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.

Installation

• All downloads and instructions for PolyMC can be found here
• Last build status: https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/actions

Development Builds

There are per-commit development builds available here. These have debug information in the binaries, so their file sizes are relatively larger. Portable builds are provided for AppImage on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

For Debian and Arch, you can use these packages for the latest development versions:

For flatpak, you can use flathub-beta

Help & Support

Feel free to create an issue if you need help. However, you might find it easier to ask in the Discord server.

For people who don't want to use Discord, we have a Matrix Space which is bridged to the Discord server:

If there are any issues with the space or you are using a client that does not support the feature here are the individual rooms:

Code formatting

Just follow the existing formatting.

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.
