It's a part of the latest April Fools 2025 CraftMine update, which you can install through Snapshot. Once I began this new update, the LaunchCraft system appeared shortly after. This feature changes the look and feel of the Minecraft Launcher. Sometimes, it'll alter fonts; other times, it'll transform your cursor into a weapon.Screenshot by DestructoidYou'll notice a progress bar at the bottom of the screen, gradually increasing the longer you are in the Launcher. When hitting a particular milestone, you'll unlock a new Launcher Skill. Press the 'Select Skill' to turn on your unlocked abilities. You can even turn on multiple skills to drastically change the Minecraft Launcher.All Launcher Skills in Minecraft LaunchCraft April Fools 2025LaunchCraft features various levels for you to unlock, all of which will have a unique skill attached. Although the system presents a Level 9,001 rank, Level 30 seems to be the maximum cap.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to access this ability. Redditors have tried to implement codes to reach Level 9,001, but no matter what, it doesn't seem to unlock the two rewards at the bottom. I've also tested to see if it opens when all Launcher Skills are active, and it still doesn't trigger it.Screenshot by DestructoidWe may get more answers later on, but as of right now, there doesn't seem to be a way to get the Old Launcher UI and Launcher Cape rewards. Since it's based around the April Fools update, it may be a joke where you can't acquire it. At the very least, you can get your hands on the new Yearn cape from the A Minecraft Movie Live Event. How to increase levels fast in Minecraft LaunchCraftRather than sitting and waiting for the LaunchCraft bar to load, you can switch between the tabs on the left to increase it substantially. Just hit Java Edition, Bedrock Edition, Dungeons, and Legends repeatedly, and you'll make it to Level 30 in no time.Screenshot by DestructoidYou can also click on the progress bar to increase the bar slightly. However, I suggest using the switch tabs version for a quicker process.How to turn off LaunchCraft in MinecraftIf you don't want the progress bar to appear in the Minecraft Launcher, go to the Settings tab and check off 'Launcher Leveling System.' The bar will no longer appear at the bottom of your screen, appearing just like it did before the CraftMine update. Screenshot by DestructoidAnytime you feel like trying out LaunchCraft, you can simply click on this setting again to turn it back on. You can also browse through the settings to look through more customizable options in the Minecraft Launcher.
