Update: Added dynamic launcher libraries. Reduces launcher file size from ~11MB to ~850KB. If you're unsure what I mean, here's a short explanation. The launcher downloads the libraries it uses instead of including them in the executable.

I’m building it on windows at the moment, but it’s written in Java. Before release I’m going to test on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. I’m also going to have it packed into an exe and possibly a macOS app.

 

Edit: I also use Maven for building the jar executable. I use the maven central and jcenter repos for downloading libs for the launcher
