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?" on the wiki for more details.

  • Get a permanent name + icon.
  • Style the logo for different icon styles.
  • Packaging for Linux--Any help packaging for your favorite distro is appreciated!
  • Packaging for MacOS/Windows
  • Stop relying on MultiMC-Hosted metadata services
  • Remove references to MultiMC

  • Figure out a way to switch to GPL.

Packages

Experimental packages are available for Linux (non-portable) and Windows (portable). Both versions are confirmed to work but the Windows version needs more testing--please volunteer if you use Windows!

  • A full list of packages is available here.
  • Last build status: https://jenkins.swurl.xyz/job/PolyMC/lastBuild/
  • Linux (AMD64) System - this is a generic system package intended to be used as a base for making distro-specific packages.
  • Windows (32-bit) - this is a portable package, you can extract it anywhere and run it. This package needs testing.
  • MacOS currently does not have any packages. We are still working on setting up MacOS packaging.

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.

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.

Help & Support

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

PolyMC Discord

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:

PolyMC 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:
