The launcher doesn't serve the purpose to replace clients or launchers directly from the server developers. It is only there to serve as an alternative. However, using our launcher comes with certain benefits. By using it, you will have access to a social system to track friends across multiple servers. In addition, you can also track how much time you have spent on each server and see a live player count. Finally, if that isn't enough, we also have an achievement and leveling system for you to feel a sense of accomplishment when playing various servers.
