Should I be worried about "compromised" software?
No, it is instructed where to download files from by the manifest in https://meta.polymc.org/v1, which has historically been populated by this git repo: https://github.com/PolyMC/meta-polymc

OVE-20221017-0001: PolyMC appears to be compromised
They do have access to the contents of the PolyMC metadata server. It serves from https://github.com/PolyMC/meta-polymc, which only they can push to at the moment. The metadata server serves links to executable Java files and native libraries, and supplementary files required for Minecraft and various modloaders. It is important to trust the people providing the metadata server. The metadata server URL is configurable in PolyMC's settings. https://meta.scrumplex.rocks/v1/ is a mirror ran by a person behind PlaceholderMC; serving files from https://github.com/PlaceholderMC/meta-polymc.

PolyMC WAS NOT compromised
GD is too busy for my taste--I'm honestly looking at some command-like launchers like ferium (also from GorillaDevs) or portablemc (because 🐍 python 🐍), but I'm also giving it a day to see how quickly "PlaceholderMC"* gets off the ground.

PolyMC, Fabric, OreSpawn
If you're referring to a screenshot of the modrith announcement in discord, it's just wrong, you can just change the metadata server setting to 'https://meta.scrumplex.rocks/v1/' and not update it, the devs (other than the one who went rogue) created a fork, so you can use that once they publish new builds
-
OVE-20221017-0001: PolyMC appears to be compromised
The remaining devs have forked it into https://github.com/PlaceholderMC/PlaceholderMC.
- Has anyone made a community fork yet?
- Is this true?
- Switch off of PolyMC ASAP
-
Important warning for users of the PolyMC mod launcher: Shut down *right now* and don't use it again unless you know exactly what you're doing!
Looks like PlaceholderMC is the replacement for now (it's the fork of PolyMC created by the non-bigoted developers who got kicked out).
-
PolyMC compromised apparently according to essential mod devs
https://github.com/PlaceholderMC/PlaceholderMC is probably the most direct replacement - it's where the sane PolyMC devs have gone.
- PolyMC (a third party Minecraft launcher) has gone a sketchy path - it's advisable to uninstall it if you have it installed.
-
PolyMC compromised by rogue developer having unabomber manifesto in steam bio
The owner whose account might be hacked or might just have decided to do this kicking out all the active devs from the github project at the same time is some important context to go with the issue.
The other maintainers have already started a fork.
