Heyo,
So since FTB moved back to its origins, decided to get back to FTB Launcher, but got a problem that it requires Java to be installed. I have downloaded tar.gz ages ago and I basicly extract it to the folder and use it as normally with MultiMC (for example). Is there any way to resolve this without any Java installations, just using extracted folder?
There was an option in MultiMC to add Java to the path if it wasn't detected, maybe it would be possible to do the same here?
Regards

Installing Java means services running in the background and so on. As mentioned I prefered MultiMC way, but if that's not possible then I'll have to stick to MultiMC.
