So, i have a conundrum. I want to play minecraft, but I am absolutely seething at having to log in to my Microsoft account. I've owned Minecraft for over 10 years, but I've grown to despise Microsoft. I want an offline DRM-free Minecraft experience, and I've found versions of Prism launcher that support cracked game data, but I have no idea where to download cracked Minecraft. It's like it doesn't even exist. I'm tech savvy enough to download whatever game I want from the internet... except Minecraft??? Where is Minecraft?!

I'm also willing to simply download legitimate versions through my account one last time and then use a tool to crack them, but I can't find a way of doing that either. I beseech you, Lemmy users, how can I play Minecraft with my girlfriend without Michaelsoft being involved.

Side note: if you want to run a dedicated server and play on it with a cracked version (or just an offline mode or while MS services are down) edit the server.properties file and set online-mode=false from true. (Then restart the server if it was online)

This wipes everyone's inventories if there was already progress, so have everyone put their items in a chest before doing this. If you use modded, have everyone unclaim their chunks or any other username-bound items like teleporters with permission systems.

All of this can be redone, reclaimed, re-bound after the change happens. This effectively changes your in-game identities on a server from a Microsoft one to an offline one. This also makes it possible to evade username-based bans.
