Minecraft's New Launcher Eliminates The Need For Standalone Java To Play

Java is a widely used programming language across all industries and devices. However Java is still known for being insecure. A lot of Java-based programs and web apps, including the immensely popular Minecraft, have been written. The developer behind Minecraft has been working on developing a new game launcher which removes the need for users to have Java installed system wide. The new launcher will automatically find the correct Java runtime (x86/x64), and install it locally within Minecraft program files.

This new launcher will enable users to play Minecraft without opening Java to attack their systems. Relegating Java files to the Minecraft directory will allow Java exploits to work. Users must download Java separately. This new launcher will not only improve security but also provide significant performance improvements for 32-bit Java systems.  BITRIX Users who install the correct Java version won't notice any changes to their gameplay.

 This new and improved launcher also protects users from bloatware which Java tries to sneak onto systems during the install process. Default settings through the installer will add an Ask.com toolbar to unsuspecting Minecrafters' computers. Mojang has also kept Minecraft running with the same code while reducing their reliance upon Oracle who owns Java. Mincraft.net offers the latest installer. The new launcher will make gaming easier, secure your system (if Java is not installed system-wide), and prevent you from using Ask.com as your default search engine.

Microsoft's acquisition Mojang did not bring about any changes to Minecraft. However, changes like these are welcome. Minecraft has an audience across ages and genders, with a complex install process on the PC more users will simply seek to game using their smartphones, or game consoles. This plan to include Java within the Minecraft installer will make the game more accessible to all ages looking to play on their PCs.
