PolyMC is a custom launcher for Minecraft that focuses on predictability, long term stability and simplicity. This is a **fork** of the MultiMC Launcher and not endorsed by MultiMC. The PolyMC community felt that the maintainer was not acting in the spirit of Free Software so this fork was made. Read "[Why was this fork made?](https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/wiki/FAQ)" on the wiki for more details.

In general, in order of importance: - Make sure your IDE is not messing up line endings or whitespace and avoid using linters. - Prefer readability over dogma. - Keep to the existing formatting. - Indent with 4 space unless it's in a submodule. - Keep lists (of arguments, parameters, initializers...) as lists, not paragraphs. It should either read from top to bottom, or left to right. Not both. ## Translations TODO ## Forking/Redistributing/Custom builds policy Do whatever you want, we don't care. Just follow the license. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask in an issue.
