So, I stopped playing Minecraft when m$ acquired them. I refused to make a ms account. I had already bought the game twice under Mojang.

So, fuck Microsoft. How are you guys playing Mc with friends? Id like to load up my old (7 ish years) world again and play like the good times before ms ruined it all.

Am I stuck with mineclone?

    I highly recommend freesmlauncher, it’s a fork of prism launcher that doesn’t make you sign in.

    You can then set up a Java server and in server.properties, set “online-mode” to false, that makes it so unverified accounts can join.

    The only thing to note is that no skins will be present if you do this. There might be a mod that helps, but idk

    I miss the experience I had with my old minecraft games from time to time but I’m on Luanti now and no longer at Microsoft’s mercy.

    It’s never the same going back to an old place anyway.

      True.

    I’ve read that there are some 3rd party launchers that will let you bypass the account requirement for solo play. I haven’t dug into it to figure out which one(s) though.

      There are many, notably: -ElyPrism -PrismLauncher cracked

      AVOID at any cost Tlauncher, it’s a malware

    You can allow unverified accounts onto your server if you run java edition. Nobody will have their account skins but who cares. This will allow people to connect and play without purchasing the game. Idk how you get one of these copies though
