This launcher exists to launch Minecraft. Nothing more. Every feature that is not essential to launching Minecraft must be implemented as an extension. The launcher should never become bloated. Users should install only the features they want. Think of this launcher like VS Code. The launcher itself is intentionally minimal. Features grow over time by installing extensions.

When a user opens the launcher they should think "This feels incredibly simple." Not "This launcher can do everything." The launcher should disappear into the background. Minecraft remains the focus.
