In testing, running PojavLauncher via an emulator on Windows 10 yields approximately 60-80% of the performance of the native Minecraft Launcher, due to the overhead of the emulator. On Windows 11 with WSA, performance is improved but still generally inferior to running the game natively.

Inside the extracted folder, find PojavLauncher.exe (or a similarly named executable). Double-click to launch.

Full compatibility with modding platforms like Forge and Fabric , allowing you to use performance mods like Sodium or OptiFine.
