It installs this version and keeps it up to date. It is also on GitHub: the launcher releases. You need your own copy of Minecraft: Java Edition. The files below are what the launcher installs, and the dedicated server for people who host one.
\n\n### Fixed\n- item pickup: a stack in the off hand fills before the inventory, as getSlotWithRemainingSpace does (#3067, fixes #2865)\n- death message: a creeper's blast names the creeper, not the last mob that hit (#3068, fixes #2978)\n- riding: the crosshair skips the mob being ridden, so it can't be hit (#3069, fixes #2870)\n- boat: the view stops at 105 degrees at every turn, so it doesn't jitter (#3070, fixes #2983)\n- HUD paint: build the sprite key in one reused buffer (#3083)\n- Inventory draw: a slot is drawn from a reference, not a copy (#3086)\n- Creative screen: draw the selected tab from a reference (#3092)\n- Server list: build each row's sprite key once (#3095)\n- Effect panels: borrow the name and reuse the icon key (#3097)\n- Name tags: copy a custom name only inside the tag's range (#3100)\n- Crowded mobs take cramming damage, as vanilla (#3124)\n- Shulker bullets are drawn as the spinning bullet model, not a flat sprite (#3127, fixes #3115)\n- fix(windows): open URLs with the registered protocol handler (#3210)\n- Chat and book links: a show_dialog click event opens its dialog (#3238, fixes #3204)\n- Pin the turtle's walk animation to vanilla's rate (#2748, fixes #1776)\n- The spawn egg's offspring is a named, tested rule (#2791, fixes #2269)\n- Signs: keep laid-out sign text between frames (3458 signs: 124 → 222 fps) (#3284, fixes #1461)\n- Prepare: accept Mojang's fifth 26.3 republish (5df1795e, index 917ff6d7) (#3318)\n\n### Known issues\n- Shader packs have been removed for now. They will come back later, written again from scratch. Packs in your `shaderpacks` folder are left where they are.\n\nThanks to @Domanffe, @PH4N7OMx, @degepie, @iLostName, @kacpherek, @levzzz5154, @masa-masa-0314.\n\nNot an official Minecraft product.
