Builder AI Chat

AI Assistant for Launcher Builder

The new Builder AI Chat panel lets you interact with an AI assistant directly inside the Launcher Builder. Ask questions, get suggestions, and receive real-time guidance while customizing your launcher — all without leaving the editor.

Key capabilities:

  • Contextual help — The assistant understands your current builder state and provides relevant suggestions.

  • Preview tooltips — Hover over AI suggestions to preview how changes will look before applying them.

  • Conversational interface — Chat naturally to explore configuration options and get step-by-step guidance.


Icon Only

NEW: External links can now be configured as DLC links with icon-only navigation support.

Icon + Text

You can now designate links as DLC links in the builder. Combined with the new icon-only mode, navigation links can display just their icon — saving space while keeping navigation accessible. A new Home navigation option is also available for quick access to the main page.


Downloads Button Settings

Downloads Button

The builder now includes a dedicated Downloads Button toggle and preview. When enabled, a Downloads shortcut button appears in the launcher's top navigation bar, giving players quick access to manage their downloads.


Launcher Update Settings

Launcher Update Settings

New launcher update toggles let you control auto-update behavior directly from the builder. Configure whether the launcher checks for updates on startup and how update notifications are displayed to players.


Launcher Desktop

News Alert Notifications

Alerts as a expandable Icon

Alert notifications appear in the NavBar and can be expanded or collapsed by the player. Developers can configure alerts from the dashboard to communicate important updates, events, or announcements directly within the launcher.


Icon-Only Navigation

Icon Only navigation links

Navigation links now support an icon-only display mode — showing just the icon without text labels. This creates a cleaner, more compact navigation bar, especially useful for launchers with many links.

Icons have been normalized across the navigation system for consistent sizing and alignment.


Configurable Downloads Button

Downloads Button - No background, right side

A new Downloads button can now appear in the top navigation bar. When enabled from the dashboard, players get one-click access to the downloads manager without navigating through menus.


Launcher Update UI

The launcher now includes a dedicated update settings interface, allowing the update behavior configured in the dashboard to be reflected in the launcher's settings panel.
