So first of all. I do own the game since beta. But I have been increasingly interested in the cracked versions of Minecraft. The main reason is all the age verification BS that's going on right now. I know for Minecraft this is just for Xbox right now. But I do suspect it to spill over to the java edition.

As someone who owns and runs multiple modded Minecraft servers. I wonder what are the current best cracked launchers which also support modding. Which are are safe and would you guys recommend?

Can't you just turn off verify-names in your server settings?

Sure but if Microslop decides you need a age verified account to use Minecraft or even join public servers this wouldn't work.

Turn offline mode on and install a password plugin on your server. The worst Microsoft can do is revoke premium status on accounts, and offline mode skips all MSA account checks on servers.

I know how to run the server offline and use such plugins. Its just looking for a good client that's all.

Well probably the best client is Fjord Launcher Unlocked (linked in my other comment) since it supports alternate Auth servers which effectively bypass the problem altogether. Ultimately though if Microsoft revokes premium status on accounts to get people to verify, using a different auth server or disabling it and going with offline mode will be the only real way forward.

Just keep running old versions. Minecraft hasn't added anything worthwhile in an update for over a decade anyway.
