SynCraft is the launcher.
Syntax Forge is the product hub.
SynCraft is a desktop Minecraft Java launcher built for speed, clarity, and control. The launcher stays free for playing Minecraft. The future Pro upgrade is focused on local server management, setup automation, and account-backed license delivery through Syntax Forge.
Playing Minecraft stays free
SynCraft is not a paywall launcher. The free tier covers the core experience: account login, instances, downloads, modpacks, Java detection, and launch.
- Microsoft login and multi-account support
- Vanilla, Fabric, Quilt, Forge, and modpack launch flows
- Modrinth + FTB browsing and local `.mrpack` import
- Java detection, diagnostics, crash viewing, and instance management
Pro is for server operators
The planned Pro upgrade is a convenience layer for local server management, not a restriction on gameplay. Syntax Forge is the natural place to sell, activate, and support that upgrade.
- Local server dashboard and process controls
- Guided server setup wizard for first-time operators
- License-key activation delivered through SyntaxForge
- Account portal support for downloads, licenses, updates, and help
How Syntax Forge should support SynCraft
Product page, free-vs-pro comparison, setup docs, changelog, FAQ, and a support path that matches the launcher’s actual feature boundary.
Secure checkout, license key delivery, account dashboard access, resend/recovery flows, and a validation API the launcher can call without embedding payment logic.
