Development

Build from source

Set up the Refract monorepo and create an unsigned local build.

Install Node.js 20 or newer, pnpm 9 or newer, stable Rust, and the Tauri 2 prerequisites for your platform. Windows packaging also requires WebView2 and Microsoft C++ build tools.

git clone https://github.com/RefractMC/Refract_MC.git
cd Refract_MC
pnpm install
pnpm dev

Create an unsigned local package with pnpm build. The React renderer lives in apps/renderer, the Tauri shell in apps/tauri, shared launcher logic in packages/core, and the public plugin API in packages/plugin-api.
