PolyMC 8.1

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. …

Apparently there's NeoForge support in this one or something idk I don't play Minecraft.
Notice
If you use AppImageLauncher then it will not work with the PolyMC AppImage unless you're using the v3.0 alpha of AppImageLauncher.
