Your link for legacy launcher has a typo. llaun.ch, not llau.ch.

Also, I have the installer for it, which has been deleted from the site. I can send it to you in DMs.

u/kyznikov Dec 05 '23

Fixed, thanks

u/coltzord Dec 06 '23

it has not been deleted, i literally just downloaded it. could be a regional thing idk, either way i recommend everyone checking the site first

2

u/[deleted]Dec 05 '23

It was deleted?? I downloaded the launcher a month ago

2

u/jkldgr Dec 05 '23

u/Strict-Energy-5589 Jun 01 '24

u/Kero_mohap Dec 06 '23

u/PirateProphet_ Dec 10 '23

Why does it matter that it's made by russians?

2

u/the_doc268 Dec 06 '23

I feel like ppl from Russia are pretty much impossible to be held accountable for spreading malware or spyware towards countries west of Russia.On the other hand, ppl from Russia are poor (compared to other western countries) so they rely a lot more on cracks and "free" software, especially because they are sheltered from copyright infringement claims.But at the end of the day the seas are free to sail for everyone and I get my malware from all around the world, without discrimination. Just try to use common sense even when that sketchy site offers you the only option for the software of your dreams.

u/[deleted]Dec 06 '23

Yeah, Russia mostly ignores concerns from the "outside". And piracy is spreading even more since russian cards don't work outside Russia, and using 3rd party ways is risky and has a fee.

u/jkldgr Dec 05 '23

I have the installer of original TL, which is now deleted. Do you want it?

1

u/Rey_Is_Thy_Nugget Mar 31 '24

Yoo so since the installer is the original one, it would be the equivalent (in safety terms) of legacy launchers mc? If yes could I get it

1

u/jkldgr Mar 31 '24

I guess

u/Professional_Tip3716 May 02 '24

How do you use the github launcher?

u/[deleted]Dec 05 '23

tlauncher legacy is renamed to legacy launcher

4

u/Kero_mohap Dec 05 '23

Can i get the link to it? Heard that TL had made fake copies of it and they put malware in them

1

u/[deleted]Dec 06 '23

llaun.ch

​

TL is the malware one, legacy launcher is safe (afaik)

u/LvDogman Dec 05 '23

When pressing download (at least windows option) is taken down by DMCA request or something like that. Well they have discord server or at least invite link, which might or might not have expired.

2

u/TwoplyWatson Dec 06 '23

look up the site with achive.org , couple months back and the links will work :P

1

u/jkldgr Dec 05 '23

I can send it to you in DMs, the installer file from its site (llaun.ch) has been deleted half a year ago. I mean the Legacy Launcher installer.

The download button is not clickable. It says:

Downloads from this website have been halted
We've received a complaint from Mojang. You can't download the launcher from this website.

Isn't it a good time to finally purchase Minecraft?

u/IamMauriS Dec 05 '23

After some time, it downloads some shady files that is Spyware, that can't be removed with "just uninstalling it".

2

u/DaJayusi Jan 07 '24

Does it download the spyware after a specific period of time has passed? And if yes how much would that period of time be?

I've had it on my laptop for a good 4-5 months now and I deleted it yesterday. Still worried about my personal information though.

1

u/IamMauriS Jan 07 '24

The Spyware is incredibly unpredictable, but usually after half a year for a sneaky bit by bit download.

1

u/PirateProphet_ Dec 10 '23

how else would someone remove said spyware? I've been using TLauncher for over 4 years now and I'd like to completely wipe if off my computer.

1

u/IamMauriS Dec 10 '23

The best way is to fu#k everything and reinstall windows or go to settings and search for the "reset this pc (or restart my pc)" and it can be either keeping files or scraping everything and start from 0.

2

u/Kero_mohap Dec 06 '23

This video sums it up very well

2

u/Kero_mohap Dec 06 '23

Id buy it except if it didnt cost 927$ for me (EGP)

1

u/Familiar_Ad_8919 Dec 06 '23

costs the same in eurozone and hungary as well (eur and huf equivalent), idk how its going for egyptians but even here in hungary (consistently within top 5 worst in eu) vast majority of people can afford it easily

2

u/Kero_mohap Dec 06 '23

Well not for us cuz if we gonna be 1k for a game thats half of our monthly money here lemme explain the avg pay we get (monthly) is around 1.5k/2k and the food here is also expensive af like 1 kilogram of steak is ~300Oh whats that gonna get chicken instead? ~80/k fish? ~120/k so its expensive here plus we gonna take away half of that by buying minecraft and then thats how u dont eat that month

1

u/Familiar_Ad_8919 Dec 06 '23

i did not think its that bad in egypt, how do u even survive? we make a comparative EGP16000 as minimum wage (after taxes) and its not enough

1

u/Kero_mohap Dec 06 '23

16k??? I literally coughed up my water and im not even joking but ye we need to try to save as much money as possible here by not spending that much on other stuff like good pcs and stuff so we can actually get food and stuff

2

u/Kero_mohap Dec 05 '23

No im talking about the russian TLauncher

4

u/DeviantPlayeer Dec 05 '23

Well, Legacy Launcher was originally called TLauncher until those mfs stole the name and they are both Russian.

2

u/Kero_mohap Dec 05 '23

Oh im talking about the one that still holds the name TLauncher as of now

6

u/DeviantPlayeer Dec 05 '23

That's malware by design, it will never be safe.

3

u/Kero_mohap Dec 06 '23

This video sums it up very well and its the one where i found out its malware also https://youtu.be/SBTH9n6lz9o?si=UbQRYxkRsi0KTXir

2

u/Kero_mohap Dec 06 '23

I didnt know any other cracked launchers at the time so is SKLauncher good? Someone recommended Legacy Launcher is SKLauncher better than Legacy Launcher?

1

u/Shoddy_Peasant Dec 06 '23

It's on the megathread, I used it before too, MP works, mods work, no virus, then again I ain't never tried Legacy.

2

u/Kero_mohap Dec 06 '23

Whats MP? Sorry im not that good in piracy and im kind of still new so sorry if its a common thing

1

u/MasterReposti Dec 06 '23

Multiplayer, i assume
