Shard is an open-source Minecraft launcher with a global deduplicated library and declarative profiles (plain JSON). It materializes clean instances from a single source of truth, integrates with Modrinth and CurseForge, and supports scriptable workflows via a CLI, while providing a polished desktop experience. Built in Rust with Tauri for a fast, lightweight app. Define profiles in plain JSON, install content from Modrinth/CurseForge, and launch clean instances without duplicating the same mods across every pack. Why Shard? Save Disk Space Install the same mod in 10 profiles, it's stored once. Shard uses a SHA-256 content-addressed store, so identical files are never duplicated.
