PolyMC 5
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
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.

|
## Packages
|
|
Several source build packages are available, along with experimental pre-built generic packages.
|
|
|
|
- An [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/polymc-git/) is available.
|
|
- A Gentoo ebuild is available in the [swirl](https://git.swurl.xyz/binex-dsk/ebuilds) overlay, named `games-action/polymc`. Check the README for instructions on how to add the overlay.
|
|
- A Flatpak is available. Instructions on building it can be found in `[packages/flatpak/BUILDING.md](packages/flatpak/BUILDING.md)`.
|
|
- Generic, prebuilt packages (archived by version) can be found [here](https://packages.polymc.org/) ([latest](https://packages.polymc.org/latest))
|
|
- Last build status: https://jenkins.polymc.org/job/PolyMC/lastBuild/
|
|
- [Linux (AMD64) System](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/lin64-system/lin64-system.tar.zst) ([SHA256](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/lin64-system/lin64-system.tar.zst.sha256)) - this is a generic system package intended to be used as a base for making distro-specific packages.
|
|
- [Windows (32-bit)](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/win32/win32.zip) ([SHA256](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/win32/win32.zip.sha256)) - this is a portable package, you can extract it anywhere and run it. This package needs testing.
|
|
- [Debian (AMD64](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/deb/polymc-amd64.deb) ([SHA256](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/deb/polymc-amd64.deb.sha256)) - this is intended to be installed with `dpkg -i`. Alternatively, you may build the `.deb` yourself, by going to `packages/debian` and running `./makedeb.sh`.
|
|
- MacOS currently does not have any packages. We are still working on setting up MacOS packaging.

## Development
|
|
If you want to contribute to PolyMC you might find it useful to join [#development:polymc.org on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#development:polymc.org) or join [our Discord server](https://discord.gg/xq7fxrgtMP), which is bridged with the PolyMC Matrix rooms. Thank you!

|
### Building
|
|
If you want to build PolyMC yourself, check [BUILD.md](BUILD.md) for build instructions.
|
|
|
|
### 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.

## Help & Support
|
|
Feel free to create an issue if you need help. However, you might find it easier to ask in the Discord server.
|
|
|
|
[](https://discord.gg/xq7fxrgtMP)
|
|
|
|
For people who don't want to use Discord, we have a Matrix Space which is bridged to the discord server. Be sure to enable spaces first (Settings -> Labs -> Spaces), and then you may join the space:

|
|
|
|
Matrix's support for spaces is still in development, so if you have issues accessing rooms via the space, then you can join the rooms directly:
