I hate you Microsoft
Exact same thing happened to me. Still salty and refuse to play it again
Agreed. And pirating it is now more difficult because of the shitty garbage movie that made a billion dollars. Plus I don’t know that I can play with my partner on a pirated copy.
You can play with your partner on a pirated copy if you connect to a server without authentication or host one yourself
Sick, thank you! I’ve only ever played on servers I’ve hosted so that works great!

Wait the movie actually worked?
Ouah, this really is the moronest timeline

If the game has you host servers yourself, you can pretty much always use a pirated copy. If they could detect the piracy on your computer anyway they would already be blocking you from playing. If you connect to a server they host then they could have extra verification, but if you're hosting it then it's not going to be anything that isn't already being checked to prevent piracy.
It's really easy. I use SKLauncher and a dedicated server. You need to disable some player verification setting on the server but that's it.
Try Luanti. If you haven't been playing MC recently you honestly may not even notice the difference
!luanti@lemmy.zip is a great open source alternative—especially if you played Minecraft a long time ago, and if you refuse to play Microsoft’s Minecraft.
sold to Microsoft and they deleted my account
Yeah, there was a period where you had to join your Mojang account to a MS account, then they eventually shut down the Mojang auth entirely. If you didn't change over during that time you're SOL. It was announced it was coming over a year before they actually did it.
I go back and play Minecraft every now and then, usually heavily modded. Been playing through the Material Energy 5 modpack for the past little bit.

I was always wondering about this. Also had an alpha account, assumed it ended after the sale. Sad to see it confirmed 😔
They had a long time period where you could port your mojang account to a Microsoft account, but eventually they shutdown the mojang authentication.
Yeah there was at least a year where you could port it, I got it in alpha too and still play every so often
Shouldn't have been done this way. They could have migrated everyone's accounts. They did this so people would miss the emails or completely forget. So they'd have to buy it again if they came back to play it.
I kinda doubt it. That is such an insignificant amount of money to Microsoft, I doubt they'd do it for that reason. It probably has something to do with conforming to regulations or something random.

It was a year long period that was extended for two more years and change, 2020-2023.
As much as "fuck Microsoft" in general, 3 years seem fair in this case.
Same thing happened to me. Still pissed off
Just pirate it, who cares?
Maybe they wanna pay online. Why should they be punished for doing the right thing and supporting the product? Unfortunately in this age, that is the world we live in, but that doesn't make it right.
My dad is a living trash human.
I hope I can be remembered fondly, like this dad, by my kids.
I will only remember that your dad was a living trash human. Sorry
My dad is a dead trash human. I was kinda sad when he died, but life has been so much easier since.
I specifically didn't have kids because of my own father.
Turned out later in life I regretted it and wished I had made more of an effort to have a child, I think I would have been an okay father. I learned from the worst how to not be the worst, I just had way too many demons to battle through adulthood before I felt remotely capable of raising another human and not breaking them also, so it's probably good that I didn't, but having nieces and nephews made me really wish I could have experienced that kind of love.
It's too late now, but I think about what alternate lives would have been like. I wonder if we get to experience every possible instance of our own lives.
This is why I chose not to procreate, I wouldn't be a good mom and so there wouldn't be any grown kids using me as an example of what not to do

Best Father’s Day story I’ve read so far. I really hope it’s true. But since this is EXACTLY the kinda thing I would do for my boy so I’m sure it is.
The aether mod has been around for a long time, so dad probably found that.
I don't understand why the dad would lie about the mod. Wouldn't that be a great thing to teach your son?
I never played Minecraft, but I was a teen when the original Quake came out, and I LOVED exploring all the different mods.
In the early days of minecraft modding, it was a real pain in the ass. You had to extract the jar and replace class files directly and rejar it. Mod loaders didnt really exist at that time.
Well, mine always said I was stupid for wasting my time with video games.

Very wholesome, my dad would do something like that. I miss him every day.
