One file, one minute to install. After that, Opus updates itself.
All you need is the installer. Opus takes care of everything else.
Download OpusSetup.exe. It is one small file.
Run the file. Pick a folder and whether Opus goes on your desktop, in Start and on the taskbar. No administrator rights needed.
Sign in to the launcher, create a client and pick a server. The first time, Opus downloads the game data straight from Mojang.

Windows SmartScreen warns about programs that not many people have downloaded yet. Click More info and then Run anyway. Opus only installs into your own user folder and you can always remove it through Settings > Apps.
Go to Settings > Apps, find Opus Client and choose Uninstall. You can choose whether to keep your accounts and clients.
Opus is a program to play Minecraft Java Edition, with its own launcher. It was rewritten from the ground up, without any code from Mojang, to be faster than the original.
Opus talks to servers in exactly the same way as Minecraft 26.3, including the encrypted connection. Signing in with your Microsoft account is built in and turns on as soon as Mojang has approved Opus; until then you can play singleplayer and on servers that do not require a Microsoft account.
Yes. Under Singleplayer you create new worlds or open your worlds from the regular Minecraft launcher, with your own inventory and position. Opus uses the official Minecraft server on your own computer for this, so everything works exactly the way you are used to.
Opus does not ship any files from Mojang. The first time, the launcher downloads the game data directly from Mojang's official servers.
Opus only installs into your own user folder, needs no administrator rights and verifies every update before installing it. You can always remove it through Settings > Apps.
No. No x-ray, killaura, flying in survival or anything else that gives you an unfair advantage. Extra features are only things you could also do with regular mods.
Automatically. The launcher regularly checks for a new version and updates itself with one click.
Download Opus Client, install it in a minute and play Minecraft the way it should feel.
