Upstream changelog: https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/releases/tag/8.0 (Imcomplete) list of changes in 8.0 relevant to PollyMC: - Prism has dropped support for Mojang accounts - https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/pull/1656 - Added it back to PollyMC primarily since the Mojang authentication code is also used for authlib-injector accounts. Some users may also still want to be able to log in to Mojang accounts for some reason: https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC/issues/115#issuecomment-1805384658, even if they do not provide authentication to multiplayer servers. - To my surprise, I could still log in to a Mojang account, get its skin, and launch the game. Authentication to servers, of course, did not work. - Tested: logging into authlib-injector, Mojang, and MSA accounts and launching the game. - Prism has added a built-in updater for Windows and Linux that I assume provides similar functionality to Sparkle on macOS: https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/pull/1268. There is a Launcher_UPDATER_GITHUB_REPO variable in CMakeLists.txt that specifies the repo checked by the updater. I have changed this to the PollyMC repository, and since PollyMC follows almost the same CI/release patterns as Prism Launcher, it might work with PollyMC, too, but I have not tested it yet. - Add macOS support to Nix - https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/pull/1485 - Untested - The "PollyMC-Linux-8.0.tar.gz" and similar build artifacts were renamed to "PollyMC-Linux-8.0-Qt5.tar.gz" to match their "PollyMC-Linux-8.0-Qt6.tar.gz" counterparts. - Removed Windows MSVC Legacy builds - Removed Quilt Beacon toggle, the beacon is now always disabled: https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/pull/1547, https://github.com/PrismLauncher/meta/pull/23 - Prism removed FTB support in 7.0, but I tested creating an FTB instance to make sure it still works in 8.0 Signed-off-by: Evan Goode <mail@evangoo.de>

<h1>Installation</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Windows</h2>
|
|
|
|
You can get installers or portable builds from the [releases section](https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC/releases/latest), MSVC builds are recommended over MinGW builds but there's no real difference.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Scoop Installer</h3>
|
|
|
|
If you prefer Scoop over traditional methods of installing Windows programs, [TechPro424](https://github.com/TechPro424) maintains a Scoop bucket that provides PollyMC.
|
|
|
|
To install PollyMC from Scoop:
|
|
|
|
First run `scoop bucket add TechPro424 https://github.com/TechPro424/scoop-bucket` to add the bucket to your system.
|
|
|
|
Then run `scoop install TechPro424/pollymc`.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Linux</h2>
|
|
|
|
You can get the launcher as an AppImage, a Flatpak or a portable binary from the [releases section](https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC/releases/latest).
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, PollyMC is also available on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=pollymc).
|
|
|
|
<h2>MacOS</h2>
|
|
|
|
There are builds for MacOS in the [releases section](https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC/releases/latest).
