Is your suggested feature related to a problem? Please describe.
No.
Describe the solution you'd like
I am a minecraft player from other chinese launchers, am trying to use some foreign launcher.
I found that there's no any launcher i use in the Creating An New Instance -> Import From Launcher screen.
In my knowledge, all minecraft instance's directory tree format are simillar, so maybe we can run from existing installed instances directly.
Scan for .minecraft directory in:
- Vanilla Launcher Directory (C:\Users*\AppData\Local\Roaming.minecraft
- Same Directory of Launcher Installed
- Any Directory if User Imported (in a new tab of
Creating An New Instance)
Describe alternatives you've considered
I know two directory tree formats:
- vanilla launcher format: all instances in a
.minecraftdirectory, putsaves,screenshotsetc in the same directory to keep them common in any version - modded launcher format: only
assets,libaries,versionsin.minecraftdirectory, put other things (mods,config,logs,savesetc) inversionsdirectory
once the imported directory tree format matches one of above, add got instances to the list of launcher.
