What is LaunchCraft in Minecraft?

Before we get into the skills, you should know what LaunchCraft actually does. It’s a part of the latest April Fools 2025CraftMine update, which you can install through Snapshot. Once I began this new update, the LaunchCraft system appeared shortly after. This featurechanges the look and feel of theMinecraftLauncher. Sometimes, it’ll alter fonts; other times, it’ll transform your cursor into a weapon.

You’ll notice a progress bar at the bottom of the screen, gradually increasing the longer you are in the Launcher. When hitting a particular milestone, you’ll unlock a new Launcher Skill. Press the ‘Select Skill’ to turn on your unlocked abilities. you may even turn on multiple skills to drastically change theMinecraftLauncher.

All Launcher Skills in Minecraft LaunchCraft April Fools 2025

LaunchCraft features various levels for you to unlock, all of which will have a unique skill attached. Although the system presents a Level 9,001 rank, Level 30 seems to be the maximum cap. Here’s what to expect with each Launcher Skill inMinecraftApril Fools 2025:

Those who go to the end of the skills page will see a Level 9,001 Launcher Developer section. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to access this ability.Redditorshave tried to implement codes to reach Level 9,001, but no matter what, it doesn’t seem to unlock the two rewards at the bottom. I’ve also tested to see if it opens when all Launcher Skills are active, and it still doesn’t trigger it.

We may get more answers later on, but as of right now, there doesn’t seem to be a way to get the Old Launcher UI and Launcher Cape rewards. Since it’s based around the April Fools update, it may be a joke where you can’t acquire it. At the very least, you can get your hands on the newYearn capefrom theA Minecraft MovieLive Event.

How to increase levels fast in Minecraft LaunchCraft

Rather than sitting and waiting for the LaunchCraft bar to load, you canswitch between the tabs on the leftto increase it substantially. Just hit Java Edition, Bedrock Edition,Dungeons, andLegendsrepeatedly, and you’ll make it to Level 30 in no time.

You can also click on the progress bar to increase the bar slightly. However, I suggest using the switch tabs version for a quicker process.
