โ–ถ๏ธ Watch the Video Guide:


The Bonfire Launcher gives you quick access to all core applications โ€” the Builder, Player, Mapifier, and Sparkifier โ€” bundled into one convenient interface. Whether you're installing for the first time or switching between versions, the Launcher ensures a clean, efficient experience across the full Bonfire suite.

๐Ÿงฐ What You Can Do in the Launcher

  • Install and launch Bonfire Builder, Player, Sparkifier, and Mapifier

  • Switch between software versions using the dropdown selector

  • Update to the latest version as soon as new builds become available

  • Uninstall specific versions to free up disk space

  • See version status at a glance (installed, available, etc.)


๐Ÿ”„ Managing Versions

Bonfireโ€™s Version Management system gives you complete control over your installation environment:

  • All installed versions are listed in the Launcher

  • The most recent version appears in the version dropdown menu

  • You can run older builds for testing or compatibility purposes

  • Click the ๐Ÿ—‘ icon next to a version to uninstall it

๐Ÿ’ก We recommend updating to the latest version when available to access new features, improvements, and bug fixes.


โœ… Best Practices

  • Always launch Bonfire tools from the Launcher to ensure the correct version is used

  • Keep only the versions you need to save disk space

  • Use version labels to distinguish between stable, beta, or custom builds
