If you started playing Minecraft in 2010 or 2011, then you probably familiar with the official launcher that had control over your account at that time. In addition to the standard authorization feature, the prior version of the Minecraft Launcher had a fairly broad range of features for the time. For example you could see the latest game news on the main screen, which was downloaded from the official developer's account on Tumblr.
The best thing about the launcher of old was its redesigned system for updating the game client. WHAT ABOUT This allowed you to download only the files that need to be changed when updating the game. This saved a lot of bandwidth and allowed users to update the client much quicker. The function to restart the game client was still available, but you would have to choose the "Force Update" option in the launcher settings. Few know that the old launcher from Mojang is still available and is compatible not only with the original Minecraft but also with the new versions of the game.
