This is a summary of last changes

New architecture
We released our new website with completely rewritten backend and API. This change was very needed since COVID-19 literally broke our servers. Our main focus was to rewrite everything as much optimized as possible, and we reach the goal with a great success! We lowered the server usage by over 70%, this is a huge difference. New website is not finished though, we mark it as beta on purpose as the website is still missing some key features, like ability to download your own skin. What does this update means for you? It all means that capes are back, you can use slim model again, and changing skin will take seconds instead of hours, and our servers are much more stable! We're very happy with the results, and we plan to invest more time in our site.

Launcher updates
With the new architecture we had to update our skins system to match our new API. The most important change is that skin loading will no longer freeze your game! 🎉🎉🎉 But that's not the only change we did.. We brought back skins to all versions of Minecraft, even on the first Minecraft Alpha version that support skins! We're extremely happy with the new code, big thanks to every one who reported not working skins below MC 1.9. Because of you, we wrote a completely new system for skins that is compatible with more packs and clients, and has way lower possibility of not visible skins! New system is craaazy man!

But we're not done!
We figured out some ancient bug with the launcher which fixed.. a numerous bugs! Isn't that great? But okay, okay, what changed?

• Sometimes, versions required our API to download assets index, that's no longer a case!
• Versions before Minecraft 1.6 has working sounds again, without need of our API!
• Sometimes Fabric or Forge ended up without sounds, and we fixed that!
• Fixed other bug with downloads, but yeah, who cares, hah

Happy Minecrafting!

Due to recent virus-related events, the traffic associated with our service is several times higher than usual.

We've taken steps to prevent further interruptions. If the problems occur again, we will try to fix it as soon as possible.

In addition, we have changed the page in the launcher, so if you read this, your launcher is already using the new server. We also intend to release beta 15, which should relieve our servers even more.

Now you can change primary color of the launcher to whatever color you want!

Woah, already four years, from nothing to... something?
I can remember that like it was yesterday.
A new version of Minecraft comes out,
and there was no other launcher available,
so I decided to make my own, and now we are here!

Soon we're gonna release SKL 3.0, which is a rewritten from scratch.

Today, I started working on SKlauncher 2.8 (Or something better?), more information soon.

After a month of work on the update, finally, it is! I fixed a lot of errors and generally upgraded working of Launcher. The biggest change is changing the folder in which the launcher runs. While the next larger update is planned for April. Along with the update 2.7.1 2.7.2 is closed an Optifine database, because it is no longer needed.
