Where to get Minecraft for Arch Linux from? (feddit.de)

Arrrr my fellow pirates. Since I'm very unexperienced with the seas I ask for you guys, where can I get Minecraft from for Arch Linux. It's not because I'm not willing to pay 20€ but because Microsoft is a giant bitch and I'm not willing to put money in their mouth(especially after they changed their privacy policy).

PolyMC had some drama a while ago with a hostile takeover by a dev. The other original devs forked it and are now continuing the development at Prism launcher

edit: whoops! i made an error reading and didnt notice the two l's

Not PolyMC, PollyMC. Two different projects, PollyMC is now based on Prism

Yes, that’s why I mentioned that it’s based on Prism Launcher. I wonder who still use PolyMC.

A friend of mine still used PolyMC since they didn't hear about the drama. Now they know and switched to Prism Launcher.

It's the same with people still using MultiMC, since many people just don't know Prism Launcher has more active development. Or they don't care.

There were some talks to migrating all PolyMC Flatpak installations to Prism Launcher, which was achieved by marking PolyMC as outdated on Flathub's repo and marking Prism Launcher as the newer version, which will result in Flatpak clients replacing PolyMC with Prism Launcher while moving data over. The only thing users would notice is that the icon and name on the apps list changed, since all worlds and instances would stay in place.

Unfortunately I think they didn't continue with this decision.

I use it because I don't want to break something while switching it to a different client; and it still gets updates.

You can literally paste your PolyMC files to Prism Launcher and it will work perfectly

It's not PolyMC, it's PollyMC 😉

The second I heard about PollyMC I knew this would happen
