Mac users, there is a known bug with our current installer that we are diligently trying to fix (as of 8/23/2018). To fix the freeze while booting Minecraft for the first time after installing PolyCraftWorld, try turning off and on your wifi, rebooting your computer, or re-installing Minecraft.
See below for a detailed walk-through on Polycraft World installation:

2. Choose the
+ Add New button on the launcher screen. You can optionally enable any of the settings up top, such as historical revisions or Advanced Settings, but these are not necessary.
3-5. Select the Minecraft version 1.7.10, which is the version that is compatible with Polycraft World. Call this the Vanilla build. This is necessary to set up map files for 1.7.10. Then click
