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

    They’re the same. Basically you can’t connect to a server unless it allows you to, and most online servers prefer to use the central authentication server so they can enforce bans and whitelists. Apparently there are cracked servers, but honestly the best part of multiplayer is building a shared world with your friends, and it’s super easy to make a server on your home network. You just have to toggle offline mode.

    It is super easy to get java working singleplayer too, because there are so many third party launchers and none of them care if you have an account or not.

        Any computer made in the last 10 years will probably work. It has a really low power demand, and I would recommend you use a fabric server. I’ve used a more optimised server called Paper but it comes at the cost of fidelity, meaning certain technical designs within the world will break because the server behaviour isn’t guaranteed. Fabric has complete fidelity and pretty good performance.

        If you want to host it over the internet then you’re going to need more technical knowledge than I can reasonably teach you here. You’d really need to be able to research that yourself, I’m afraid. I tend not to do that as I only run a server for my family.
