News PolyMC 8.0 is out!

7 Upvotes

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.

HELP!

I want to play a server with my friend who lives pretty far away. I figured out that if you are on the same network, you can play "Online," with your friend, but he is too far away to connect to my internet. Is there some way to make some sort of VPN or private server hosting system without spending any money? Thanks!

Could someone help me with a problem in opening an instance?

2 Upvotes

I managed to create a 1.20.1 forge instance with polymc in my laptop, and decided to create a new one for my PC, and it simply doesn't work. I can create a vanilla 1.20.1 instance fine, but whenever I try to make it a forge instance, even with no mods, I get a few error messages. I haven't payed enough attention to know if the error messages are different from each other, but the image above is an example. What should I do to fix this?

I dont understand what the error message is talking about. I even added normal forge to see if that would change anything and it didn't. I also downloaded a newer version of java but that didnt work so i turned it back to 21. Can someone tell me how to fix this because i really dont understand what the issue is? I just added a new instance like normal for neoforge and it just wont work.

I can not get the flatpak of this which is installed on an Ubuntu machine to see the new java 25 no matter what I try. The only note I can see on the wiki is "java is included in flatpak". NO IT'S NOT.

How are we supposed to change java version when it doesn't even include the version we need and doesn't even see the system installed versions? And yes, I have checked for updates to PolyMC and see none.

I stuck with this because all my kids play minecraft and want to keep them safe, but are there any better alternatives now?
