I know this sounds fucking stupid and it probably us but I’ll ask anyway. Is there any way to pirate an account? Specifically a mc have account, mainly for multiplayer. Any other workarounds can be used for piracy?

Mainly asking cos some of my IRL friends suggested we should play mc and while I have an account I dislike playing on PC and don’t want to sync a personal account to an unsecured device.

Is this whole thing impossible and dumb? Is this the wrong community? I need advice

My friend asked me to play minecraft a week or two ago and I tried to go to my old mojang account to find apparently someone else owns minecraft now and I missed the registration window to migrate. I’m annoyed at that, and incensed to find that the game which used to be complete, full-featured foss is now $40 for what-the-fuck-did-they-add-i-dont-care-to-find-out.

I bought it in alpha when the language was that you would have every version of the game forever. I did migrate, but if I hadn’t microsoft wouldn’t give a damn. They certainly haven’t given me access to all the new versions.

Perhaps a bit off topic, but relevant - the open source clone of Minecraft, MineTest, is now more than feature complete, fully multiplayer, has much lower hardware requirements, and has quite a few things that MineCraft lacks. And it’s free.

You can host on an Android device, yes.

I would imagine that it might only work well for 2-3 friends, but I haven’t tried it. Hosting is built into the MineTest engine, and it runs much smoother than MineCraft, particularly when hosting on underpowered devices.

I routinely host 6 friends on my out-of-date laptop (while playing it, myself) and I’ve hosted 2 or 3 friends on my SteamDeck with no issues.

I run about 30 plugins full time, but you could scale back to fewer plugins, if needed, to tune the game to your available devices.

For minecraft you can just use a offline mode in pretty much every 3rd party launcher, like SKLauncher

Some people suggest hosting your own server, buy you dont have to. You can use https://aternos.org to create a server for you and your friends without hosting it in your pc.

The server’s don’t necessarily have to use Microsoft auth, so it can be used with unofficial Minecraft clients.
