What Wurst does

Wurst is one of the oldest Minecraft clients and runs on Windows, Linux and macOS. The project is open source and distributed free of charge, and a mirror of the project is kept on SourceForge. The 2b2t wiki lists it as outdated for anarchy servers.

Recent activity on the client has not been checked, so its status is recorded as patched: the client was broken by a game update and is not working now. Searches pair the name with free download and direct link, and the jar circulates as a torrent with steady seeders, a magnet link and a .zip repack on mediafire mirrors.
