Source visible
Microsoft sign-in is open and verifiable
River Client only talks to the official Microsoft and Mojang endpoints during sign-in. Your refresh token and Minecraft access token are stored locally on your machine and never sent anywhere else.
Device-code flow
Login uses Microsoft's devicecode + token endpoints. You confirm the code in your browser. The launcher never sees your password.
Xbox + XSTS
Standard Xbox Live and XSTS handshake using user.auth.xboxlive.com and xsts.auth.xboxlive.com. Same flow Mojang's own launcher uses.
Minecraft profile
Tokens go to api.minecraftservices.com for ownership check and profile. Stored on disk in your launcher data folder.
Read the actual sign-in source
The exact JavaScript that runs in the launcher's main process is published verbatim. Open it in your browser or download the file.
FAQ
Short answers for the stuff players usually ask first.
Does River Client allow cheats?
No. River is aimed at clean visual and utility features only.
Where do updates come from?
The launcher uses the River update manifest and downloads the current package from the same release channel.
Where are my tokens stored?
Locally on your machine in the launcher's app data. They are not uploaded to River services.
Can I manage mods inside the launcher?
Yes. River can search Modrinth, install compatible files, show versions, and update installed content.
Can I see crash reports?
Yes. The launcher has a crash viewer and direct access to log and crash folders.
Where is the community?
Join the official River Client Discord for releases, testers, support, and partner server updates.
