record, last login, simple kill/death tally). A small status panel with a green/red indicator for server availability can sit alongside those stats if that’s convenient, but the statistics block is the non-negotiable feature.
Under the hood you’re free to choose the stack you prefer—Electron, C#, JavaFX, or another framework—as long as the final build runs smoothly on modern Windows 10/11 machines without extra installs beyond the JRE (if Java) or .NET Runtime (if C#). Lightweight auto-update for the launcher itself is a plus, though not mandatory at this stage.
Deliverables
• Branded, game-themed Windows launcher (installer + portable version)
• Source code and brief build instructions for future tweaks
• API or config file that lets me point the statistics calls to a new endpoint should I migrate hosts
If you have previous Minecraft-related UI work or can show prototypes quickly, that will help me decide faster. Looking forward to seeing your ideas come to life!
