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.
1 - I don’t believe you can use Minecraft without Microsoft any more - Mojang accounts were discontinued in favour of Microsoft accounts, and unmigrated accounts were deleted in 2023.
2 - Many updates have happened, but the launcher still lets you download and play every single version released, from major (x.), minor (.xx), to snapshots and one day specials, to the very first working version. Note: the first version is also available to play online for free. The last non-Microsoft update was 1.7.2 I believe
in retrospect i’m so glad i pirated that shit.
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
I use prisim mc. I forget why they forked but it works fine for me.
Mmc dev was doing shady at best stuff.
Like? I’m out of the loop
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.
