Minecraft (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works to c/linux@lemmy.world

Hey guys,

So like many, I was into mc a while back. However after the whole Microsoft debacle and them locking my account because I didnt move it over from mojang, im still mad about it and im not re buying it from m$.

I do love luanti and mineclone, and have tried convincing my friends to play it instead, since its almost totally identical.

But im wondering, is there a way just to play Minecraft with friends over my server without all the Microsoft and account trash?

Posting here since 2 of the 3 of us run mint. I am pretty sure Minecraft runs fine on linuz but I dont recall.

Get PrismLauncher, create an offline account and set your server to online-mode = false

Then either only allow the actual participants on network-level (maybe through a VPN), or install AuthMe on the server

I'm hoping for mods/patches/launchers that provide an entirely separate infrastructure (so create an auth server for your friends, launch many different servers with the same accs, eg. modded, vanilla, minigames)
