PolyMC VS ferium

No, not really. No one was in charge at the beginning. It was a community project with multiple people having the administrative role at the same time. LennyMcLennington was one of the contributers, but not really an important one. But he removed the administrative rights from the actually important people. Devs like flowln and Scrumplex played a much bigger role. Even after half a year being the only developer at the PolyMC-Project Lenny still heasn't caught up with what other conributers had done in a few months before. See: https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/graphs/contributors

Could I suggest trying a different launcher such as PolyMC? You can get this on deck in Linux linkand sign into your microsoft account to access Java. This version also has the benefit of you being able to get modpacks.

It's still open source, the repo hasn't moved. https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/

The issue is: the main developer freaked out, made a post ranting about political bs, kicked everyone from the GitHub project and now it's been 2 months since it hasn't been updated. The developers who used to contribute to "PolyMC" moved from the "PolyMC" project to the "PrismLauncher" one after the drama.

There was no prompting or provocation towards lenny at all. The code of conduct existed for ages before lenny deleted it on oct 17 2022: https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/commits/358f080c76dbdfc65f32e08448a5e38b78d2bab0/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

for polymc literally yes git commit (got deleted but title is there)

First, it's gio that handles trash in SteamOS. Second, after digging into PolyMC's code, it also leverages trash. Was added roughly 7 months ago in this commit: https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/commit/02f30de1c11fa53e61c199032a3280afe618e3b2

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I think my mod manager ferium. It is a CLI though, but you are on Linux after all so I assume you should be fine with it. Ferium will add all the required dependencies of a mod, it will prompt you for optional dependencies, and you can also add any other mods and they will all be stored in one nice file. You can then upgrade to the latest versions at any time.

curseforge is bloat, use Ferium

(I recommend Ferium)

dont use repeat mods, remove the older teralith, also update all of your mods, I recomend ferium

not to sound annoying, but i reccomend https://github.com/gorilla-devs/ferium it works with any launcher and is like really easy

On the topic of updating mods, are you tired of performing that repetitive task? If you’re not already using it, I can recommend ferium. It’s a command line mod management utility that keeps your mods up to date with a command. It is also open source. https://github.com/gorilla-devs/ferium

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.

ferium isn't a launcher, it's a command line mod manager/updater, but it does support curse and handling modpacks, just point it to an instance's mods folder https://github.com/gorilla-devs/ferium/

Ferium?
