Old Launcher (MCPIL-Legacy)[edit | edit source]
The original Launcher started as the main project of MCPI-Revival (previously known as MCPI-Devs), featuring various projects such as ModPi and the multiplayer proxy,[1] but when MCPI-Reborn (previously MCPI-Docker) was created, the project tried to be compatible with it, resulting in a fragile "only works on my machine" program. After an hiatus, the project was abandoned. It was officially deprecated after after the MCPIL-R release.

jMCPIL and gMCPIL[edit | edit source]
After the deprecation of MCPIL-R, two new competing launchers were developed, jMCPIL and gMCPIL. The former is written in Java using the built-in Swing library, and the later is written in C using the GTK+ 3 library (later rewritten to use Vala for the frontend). These two competed to replace MCPIL-R, and due to rigged submissions during the vote, both replaced MCPIL-R, with users being able to choose between the two in the Pi-Apps installer.
