minecraft has a vanilla launcher too, because the game started out as a java applet so you need a shitton of flags to actually get the game to run normally. also there's no way to login to an account in the actual game.

anyway, prism is a mod-loading launcher. it integrates with curseforge and modrinth to allow you to install, build and distribute mods and modpacks.

Oh cool, thanks!

I guess that explains a bit more why Linux is so high, but still good to see.
