Oh, the Minecraft launcher? Neat! I remembered after a couple of minutes of wondering what I'm looking at that I do use that launcher, and it could be more Nix friendly! Even avoiding the manual java install path update when java updates in nixpkgs would be helpful.

This is great; I've been waiting for this to be picked up for a while. The only thing Prism now lacks is application-layer sandboxing for Java mods, whose importance was shown post-Fracturizer. Perhaps this is something that could be done with Nix too, with a runtime injection into the mods' prologues that interfaces with a shared coremod library. The principal issue with this approach would be JRE privilege escalation requirements. But this is putative, and I'm glad this project targets a few steps that would otherwise be preliminary.

I just installed it yesterday after seeing it recommended on the Nix wiki, but I didn't know a fellow Lemmy user is the dev behind it! The only features I need that aren't present so far are automatic mod dependency resolution and modpacks.

Ayyy, that's cool to see. Any possibility of supporting freesm later on?
