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.

- A [Nix](packages/nix/NIX.md) derivation is available in repo.
- A Gentoo ebuild is available in the [swirl](https://git.swurl.xyz/swirl/ebuilds) overlay, named `games-action/polymc`. Check the README for instructions on how to add the overlay.
- The Flatpak can be built using [this source](https://github.com/flathub/org.polymc.PolyMC).
- An RPM package is available, by going to the `packages/rpm` directory and running `./makerpm.sh`.
- 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`.
- [AppImage (AMD64)](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/appimage/PolyMC-latest-x86_64.AppImage) ([SHA256](https://packages.polymc.org/latest/appimage/PolyMC-latest-x86_64.AppImage.sha256)) - `chmod +x` must be run on this file before usage. This should work on any distribution.
- 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.
You can build the flatpak using [this source](https://github.com/flathub/org.polymc.PolyMC).
### 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.
