https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC - Fork of prism launcher to allow offline play without an account.
It is wild if jetbrains actually gave them IDE licenses, and that other company M1 macs
Edit: I've just looked into it a bit more and those badges are coming from the prismlauncher repo, which is the direct upstream of poly
If I recall pollymc had a controversy about something that made everyone drop it for some reason, can't recall what it was though
PolyMC (with one L) is the launcher that had the controversy. Prism Launcher was forked from PolyMC, and PollyMC (with 2 Ls) is a new project forked from Prism Launcher.
Ah I see didn't know there was a new one, interesting that they carried the name and added an L, could be a turn off for a lot of people
It's just a nod to pirates, now me wants cracker!
I think polymc and pollymc are two different things.
The PolyMC controversy is that one of the devs went rogue and kicked everyone else off the project, so they didn't really have a choice but to fork. They explain what happened on the FAQ of their website.
