Cap of the century
Decided to buy Minecraft on a separate, anonymous Outlook account to delete one of my existing old Outlook accounts and stumbled upon this.

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.
If the outlook account is only tied to the minecraft account and Microsoft doesn't know who made the outlook account, isn't that pretty safely private? Ofc microsoft can read the emails, but they won't contain any personal info of OP.
oh yeah, i guess purchasing Minecraft anonymously is a big issue.
AFAIK Minecraft is not like water, you can live without it.
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.
Once they add a mob API maybe. Mobs pakages in lua are laggy.
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.
Seconded, or PollyMC for the Flatpak folk
Thirded, or Cracked Prism Launcher , for people who prefer that, idk
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.
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
Allow to tout the horn for Minetest!
Minetest is lit
It is and I'm feeling the need to get back to it.
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.

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.
probably for billing?
