I still find MultiMC/it's forks much better for the sole reason it has an "instances" folder and every folder has it's own Minecraft version. Idk why but I feel that way is more organized
Fjord Launcher allows for offline accounts, it's a fork of Prism, which itself is a fork of PolyMC, which itself is a fork of MultiMC, which itself is a fork of yer mum
Didn't know about my mums fork🤨
I use prisim mc. I forget why they forked but it works fine for me.
Do you use it offline without a Microsoft account?
No you still need an account. In fact since the migration it makes you reauth frequently which is annoying. There are forks that let you launch the game offline but it means you cannot play on any online servers and you are technically pirating the game.
Mmc dev was doing shady at best stuff.
Like? I'm out of the loop
From what I remember: Owner locked all of the devs out of access to the project Some racism/homophobia
And some other things i dont exactly remember rn, but because of this stuff the devs all left and forked into Prism so im not even sure is Poly is still being developed, and if it is id be sceptical on how safe it is to use given who owns it.
TIL!
I downloaded prism recently but not playing anything ATM, no idea on what to play (modded)
Poly?
So I think it goes multi -> poly -> prisim each forked due to some issue with the lead dev but I might be getting poly and prisim mixed up
It's sad that they didn't keep the curseforge zip import thingy intact, you have to download the server files and stuff and it's annoying... I don't know if others did solve it but I wish there was an official support
Oh i was talking about PolyMC, a MultiMC fork. From what i know MultiMC is fine but less polishes than Prism which is a fork of PolyMC.
I only know about multimc. I still don't know what's the difference between these two since they look identical (logo/name excluded)
