PolyMC 8.0 ڈاؤن لوڈ

This release contains some juicy new features, alongside UI enhancements, bug fixes for modpack providers and legacy versions, and most importantly：the ability to play on blacklisted servers, such as 6b6t!

## Features

• Servers that are otherwise blacklisted by Microsoft can now be played on, such as 6b6t. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1794
• You can now download resource, texture, and shader packs from Modrinth or Curseforge. This works in beta versions too! @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1804
• The instance server list has been improved, now showing important data (player count, icons, etc.). @Kaydax in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1730
• Old versions of Minecraft with Forge installed previously did not work with modern Java 8 runtimes. The new "Ignore Forge security errors" option allows modern Java runtimes to bypass this and play old versions of Minecraft with Forge. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1795
• You can now use the Loki Yggdrasil agent as a custom authentication alternative for versions 0.0.18a to 1.6.4. @thedirtybubble in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1790
• You can now use locally hosted HTTP metadata servers. @JackOfNoneTrades in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1762
• Windows on ARM now has a setup executable (Windows 11 only). @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1797
• Linux AppImages can now automatically update themselves if a new upstream version is present. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1788

## UI Improvements

• You can now add the same account name to multiple different services/hosts. @prozacgod in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1727
• Offline usernames are now checked for general validity, alongside previous length requirements. @hustlerone in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1737
• The offline login dialog now focuses on the username textbox by default. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1752
• RAM allocation values below 1024 MiB now warn the user, but it can now be set as low as 8 MiB for very old versions. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1787
• You can choose to ignore duplicated Java runtimes in the version selection screen. This is mostly useful on Linux. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1799
• The log searching function will now automatically wrap its search if you reach the bottom or top. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1798

## Bug Fixes

• The macOS icon has been updated to support macOS 26 and above. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1796
• Font scaling on macOS has been fixed. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1796
• Editing the maximum RAM allocation with a low minimum could cause strange behavior due to max >= min checks. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1791
• Curseforge modpacks could potentially specify overrides that broke out of the dedicated staging path, which was a security risk. You are now warned if this is the case. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1805
• Certain older texture packs may have had invalid or unreadable descriptions. Most of these will now display properly. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1808
• ATLauncher modpacks now support NeoForge. @Kaydax in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1759
• Fixed ATLauncher modpacks crashing the launcher during installation if Liteloader was present. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1793
• Fixed FTB modpacks being unable to download, or not being present in the modpack search menu. @crueter in https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/1792
