SKlauncher Nix Flake

A Nix flake that packages SKlauncher — an alternative Minecraft launcher — by wrapping its official AppImage release with appimageTools.

What this does

• Fetches the SKlauncher 4.0.43 AppImage release directly from GitHub.
• Wraps it with pkgs.appimageTools.wrapType2 so it can run inside a Nix-managed FHS environment (no manual chmod +x / appimage-run needed).
• Exposes it as both a standalone package output and an overlay you can add to your own nixpkgs.

Requirements

• Nix with flakes enabled
• Linux, x86_64-linux (this flake targets that system only)
• X11 or XWayland (if using Wayland)

Usage

Run directly

nix run github:pbcdev210/sklauncher-flake

(Or use nix run . if running from a local clone.)

Build

nix build .#default
./result/bin/sklauncher

Add to a NixOS / Home Manager configuration

Add this flake as an input:

inputs.sklauncher-flake.url = "github:pbcdev210/sklauncher-flake";

Then either install the package directly:

environment.systemPackages = [ inputs.sklauncher-flake.packages.${system}.default ];

or apply it as an overlay so pkgs.sklauncher becomes available:

nixpkgs.overlays = [ inputs.sklauncher-flake.overlays.default ];
