Is there a variant that allows users not to have to pay Microsoft for minecraft?

No but there might be a json file to drop in your dot files that covers you

Yes, it looks like TLauncher is the Pirate version.

No cause that would literally be piracy.

If you don't want to pay Microsoft then you don't play Minecraft.

Go play a different block game like vintage story.

Even if you do pirate Minecraft trying to use mods or do anything with it at this point is so beyond painful that it's not even worth it. Microsoft has made it a mess.

Bruh.

PolyMC allowed that without a hassle.

Playing pirate MC with mods and play multiplayer in pirate servers is not a hassle at all too.

It's the same development team, but if Prism officially endorsed that they'd be annihilated by the trillion dollar company lawyers, mate.

??? This is absolutely not true at all. The modding situation is better than it has ever been, in part thanks to mojang making the game's underlying systems more modular & extensible to facilitate modding, as well as deobfuscating the game's code.
The only thing you're giving up by pirating is playing on common servers, and it has always been like this.
