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.
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.
Maybe j could cknvice them to go there.
Could j host a server on an android device?
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I routinely host 6 friends on my out-of-date laptop (while playing it, myself) and I’ve hosted 2 or 3 friends on my SteamDeck with no issues.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
I know, I plan to use that android one, polyjav launcher ibthtink it was called.
The problem is multiplayer
you can play on multiplayer just fine, as long as server have enabled offline-mode
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.
Will look into that.
Would a served there use the Microsoft auth? Tryna avoid that. Want a server that can be accessed by pirated copies
The server’s don’t necessarily have to use Microsoft auth, so it can be used with unofficial Minecraft clients.
