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.

Packages

We currently don't have any packages available yet as this project has just been started, but we expect this to change very soon.

Development

If you want to contribute, talk to us on Discord first.

While blindly submitting PRs is definitely possible, they're not necessarily going to get accepted.

We aren't looking for flashy features, but expanding upon the existing feature set without distruption or endangering future viability of the project is OK.

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.
