BlockLaunch is a powerful and easy Minecraft Launcher. Here are some features of it:

• Supports Name-Changing
• Update-System
• Easy mod installation (coming soon)

It also includes most of the features from the original Launcher.
It's still in Beta so some features are maybe not available or not finished!

The current version is 0.3.5 Beta
