https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC - Fork of prism launcher to allow offline play without an account.

If I recall pollymc had a controversy about something that made everyone drop it for some reason, can't recall what it was though

PolyMC (with one L) is the launcher that had the controversy. Prism Launcher was forked from PolyMC, and PollyMC (with 2 Ls) is a new project forked from Prism Launcher.

Ah I see didn't know there was a new one, interesting that they carried the name and added an L, could be a turn off for a lot of people

I think polymc and pollymc are two different things.

The PolyMC controversy is that one of the devs went rogue and kicked everyone else off the project, so they didn't really have a choice but to fork. They explain what happened on the FAQ of their website.

UltimMC is good. It's a fork of MultiMC that allows playing without account.

SKLauncher allows custom skins and capes

Since you are looking to play single player you might also want to check out Minetest with the Mineclone2 addon installed. It is not identical, but it is an amazing substitute and free.
