Arrrr my fellow pirates. Since I'm very unexperienced with the seas I ask for you guys, where can I get Minecraft from for Arch Linux. It's not because I'm not willing to pay 20€ but because Microsoft is a giant bitch and I'm not willing to put money in their mouth(especially after they changed their privacy policy).

PollyMC is a Prism Launcher fork but with "offline mode" and works perfectly on my opinion. I recommend downloading the flatpak version as the appimage asks you for certain versions of Java that are easy to install but sometimes gets a little complicated.

And yes, Micro$hit can eat shit. I personally bought Minecraft but on the day I was forced to migrate my Mojang account to a Micro$oft account with the threat that "If I don't do it I'll lose access to my game" I delete my Mojang account and use PollyMC since.

Using this method to bypass the Microsoft account requirement on pure Prism Launcher is better than relying on a downstream project, IMO. Especially since PollyMC's releases are lagging behind Prism Launcher (which is expected for downstream projects), and the latest release 7.2 was behind for an entire month.
