All downloads

Everything you need to play on or host a Beacon server. Every platform, no account, and nothing behind a private repo. Builds are served straight from the public registry.

For players

Beacon Launcher

The desktop app: sign in with Microsoft and join any Beacon server in one click. It installs the right client, mods, loader, and Java for you.

macOS

macOS 11+ · Apple Silicon & Intel

Signed & notarized universal .dmg.

Windows

Windows 10+ · x64

Code-signed installer (.exe).

Linux

x64 · glibc 2.35+

Self-updating AppImage. Mark it executable and run.

macOS and Windows are code-signed; Linux ships as an unsigned alpha build. The Microsoft Store build and the AppImage self-update; the .deb updates by re-downloading. Release notes and past versions live in the changelog.

For hosts

Beacon CLI

Run your own server. The CLI deploys and manages a beacon with Docker: one command to install, one to launch.

Install the Beacon CLI

Pick the host you are installing on. The page selects a likely OS automatically; the commands below update when you choose another one.

Install on Linux
curl -fsSL https://beacon-mc.io/install.sh | sh
Confirm the install
beacon --version
