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.
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 is signed and notarized; Windows and Linux ship as unsigned alpha builds. The AppImage self-updates; the .deb updates by re-downloading. Release notes and past versions live in the changelog.
Run your own server. The CLI deploys and manages a beacon with Docker — one command to install, one to launch.
Pick the host you are installing on. The page selects a likely OS automatically; the commands below update when you choose another one.
