I haven’t played Minecraft since 2015, but I get the feeling I might again in the new few years as I wanna find new hobbies. I know that game has changed a whole lot but I don’t have any official online data on it.

I’ve had this Microsoft account for over a decade and its probably full of personal information that I wanna let go of, I’ve already exported all my data. I would need to pay $30 for another copy of Minecraft, same price I paid in 2013. I just did a bunch of searching and its not possible to transfer my Minecraft license to another account.

    I still find MultiMC/it’s forks much better for the sole reason it has an “instances” folder and every folder has it’s own Minecraft version. Idk why but I feel that way is more organized

      Fjord Launcher allows for offline accounts, it’s a fork of Prism, which itself is a fork of PolyMC, which itself is a fork of MultiMC, which itself is a fork of yer mum

          No you still need an account. In fact since the migration it makes you reauth frequently which is annoying. There are forks that let you launch the game offline but it means you cannot play on any online servers and you are technically pirating the game.

            From what I remember:

            Owner locked all of the devs out of access to the project

            Some racism/homophobia

            And some other things i dont exactly remember rn, but because of this stuff the devs all left and forked into Prism so im not even sure is Poly is still being developed, and if it is id be sceptical on how safe it is to use given who owns it.

              TIL!

              I downloaded prism recently but not playing anything ATM, no idea on what to play (modded)

              Poly?

                So I think it goes multi -> poly -> prisim each forked due to some issue with the lead dev but I might be getting poly and prisim mixed up

                  It’s sad that they didn’t keep the curseforge zip import thingy intact, you have to download the server files and stuff and it’s annoying… I don’t know if others did solve it but I wish there was an official support

                Oh i was talking about PolyMC, a MultiMC fork. From what i know MultiMC is fine but less polishes than Prism which is a fork of PolyMC.

                  I only know about multimc. I still don’t know what’s the difference between these two since they look identical (logo/name excluded)
