Pinecone is the Minecraft launcher of the TwoGG community. Instances, mods and modpacks in one place, plus TwoGG events, event packs and your friends, right in the launcher.
Features
Everything you need to play
Pinecone takes care of versions, Java and downloads. You just decide what to play.
Discover
Browse modpacks, mods, resource packs, shaders and data packs and install them in one click, dependencies included.
Modpacks
Import from a file or link, updates with a backup first. Your own changes to configs and mods are kept.
Change version
Move an instance to another Minecraft version or loader. Pinecone finds the matching mods.
Sync packs
Create your own collections like “Basics” or “Shader setup” once and switch them on and off in any instance.
Skins
Skin library with 3D preview and editor. Set your account's skin and cape right from the launcher.
Worlds & servers
Back up and tidy up worlds, see servers with live status and join directly. Screenshots and logs per instance.
Your look
Three themes (Bark, Pine, Winterland), five accent colors, pixel headings and reduced motion if you prefer.
Safe & open
Sign in with your Microsoft account, tokens in your system's keychain. Signed updates, source code open on GitHub.
TwoGG built in
Made for the community
Pinecone is not a launcher that just happens to support TwoGG. The community's events, servers and curated content are built right in.
Events
From the event straight into the game
See the events from twogg.app in the launcher: dates, description, your registration.
- Connect twogg.app (Discord or email) and see your own status
- Install the matching event pack in one click
- Join the event server directly
Friends
See who is playing
The Pinecone friends list uses your Minecraft account, so you don't need another account.
- Add friends by player name or friend code
- See who is online and what they are playing
- Only your friends can see your status
TwoGG picks
Checked by the team
At the top of “Discover” you'll find the TwoGG team's picks: event packs, performance packs and shaders that fit our servers. TwoGG modpacks are only available through Pinecone.
- Community server with live status on the home screen
- Community news in the launcher

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Pinecone cost anything?
No. Pinecone is free and open source (MIT or Apache-2.0). You only need your own copy of Minecraft: Java Edition.
Do I need a TwoGG account?
No. Your Microsoft account is enough to play. Connecting twogg.app is optional and shows your event registrations in the launcher. The friends list uses your Minecraft account.
Can I bring my modpacks from other launchers?
Yes. Modrinth packs (.mrpack) and CurseForge packs (ZIP) can be imported, as can Modrinth links. You can export your own instances as .mrpack and share them.
Are Forge and NeoForge supported?
Yes. Pinecone installs Forge and NeoForge with their official installers, including modpacks from Modrinth and CurseForge. Fabric and Quilt are supported too, of course.
How do I get updates?
Pinecone checks for new versions at startup and installs them when you agree. Updates are signed, and the launcher only installs packages from TwoGG.
Where is my data stored?
On Windows in %APPDATA%\TwoGG\Pinecone, on Linux in ~/.local/share/twogg-pinecone. Pinecone keeps sign-in data in your system's keychain, not in files.
