  • PlaceholderMC

    Discontinued A custom launcher for Minecraft that allows you to easily manage multiple installations of Minecraft at once (Fork of MultiMC) [Moved to: https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher]

  • The remaining devs have forked it into https://github.com/PlaceholderMC/PlaceholderMC.

  • meta-polymc

    Static files available at https://meta.polymc.org/v1 (by PolyMC)

  • 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.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  • NixOS users may be interested in this tracking issue and this discussion about replacing the project with PlaceholderMC when it's ready. There's probably similar efforts in other distro communities.

  • org.polymc.PolyMC

  • The Flatpak is in control of someone on the PlaceholderMC team and will likely be switched over to PlaceholderMC. You're free to mask updates out of an abundance of caution, of course, but it's fairly unnecessary and may cause harm if you forget to undo it later on. Relevant issue
