All of your Minecraft, in one small app.

Profiles, mods, modpacks and even a texture editor: Mistly brings the essentials together and nothing more.

Profile management

Each profile has its own version, mod loader and folder. Libraries are shared, so nothing is downloaded twice.

Mods & modpacks

Mods, resource packs, datapacks and shaders from Modrinth and CurseForge, with their dependencies. Import a modpack in one click.

Texture editorExperimental

Build your packs pixel by pixel and export them as .zip. A texture edited in Paint.NET reloads on its own.

Features

Built for playing, not for waiting.

A launcher that stays out of the way: it starts fast, uses little and leaves the memory to Minecraft.

Ultra light

Written in Rust, Mistly uses very little RAM: memory goes to the game.

Every version

Releases, snapshots, betas and alphas, all available.

Accounts

Sign in with Microsoft or use offline accounts, your choice.

Auto updates

Mistly updates itself, no reinstall needed.

Multilingual

Translated interface and Discord Rich Presence.

Shared libraries

Files shared by your profiles are downloaded only once.

Compatibility
6

mod loaders supported, offered according to the Minecraft version you pick.

All your mods, no tinkering.

Pick a mod loader when you create a profile: Mistly installs it, fetches the mods and their dependencies, then launches the game.

Horizon

Minecraft rewritten in Rust, one click away.

Horizon is an open source (MIT) rewrite of Minecraft: Java Edition 26.3 in Rust. Mistly plays it like any other version, without the Horizon launcher.

  • Pinned at the top of the version picker, with its nightly and stable builds straight from GitHub
  • Install several builds side by side and pick the one you play
  • Mistly installs Minecraft 26.3 and Java, then prepares each build once from your own game files

Horizon is an unofficial project, not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft. It needs a Microsoft account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Mistly free?

Yes, Mistly is completely free.

Do I need admin rights?

Where do mods come from?

From Modrinth and CurseForge. Dependencies are installed automatically and modpacks are imported in one click.

Which mod loaders are supported?

Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt, OptiFine and LiteLoader. Mistly only offers the ones that exist for the chosen version: for example NeoForge from 1.20.1, LiteLoader up to 1.12.2. Quilt also loads most Fabric mods.
