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

Im not sure either. Wayy too much shady shit out there since its a kids game and super easy to trick a dumb kid into downloading malware lol
Just go for open source launchers, Elyprism is a cracked launcher and allow skins using a 3rd party service
PrismLauncher-Cracked lets you play without Ely.by as well, just pick a username and press play
I think you can use elyprism to play without an ely.by account too, i used to do that
You might be right, I've never used ElyPrism and I didn't see anything about offline accounts without ely.by but I might've missed something or they just didn't include it in their README
You can restrict access to just your friend's public IPs easy with ufw, use the launchers others mentioned and I am sure it will be fine. Or just use regular Prism and be Steve.
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
Ill try this!
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.
Problem is convincing my friend to move since hes obsessed with mc java. I try explaining its an exact clone but theyd rather I just buy the game but I refuse to give em another cent.
it's definitely not an exact clone, they're very different. movement, graphics, terrain constraints and the sorts of mods people make differ drastically.
Well...they are different, also you will not find cool mods like: Create, Farmer delight, ars novoue etc etc
Fucking hate this shit. Like pulling people off discord.
Yeah exactly
ShatteredPrism, it's a fork of Prism Launcher that don't give a shit about the rules.
I like no rules
Pretty much, Luanti it is
Have you been keeping tabs on the mineclone projects these past few years? Mineclonia and voxelibre are both excellent Foss alternatives. Most people would struggle to be able to identify MCLA with a MC texture pack as any different from real deal.
I havr them all!! Trouble is convincing others haha
We would also like to play some of our old maps, i am guessing we could convert them?
Yes theres absolutely tools to convert mc worlds to minetest/luanti worlds. using these tools probably requires some willingness to run terminal based shell commands though.
I dont mind that at all. Thanks,
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
I have a ligit account I play with.
However, you can play in offline mode using Prism Launcher. Doesn't require a Microsoft account. If you put up a personal Minecraft server, you can disable account checking. I've never tried it though.
How are you guys playing Mc with friends?
I just made a microsoft account. the only thing it does is log into minecraft, so they can have fun trying to scrape whatever information they want out of that.
There is a mod to remove analytics and shit, i don't remember the name, maybe debugify?
You'd still have to pay for the game though.
They wont give my my game since I never "moved" from mojang (i wasn't playing pc games for like 5 years, didnt even know m$ had ruined it until I found out I couldn't log in)
I wonder if you can sue 'em, if you are in europe
Are you by any chance an American?
There was two years of free migration. Maybe check your email.
In addition to what everyone else said, if you are hosting a server, authlib-injector is a thing that switches the auth server from Mojang to something else, meaning that there is actual verification of identity beyond just username.
Multiyggdrasil is a fork of that that lets you use both Mojang and another auth server for maximum compatibility and security with friends.
As someone who has run an offline mode server, it's a question of when, not if, you get griefed
I never heard of multiyggdrasil, I'll check that out! I just use prismlauncher, with a microsoft account :(
Noted. Appreciate it. Im gonna have to read up more on security. In the old days I didnt really have anything, just moderatd it, and was pretty much fine. But now I dont even know if you can have ports open etc or if that's old school. I have a vpn but no one else I know does.
