Why Glint
Small launcher. Big difference.
A launcher can’t add FPS on its own once the game is running — the gains come from Java, memory, performance mods and settings. Glint gets those right for your PC, every time, so you don’t have to.
Tunes itself to your PC
Scans your CPU, GPU and RAM — no admin rights — then sets memory, JVM flags and game options to match.
Shaders in one click
Installs Sodium + Iris and Glint’s own LiteGlow pack, then writes the config. Pick Potato, Low, Medium or High.
Performance pack
Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, ModernFix, ImmediatelyFast, EntityCulling and Dynamic FPS — skipped if your version has no build.
Modrinth built in
Search mods, modpacks, shaders and resource packs. Dependencies install automatically; .mrpack files import in a click.
Crash Doctor
Reads the log after a crash and explains it in plain words — out of memory, wrong Java, mod conflicts, GPU drivers — with one-click fixes.
Fast relaunches
A warm launch only checks file sizes: about 0.2 seconds for 4,000 files. Repair re-hashes everything when you need it.
Out of your way
Glint hides to the tray while you play, freeing its window and memory, and comes back when the game closes.
LiteGlow shaders
Shaders made for laptops.
LiteGlow is Glint’s own shader pack, built for integrated graphics like Intel UHD and Iris Xe — warm sunlight, blue moonlit nights, painted clouds and water reflections.
Lighting is worked out per vertex and everything runs in one post pass, so it stays light. Shadows are off unless you choose High.

Medium≈ −28% FPS
High≈ −45% FPS
Under the hood
Tuned, not guessed.
Glint reads your hardware and picks a tier: Potato for 4 GB machines, Low for integrated graphics or 8 GB, Mid for up to 16 GB, High above that.
Memory Glint gives Minecraft
Default per performance tier. Glint always leaves Windows at least 2.5 GB.

The right Java, automatically
Java version each Minecraft era needs — Glint downloads it for you from Mojang’s own runtimes.

Built for speed
- Rust engine — downloads, versions, Java, launch, Modrinth, shaders, tuning and Crash Doctor, all unit-tested
- Tauri 2 shell — a native window instead of a bundled browser, so the whole installer is under 5 MB
- Mojang’s own Java runtimes, with Adoptium as a fallback
- Tuned garbage collection — G1, or ZGC on Java 21+ for big memory
- Your data, your drive — move games, Java and mods to any folder in Settings

Glint Mobile isn’t on Google Play yet. When Android asks, allow your browser to install apps; Play Protect may ask you to confirm too. Glint then updates itself in one tap. It sets up Minecraft 26.2 with touch controls, LiteGlow Lite shaders and settings tuned for your phone. Check the file:
