One thing you should know is that the launcher is effectively maintained by a single person, and new versions have historically required updates to the launcher before working. This means that you usually have to wait a couple of days or weeks before being able to play the latest version. This is not a problem when playing with others also using the launcher, but it does become grating when it comes to cross play with mobile or Windows platforms.
