I know this sounds fucking stupid and it probably us but I’ll ask anyway. Is there any way to pirate an account? Specifically a mc have account, mainly for multiplayer. Any other workarounds can be used for piracy?

Mainly asking cos some of my IRL friends suggested we should play mc and while I have an account I dislike playing on PC and don’t want to sync a personal account to an unsecured device.

Is this whole thing impossible and dumb? Is this the wrong community? I need advice

    My friend asked me to play minecraft a week or two ago and I tried to go to my old mojang account to find apparently someone else owns minecraft now and I missed the registration window to migrate. I’m annoyed at that, and incensed to find that the game which used to be complete, full-featured foss is now $40 for what-the-fuck-did-they-add-i-dont-care-to-find-out.

      I bought it in alpha when the language was that you would have every version of the game forever. I did migrate, but if I hadn’t microsoft wouldn’t give a damn. They certainly haven’t given me access to all the new versions.

    For minecraft you can just use a offline mode in pretty much every 3rd party launcher, like SKLauncher

        you can play on multiplayer just fine, as long as server have enabled offline-mode

            Basically the server needs to allow you to connect even though you’re not authenticated with microsoft’s online account server. You would do this for instance if the entire multiplayer session was on a LAN with no internet connection. You probably won’t find servers that allow it over the open internet unless they have some other way of vetting who is connecting. So you’ll probably only be able to do it with servers you or your friends personally host.

    Perhaps a bit off topic, but relevant - the open source clone of Minecraft, MineTest, is now more than feature complete, fully multiplayer, has much lower hardware requirements, and has quite a few things that MineCraft lacks. And it’s free.
