Wtf does this do

SkLauncher is a third-party launcher for the game Minecraft, written in C++. A launcher is the program you use to start the game, log in, and manage different versions or configurations. This one is described as lightweight and fast, with a clean modern interface. According to the readme and description, it supports logging in with a premium Minecraft account as well as an offline mode. It can manage multiple mod loaders, Fabric, Forge, Quilt, NeoForge, and OptiFine and Iris for graphics shaders, which are tools that let players add community-made modifications to the game. Other features include a custom skin and cape manager (controlling how your character looks), a modpack manager for installing pre-built collections of mods, configurable memory allocation, and a portable mode that runs without installation. The readme notes it is optimized for Windows 10 and 11. Installation consists of downloading a ZIP file, extracting it, and running the included executable. The readme explicitly states the launcher is intended for use with legitimate Minecraft accounts.
