## Package variants
Both Nixpkgs and this repository offer the following packages:
- `prismlauncher` - Preferred build using Qt 6
- `prismlauncher-qt5` - Legacy build using Qt 5 (i.e. for Qt 5 theming support)
- `fjordlauncher` - Preferred build using Qt 6
- `fjordlauncher-qt5` - Legacy build using Qt 5 (i.e. for Qt 5 theming support)
Both of these packages also have `-unwrapped` counterparts, that are not wrapped and can therefore be customized even further than what the wrapper packages offer.
### Customizing wrapped packages
The wrapped packages (`prismlauncher` and `prismlauncher-qt5`) offer some build parameters to further customize the launcher's environment.
The wrapped packages (`fjordlauncher` and `fjordlauncher-qt5`) offer some build parameters to further customize the launcher's environment.
The following parameters can be overridden:
- `msaClientID` (default: `null`, requires full rebuild!) Client ID used for Microsoft Authentication
- `gamemodeSupport` (default: `true`) Turn on/off support for [Feral GameMode](https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode)
- `jdks` (default: `[ jdk17 jdk8 ]`) Java runtimes added to `PRISMLAUNCHER_JAVA_PATHS` variable
- `jdks` (default: `[ jdk17 jdk8 ]`) Java runtimes added to `FJORDLAUNCHER_JAVA_PATHS` variable
- `additionalLibs` (default: `[ ]`) Additional libraries that will be added to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
