Minecraft is easy to pirate...but why? Well to answer you: there is 0 effort to pirate it, download the client.jar from mojang official APIs (which is totally FREE) and run the jar without using any valid session ID, done! What...that's too easy, were is the catch? Well you can't have a skin, you can't play minecraft servers that don't allow un-authenticated users and anyone can use the same user without any password
Is that really piracy? I mean i am using a free thing, not messing with microsoft shit - yes i did read mojang eula and no- it's not against it.
So i wonder: can we just not call it piracy? Dunno...i leave the words to y'all!

This reminds me, the Mojo Launcher is available on Google Play. You can download the app for free, create a local account, download whatever version you need, and you're already in-game.

I only created a local account because I was too lazy to log into my MS account ~~(can Mojang die for this migration sin?)~~ before I realized I just downloaded Minecraft Java Edition for free with an app from the Play Store.

You didn't hear anything from me.
