+title: Authentication
+description: Microsoft OAuth and offline authentication in DropOut
+---
+
+# Authentication
+
+DropOut supports two authentication methods: Microsoft Account (for official Minecraft) and Offline Mode (for testing and offline play).
+
+## Microsoft Authentication
+
+### Overview
+
+DropOut uses the **Device Code Flow** for Microsoft authentication, featuring:
+- No redirect URL required (no browser integration needed)
+- Works on any device with a browser
+- Provides simple code-based authentication
+- Fully compliant with Microsoft OAuth 2.0 standards
+
+### Authentication Process
+
+The authentication chain consists of multiple steps. DropOut automatically handles these complex exchange processes, including interactions with Microsoft, Xbox Live, and Minecraft services. If you are interested in detailed API implementation, please refer to [Internal Implementation](/docs/development/implementation#1-authentication-system).
+
+### Token Management
+
+**Access Token:**
+- Short-lived (typically 1 hour)
+- Used for game authentication
+- Automatically refreshed when expired
+
+**Refresh Token:**
+- Long-lived (typically 90 days)
+- Stored securely in `accounts.json`
+- Used to obtain new access tokens
+
+**Auto-refresh:**
+When the token expires, DropOut attempts to automatically update your login status using the refresh token when you launch the game, ensuring a seamless start.
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+- Tokens are stored in the platform-specific application data directory
+- All API calls use HTTPS only
+- No credentials stored (only tokens)
+- User-Agent header required (bypasses MS WAF)
+
+### Troubleshooting Microsoft Login
+
+**"Device code expired"**
+- The code expires after 15 minutes
+- Restart the login process
+
+**"Authorization pending"**
+- Normal during the waiting phase
+- Complete authorization in your browser
+
+**"Invalid token"**
+- The token may have expired
+- Log out and log back in (use "Switch Account" to clear token)
+
+**"You don't own Minecraft"**
+- Verify your Microsoft account owns Minecraft: Java Edition
+- Check at https://www.minecraft.net/profile
+
+## Offline Authentication
+
+### Overview
+
+Offline mode creates a local account that does not require an internet connection or a Microsoft account. This is useful for:
+- Testing and development
+- Playing without internet
+- LAN multiplayer
+- Mod development
+
+### Creating an Offline Account
+
+1. Click "Offline Mode" on the login screen
+2. Enter a username (3-16 characters)
+3. Click "Create Account"
+
+### How It Works
+
+**UUID Generation:**
+Offline mode uses a deterministic UUID generation algorithm based on the username (UUID v3). This means the same username will always get the same UUID in the same launcher instance, maintaining single-player save consistency.
+
+- Deterministic: Same username = Same UUID
+- No network requests needed
+
+**Authentication:**
+- Returns `"null"` as the access token
+- Minecraft accepts empty tokens in offline mode
+- Username and UUID are stored locally
+
+### Limitations
+
+- Cannot join online servers (online-mode=true)
+- No custom skins support
+- No capes support
+- Cannot use Microsoft account features
+
+## Account Management
+
+### Switching Accounts
+
+Currently, DropOut supports only one active account at a time. Multi-account support is planned.
+
+**Steps to switch accounts:**
+1. Log out of the current account
+2. Log in with the new account
+
+### Account Storage
+
+Account data is stored in `accounts.json` within the application folder. This file contains encrypted tokens, expiration times, and basic profile information for logged-in accounts.
+
+### Deleting an Account
+
+Steps to delete an account:
+1. Open Settings
+2. Navigate to Account
+3. Click "Log out"
+4. Or manually delete `accounts.json`
+
+## API Reference
+
+For low-level implementation of authentication, OAuth 2.0 flow details, and related Tauri command interfaces, please refer to the development documentation: [Implementation Details: Authentication](/docs/development/implementation#1-authentication-system).
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Microsoft Account for Official Servers**: To join official servers and use official skins, always use a Microsoft account.
+2. **Keep Tokens Secure**: Do not share the `accounts.json` file or its contents with others, as it contains your login credentials.
+3. **Refresh Tokens Regularly**: Long-unused offline accounts or expired Microsoft tokens can be refreshed by re-logging in or launching the game.
+4. **Use Offline Mode Only for Testing**: Offline mode does not support skins and some multiplayer features.

+title: Mod Loaders
+description: Fabric and Forge installation and management
+---
+
+# Mod Loaders
+
+DropOut supports the two most popular Minecraft mod loaders: Fabric and Forge. Both can be easily installed and managed directly from the launcher.
+
+## Fabric Support
+
+### Overview
+
+Fabric is a lightweight, modular modding toolchain focused on:
+- Fast updates to new Minecraft versions
+- Clean, minimal API
+- Strong developer community
+- Excellent performance
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Navigate to **Versions** tab
+2. Click **"Install Fabric"**
+3. Select Minecraft version
+4. Choose Fabric loader version
+5. Click **"Install"**
+6. Wait for installation to complete
+
+### How It Works
+
+DropOut integrates with the Fabric Meta API to automatically fetch compatible loader versions. In the background, it generates the version JSON, handles library dependencies, and utilizes the inheritance system to ensure perfect compatibility with vanilla Minecraft. Detailed JSON structure can be found in [Technical Details](/docs/development/implementation#fabric-integration).
+
+### Fabric Versions
+
+**Loader Versions:**
+- Latest stable (recommended)
+- Specific versions for compatibility
+- Beta/snapshot versions
+
+**Game Versions:**
+- All Minecraft versions from 1.14+
+- Snapshots supported
+- Combat Test versions
+
+### Library Management
+
+Fabric's dependencies are typically hosted on its official Maven repository. DropOut automatically resolves and downloads all required library files.
+
+### Fabric API
+
+Fabric Loader ≠ Fabric API:
+- **Fabric Loader**: Mod loader (installed by DropOut)
+- **Fabric API**: Library mod (download separately)
+
+Many mods require Fabric API:
+1. Download from [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) or [CurseForge](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api)
+2. Place in instance's `mods/` folder
+
+## Forge Support
+
+### Overview
+
+Forge is the original and most popular Minecraft mod loader:
+- Extensive mod ecosystem
+- Mature API
+- Wide version support
+- Large community
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Navigate to **Versions** tab
+2. Click **"Install Forge"**
+3. Select Minecraft version
+4. Choose Forge version
+5. Click **"Install"**
+6. Wait for installer to run
+7. Installation complete
+
+### How It Works
+
+**Forge Installer:**
+```rust
+// Download Forge installer
+let installer_url = format!(
+ "https://maven.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/{}/forge-{}-installer.jar",
+ full_version, full_version
+);
+
+// Run installer
+java -jar forge-installer.jar --installClient
+```
+
+**Profile Parsing:**
+1. Forge installer creates version JSON
+2. DropOut parses install profile
+3. Extracts library dependencies
+4. Processes processors (if any)
+5. Generates launcher profile
+
+**Version Format:**
+```json
+{
+ "id": "1.20.4-forge-49.0.26",
+ "inheritsFrom": "1.20.4",
+ "mainClass": "cpw.mods.bootstraplauncher.BootstrapLauncher",
+ "libraries": [...]
+}
+```
+
+### Forge Versions
+
+**Release Types:**
+- **Latest**: Most recent stable
+- **Recommended**: Most stable for production
+- **Specific**: Version-locked for compatibility
+
+**Minecraft Version Support:**
+- Legacy versions (1.6.4+)
+- Modern versions (1.13+)
+- Latest versions (1.20+)
+
+### Library Management
+
+Forge's runtime depends on a significant number of library files, including its underlying `fmlloader` and bytecode manipulation libraries. DropOut automatically resolves the complex dependency tree and retrieves these files from both the official Forge Maven repository and Minecraft's official libraries.
+
+For detailed analysis logic of Forge libraries, refer to [Implementation Details: Forge Core Library Resolution](../development/implementation.mdx#core-library-resolution).
+
+### Forge Processors
+
+Some Forge versions run "processors" during installation:
+- Bytecode manipulation
+- Library patching
+- Mapping generation
+
+DropOut handles these automatically.
+
+## Version Inheritance
+
+Both Fabric and Forge utilize Minecraft's version inheritance mechanism. In this model, the mod loader's version JSON only contains incremental changes relative to the vanilla version, addressed recursively upwards via the `inheritsFrom` field.
+
+DropOut's launch engine automatically handles this complex merging of libraries, arguments, and assets. Detailed merging logic and code implementation can be viewed in [Implementation Details: Version Merging](../development/implementation.mdx#version-merging-mechanism).
+
+## Comparison
+
+| Feature | Fabric | Forge |
+|---------|--------|-------|
+| **Performance** | Excellent | Good |
+| **Update Speed** | Very Fast | Moderate |
+| **Mod Selection** | Growing | Extensive |
+| **API Simplicity** | Simple | Complex |
+| **Version Support** | 1.14+ | 1.6.4+ |
+| **Developer Friendly** | Very | Moderate |
+| **Stability** | Excellent | Excellent |
+

+
+# Welcome to DropOut
+
+DropOut is a modern Minecraft launcher built with Tauri v2 and Rust, designed for players who value control, transparency, and long-term stability.
+
+<div style={{ textAlign: 'center', margin: '2rem 0' }}>
+ <img src="/image.png" alt="DropOut Launcher" style={{ maxWidth: '700px', borderRadius: '8px' }} />
+</div>
+
+## Why DropOut?
+
+Most Minecraft launchers focus on getting you into the game. DropOut focuses on keeping your game **stable**, **debuggable**, and **reproducible**.
+
+- Your instance worked yesterday but broke today? → **DropOut makes it traceable.**
+- Sharing a modpack means zipping gigabytes? → **DropOut shares exact dependency manifests.**
+- Java, loader, mods, configs drift out of sync? → **DropOut locks them together.**
+
+This launcher is built for players who value control, transparency, and long-term stability.
