Launcher 1.8.9

Getting the launcher on your PC, how updates arrive (small and automatic), and how to repair or remove it.

Microsoft sign-in, keeping more than one account, switching between them, and what Sour Client stores.

News, your friends, the last seven days of playtime, and what the Play bar at the bottom tells you.

Each launcher profile is its own game folder. How to make one, set its version and memory, add mods, import from Lunar or Badlion, and more.

Which Java your game runs on, the experimental newer-Java switch, and when to touch the Java path setting.

How to add OptiFine once for every profile, and the OptiFine settings Sour Client sets for you.

Equip what you own, preview it on your skin in 3D, and upload your own cloak with Sour Gold. What each review status means.

Change your real Minecraft skin, copy another player's, and keep a few saved to swap between.

Every session you play from Sour Client, by day, server and profile.

Every F2 screenshot from every profile in one place, with your own folders, search and full-size viewing.

Your Sour Client friends, chats and groups from the launcher, and the notification centre.

Every switch in the launcher's Settings page: game launch, Java, updates and integrity, appearance, notifications and your account.

What Sour Gold switches on in the launcher, how creator-code trials work, and what to do if Gold does not show.

The Report button in the launcher's title bar, and what happens after you send one.
