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?" on the wiki for more details.

Windows (32-bit) (SHA256) - this is a portable package, you can extract it anywhere and run it. This package needs testing.

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:
Development
If you want to contribute to PolyMC you might find it useful to join our Discord Server or Matrix Space.
Building
If you want to build PolyMC yourself, check 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.
