A large refactor of bloxstrap in an opinionated manner.

Bloxstrap

An open-source, alternative bootstrapper for Roblox.

This is a drop-in replacement for the standard Roblox bootstrapper, providing additional useful features and improvements. This does not touch or modify the game client itself, it's just a launcher! So don't worry, there's no risk of being banned for using this.

Running into a problem or need help with something? Check out the Wiki. If you can't find anything, or would like to suggest something, please submit an issue or report it in our Discord server.

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 by running this in a Command Prompt window:

> 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.

Features

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

• Persistent file modifications, includes re-adding the old death sound!
• Painless and seamless support for Discord Rich Presence - no auth cookie needed!
• A customizable launcher look
• 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.

Bloxstrap also only runs whenever necessary, so it doesn't stay running in the background when you're not playing.
