---

**RCraft** is a high-performance, open-source Minecraft launcher built with **Rust** and the **GTK4** framework (via Relm4). Designed for Linux, it offers a seamless, beautiful, and native experience for managing your Minecraft adventures.

With a focus on speed, aesthetics, and usability, RCraft integrates perfectly with modern Linux desktop environments thanks to **Libadwaita**.

## Features

- **Modern Native UI**: Built with GTK4 and Libadwaita for a sleek, responsive, and native Linux feel.
- **Smart Version Management**: Easily download and launch any Minecraft version.
- **Profile System**: Create and manage multiple isolated game profiles with custom settings.
- **Integrated Mod Browser**: Search, download, and install mods directly from Modrinth.
- **Performance First**: Lightweight footprint and fast startup times powered by Rust.
- **Auto-Java Management**: Automatically downloads and configures the exact Java version required for each Minecraft instance, ensuring perfect compatibility.

## Usage

RCraft is distributed as an **AppImage**, a universal package that runs on almost any Linux distribution without needing installation.

### Quick Start

1. **Download** the latest `RCraft-x86_64.AppImage` from the [Releases](https://github.com/vdkvdev/RCraft/releases) page.
2. **Make it executable**:
Open your terminal and run:
```bash
chmod +x RCraft-x86_64.AppImage
```
3. **Run**:
```bash
./RCraft-x86_64.AppImage
```
*Or simply double-click the file.*
