Is there a way to play minecraft without supporting microsoft? AFAIK the cracked clients can't play on servers that doesn't specifically allow it.

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 5 points 10 months ago

AFAIK Minecraft is not like water, you can live without it.

[–] Killercat103@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago

I mean I tried giving up a Microsoft account for an Ely.by one. Finding servers was somewhat more inconvenient but was fine.

Or MineClone2 on Minetest if you like the digging aspect.

You can't really torrent it, the game version gets downloaded when you start it, so you'd either have to torrent every version you want to download or download everything at once, which would take way too much space. The thing is, you don't even need to. You can make an account without buying the game and you can still play it. There's dedicated launchers for playing the game with an account that doesn't own it.

Also, Veloren is not similar to Minecraft at all, even if it's still a very good game. There's Minetest tho, which is also open source and it has a gamemode as a mod, which tries to be a copy of Minecraft.

UltiMC launcher - no torrents needed. Its a "cracked" fork of MultiMC launcher. If having a custom name and skin are important, it supports ely.by.

Seconded, or PollyMC for the Flatpak folk

Thirded, or Cracked Prism Launcher , for people who prefer that, idk

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 7 points 10 months ago

there is another

PollyMC is better, it also supports alternative auth servifes with libauthinjector and can download Curseforge modpacks (Yeah, you should use modrinth, but most good modpacks are only available on Curse)

Mintest + mineclonia really scratches the Minecraft itch, but I've not played a ton of Minecraft since the acquisition.

That seems like a good reason to not give them my data.

[–] jherazob@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

That supports the opposite of your argument

My buddies and I have been enjoying VintageStory for a while now.

I'd just play mineclone 2 or one of the not Minecraft cube voxel games at that point

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Allow to tout the horn for Minetest!

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Minetest is lit

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 0 points 10 months ago

It is and I'm feeling the need to get back to it.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly if your going to go the Minetest route you can customize it and make it your own.

I wanted the old mo creatures mod with the joust ostritches. If only I could get some time of work not spent cooking or cleaning or getting hounded by friends to join whatever game they are into at the time. I should bring my laptop to work and do it on break I guess.

[–] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I tried to migrate to Microsoft, it didn't work, support wasn't any help, now it's gone. Bought it in beta in 2011.

Contacted support again, they told me to purchase it again.

Nope. I found other ways.

Fuck these assholes.

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

probably for billing?

You forgot to describe what's your problem.
