The Minecraft April Fools LaunchCraft update is the sibling to Craftmine, and it has massively empowered the launcher. You can now unlock a bunch of Minecraft Launcher Skills and enable them, making the client feel particularly unique and fun. The only “issue” here is that it can take you a few minutes to get all of them, as you have to level up. Fortunately, this process isn’t tedious — you’ll be max level in a jiffy.
As of right now, you can unlock 34 Minecraft Launcher Skills in the April Fools LaunchCraft update. There are two more right at the bottom that cannot be unlocked, and while some Redditors have tried to get them by tweaking the code, none has had any success so far. With that done, let’s take a look at all the LaunchCraft skills you can get, how they change the client, and how you can level up fast.

How To Quickly Level Up All Minecraft Launcher Skills In April Fools LaunchCraft 2025
Leveling up in the April Fools LaunchCraft Client is kind of similar to farming XP in Minecraft: there are a bunch of actions you can take. The job here is much simpler, however, as everything you do increases your XP; moving the cursor around, clicking random things, switching tabs, everything bumps you up. You can observe your progress via the bar at the bottom of the screen. The button to select your Minecraft Launcher Skills is on its right.

Minecraft: 7 Best Joke Items Released During April Fools
Mojang always has something weird and hilarious cooked up for April Fools updates, and these items are some of their best work.
Many fans have recommended switching between Java, Bedrock, Legends, etc., tabs. However, the fastest way to level up Minecraft Launcher Skills in the April Fools update is to rapidly toggle the Leaves option on the left side of the screen. Through this, you don’t have to go up and down and all over like with the other routes, and rapid-clicking a stationary button is way easier and quicker. If you choose to rapid-fire the Leaves toggle, you will reach max cap, Level 30, in no time at all.
What Is Minecraft Launcher Level 9001?
You may be tempted to reach Minecraft Launcher Level 9001 for the last two skills to get Old Launcher UI and Launcher Cape, but it’s likely that they’re pranks. This is an April Fools update, after all. Even the Redditors who successfully rewrote the launcher’s code didn’t get the items, which implies that these are probably just red herrings. Manually progressing to Level 9001 can’t be done either, as the bar caps at Level 30.
