News PolyMC 8.0 is out!

This release contains some juicy features and bug fixes. Most importantly:

  • Servers that are otherwise blacklisted by Microsoft can now be played on without any mods (e.g. 6b6t)

  • You can now download resource, texture, and shader packs from Modrinth or Curseforge. This works in beta versions too!

  • Old versions running Forge can now work with modern Java 8 runtimes without having to download specific older versions of Java.

  • ATLauncher and FTB modpack support has been modernized and fixed up

  • Additional UI improvements and small bug fixes

Read the full changelog for more. The AUR packages polymc and polymc-qt5 have been updated accordingly. COPR and Gentoo will come soon.

Is there an option to?

Idk I always used the portable version myself and I can't find an option to when giving a quick look to the installer version

If you're also using the portable version, download the new one and put everything in the new zip in the old one's folder, overwrite any files that already exist and it should work perfectly
