	After you've got your account set up, you can [https://mc.skycow.us/download download the laucher] to run Skycow.US Minecraft on your computer. Like regular Minecraft it requires Java to run, so make sure you have a recent version. The latest versions of Minecraft (1.21 and later) require Java 21 or later (1.18-1.20 require Java 17+). You can download Java 21 from Skycow.US [https://mc.skycow.us/download/jdk-~~21_windows~~-x64_bin.exe at this link] or from [https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/ Oracle's website].		After you've got your account set up, you can [https://mc.skycow.us/download download the laucher] to run Skycow.US Minecraft on your computer. Like regular Minecraft it requires Java to run, so make sure you have a recent version. The latest versions of Minecraft (1.21 and later) require Java 23 or later (1.18-1.20 require Java 17+). You can download Java 23 from Skycow.US [https://mc.skycow.us/download/jdk-23.0.2_windows-x64_bin.exe at this link] or from [https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk23-archive-downloads.html Oracle's website].

	You can save the launcher ".zip" file anywhere. Open it and drag the "SkycowMC" folder somewhere you can get to it easily. Then run SkycowMC.exe to open the launcher. When you first start the launcher it shows a list of Java installations detected on your computer. If you don't see anything in the list, you may need to download Java (see above). Choose a Java version (preferably Java 17 or later) from the list. You can also set the minimum and maximum memory (RAM) that Minecraft is allowed to use. It's a good idea to increase this from the default 512MB-1GB to perhaps 2GB-4GB or even more if your computer has a lot of RAM (see the screenshot at right). Once this is done, click the Finish button.		You can save the launcher ".zip" file anywhere. Open it and drag the "SkycowMC" folder somewhere you can get to it easily.

Once this is done, click the Finish button.

	Now you'll see the launcher main window, which is empty right now because you haven't set up any versions of Minecraft to use. First, click Profiles in the upper right and then Manage Accounts. Click Add Skycow.US to log in. As mentioned above, this is different from your the regular Minecraft username and password you might have if you own the normal game. Once your account is added, click Close and you should see your account listed in the upper-right corner. Then, you can click Add Instance to add a version of Minecraft to play. You can add as many versions (or copies of the same version) as you want, and they will keep separate settings, world save files, and mods.
