Bloxstrap

An open-source, feature-packed alternative bootstrapper for Roblox.

This a drop-in replacement for the stock Roblox bootstrapper, working more or less how you'd expect it to, while providing additional useful features. This does not touch or modify the game client itself, it's just a launcher!

If you encounter a bug, or would like to suggest a feature, please submit an issue. If you're looking for help on how to use Bloxstrap, please see the help topics, or open an issue.

Bloxstrap is only supported for PCs running Windows.

Installing

Download the latest release of Bloxstrap, and run it. Configure your preferences if needed, and install. That's about it!

Alternatively, you can install Bloxstrap via Winget:

> winget install bloxstrap

You will also need the .NET 6 Desktop Runtime. If you don't already have it installed, you'll be prompted to install it anyway. Be sure to install Bloxstrap after you've installed this.

It's not unlikely that Windows Smartscreen will show a popup when you run Bloxstrap for the first time. This happens because it's an unknown program, not because it's actually detected as being malicious. To dismiss it, just click on "More info" and then "Run anyway".

Once installed, Bloxstrap is added to your Start Menu, where you can access the menu and reconfigure your preferences if needed.

If you want to build Bloxstrap's source code, see the guide for building from source.

Features

Here's some of the features that Bloxstrap provides over the stock Roblox bootstrapper:

• Persistent file modifications - re-adds the old death sound!
• Support for shaders with ReShade and Extravi's ReShade Presets
• Painless support for Discord Rich Presence - no auth cookie needed!
• Built-in FPS unlocking
• A customizable launcher look - includes dark theme!
• Lets you disable the Roblox desktop app
• Lets you opt into non-production Roblox release channels
• Lets you see what region your current server is located in
• Lets you have multiple Roblox game instances open simultaneously

All the available features are browsable through the Bloxstrap menu. There's not too many, but it's recommended to look through all of them.

Bloxstrap also has inherent benefits over some other Roblox mods, as ReShade does not break whenever Roblox updates and thus require a reinstall, and is completely free, forever. It also only runs whenever necessary, so it doesn't stay running in the background when you're not playing.
