Been off MC since m$ ruined it. Only luanti and voxelibre now. Im having fun again!

Its not a 100% perfect copy, but it works flawlessly, and servers are dead simple to setup. And everything is totally customizable.

I refuse to pay m$ or use an account from them. They already ripped me off twice for the game (because I never moved it from mojang because i wasnt gaming when that transition happened, and they will not give it back), so screw em.

    (Psst, there’s a fork of prismlauncher called freesmlauncher which bypasses the need to pay micros*ft to play Minecraft) you can’t join servers that have their online-mode set to true, which is 99.9999% of public servers, but if you host your own, you can disable it and let anyone join

    Fuck MS but I will say once you own the game you don’t have to give them money. I bought it on Java from Mojang years ago and didn’t play during the changeover but was able to move it to an MS account and not pay again.

    Now with Prism launcher it’s incredible and I’ll never go back to the bloated launcher.

    Microshaft set a deadline for migrating accounts, which has now long passed. GP had their account permanently stolen.

    I mean it doesn’t sound like it’s stolen, unless the definition has changed, it appears they missed the deadline.

    They didn’t steal my account so it’s odd they’d decide to maliciously steal OPs.

    Mojang accounts were sold as a perpetual license, and the account changeover was a completely transparent strategy to terminate existing but dormant licenses so people have to rebuy the game.

    Macrosimp detected.

    Yeah cause everyone is a simp with a differing opinion.

    You basically basing your opinion on nothing but vibes. I had a Mojang account and they turned it into an Ms account. They didn’t steal it off me.

    I don’t like MS but let’s not just spread lies. You sound as conspiratorial as the fucking right wing you ghoul.

    Macrosimp detected.

    What an absolute fucking idiot. Who tf talks like this. Sausage is what you are.

    Edit: On reflection your comment is even dumber really as if you look at my years of post history you’ll see I’m not a simp for companies at all. Yet over a difference of opinion you want to label people like a little child.

    I had mine stolen, because I wasn't actively playing at the time and had no idea there was a migration or a deadline. So did many personal friends I used to play with. How is that a vibe?

    if you look at my years of post history

    I did and it's a long stream of you angrily crashing out exactly like this. Smell shit everywhere ya go, might wanna check your feet, mate.
