So, I stopped playing Minecraft when m$ acquired them. I refused to make a ms account. I had already bought the game twice under Mojang.
So, fuck Microsoft. How are you guys playing Mc with friends? Id like to load up my old (7 ish years) world again and play like the good times before ms ruined it all.
Am I stuck with mineclone?
You can allow unverified accounts onto your server if you run java edition. Nobody will have their account skins but who cares. This will allow people to connect and play without purchasing the game. Idk how you get one of these copies though
Im not sure either. Wayy too much shady shit out there since its a kids game and super easy to trick a dumb kid into downloading malware lol
Just go for open source launchers, Elyprism is a cracked launcher and allow skins using a 3rd party service
PrismLauncher-Cracked lets you play without Ely.by as well, just pick a username and press play
I think you can use elyprism to play without an ely.by account too, i used to do that
You might be right, I’ve never used ElyPrism and I didn’t see anything about offline accounts without ely.by but I might’ve missed something or they just didn’t include it in their README
You can restrict access to just your friend’s public IPs easy with ufw, use the launchers others mentioned and I am sure it will be fine. Or just use regular Prism and be Steve.
