An open-source Minecraft launcher, promoted by the YouTuber Norisk and used by over 10,000 people a day. I built the entire launcher frontend and its design, developed the Friends feature end to end including its backend, and optimized the 3D character renderer with full cosmetic and nametag support. Still shipping new features.

  • Optimized the 3D character renderer with a custom shader, full cosmetics, emotes, and a dynamic nametag
  • Shipped the Friends feature end to end, frontend and backend
  • Promoted by the YouTuber Norisk, used by 10,000+ players a day

What it is

NoRiskClient is an open-source Minecraft launcher built with Tauri and Rust. It is promoted by the YouTuber Norisk and used by more than ten thousand people every day.

The 3D renderer

I optimized the in-launcher 3D character renderer and integrated it with a custom shader. It has full NoRisk cosmetic support and is emote ready, plus a custom nametag that dynamically fetches the player's skin, icon, and cosmetics and anchors them onto the body in real time.

What I did

I built the entire launcher frontend and its design, and developed the Friends feature from the database all the way to the interface, including its backend. I keep shipping new features as the client grows.

Mods and content

The launcher ships a curated mod browser with one-click installs, all inside the interface I designed.
