Step 1: Download the Cubion Launcher
Simply click the “Download” button to get the macOS installer. The file will be in .dmg format. Once the download is complete, locate the file in your downloads folder.
Tip: Download only from the official cubion.io website for a safe installer.
Step 2: Open the Installer
Double-click the downloaded .dmg file to open the installer. A window will appear, prompting you to drag the Cubion Launcher icon into the “Applications” folder. This is a standard macOS installation procedure.
Drag the Cubion Launcher icon to the Applications folder, then eject the disk image when the copy is complete. You can then open Cubion from Applications or Spotlight.
Step 3: Sign in to Your Microsoft Account
Once the launcher opens, you’ll need to sign in to your Microsoft account. If you’re not signed in yet, click on the “Log in with Microsoft Account” button. You will be prompted to enter your account details. After successful authentication, the launcher will display a confirmation that you are logged in.
Cubion uses the official Microsoft sign-in flow—your password is never entered into the launcher itself, only on Microsoft's secure page.
Step 4: Choose Your Minecraft Version
Next, choose the Minecraft version you wish to play. Cubion Launcher supports various versions, and you can easily select the one that fits your needs. From here, you can explore mods, install them, and customize your Minecraft experience.
Pick the same version your modpack or server uses to avoid compatibility issues.
Step 5: Download and Install Mods
With Cubion, modding your Minecraft experience is simple. Browse the Mod Market, select your desired mod, and install it in just a click. The launcher will handle the rest, ensuring everything is set up correctly.
One-click modpacks
