Nickel is a single file. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

Download

1. Download Nickel.exe from the latest release.
2. Put it in a folder of its own (it keeps its data next to itself) and run it.

Windows may warn about an unknown publisher the first time, because the launcher is not signed: choose More info, then Run anyway.

Load into Minecraft

1. Start Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.26.62.01.
2. Press Load in the launcher. It checks the game version, then loads Nickel.
3. In game, press the menu key (Right Shift by default) to open the menu.

The menu key can be changed in the launcher: click Menu key and press the key you want. It is kept for the next launches.

Updates

The launcher checks the latest release and replaces itself when a newer one exists. Your settings, configs, scripts and schematics live in %APPDATA%\Nickel and are kept across updates.

Privacy

Nickel has no account and no login. To count players on this site, the launcher sends an anonymous ping every two minutes while it is open: a random id created on your PC and the launcher version, nothing else. Turn off Usage statistics in the launcher settings to stop it.
