So, i have a conundrum. I want to play minecraft, but I am absolutely seething at having to log in to my Microsoft account. I’ve owned Minecraft for over 10 years, but I’ve grown to despise Microsoft. I want an offline DRM-free Minecraft experience, and I’ve found versions of Prism launcher that support cracked game data, but I have no idea where to download cracked Minecraft. It’s like it doesn’t even exist. I’m tech savvy enough to download whatever game I want from the internet… except Minecraft??? Where is Minecraft?!
I’m also willing to simply download legitimate versions through my account one last time and then use a tool to crack them, but I can’t find a way of doing that either. I beseech you, Lemmy users, how can I play Minecraft with my girlfriend without Michaelsoft being involved?
Huh, it seems like I need a picture???
Consider Minetest instead? A libre/open source clone.
it’s called Luanti now: https://www.luanti.org/
Don’t forget to install the Mineclonia mod which makes it basically a Minecraft clone https://content.luanti.org/packages/ryvnf/mineclonia/
Ah nice, thanks for the update. I’m glad they changed the name, that’s a lot more attractive than something with Test in the name.
I see some mods listed, but not any obvious section for modpacks. Does it have any common packs from Minecraft ported over? Like RLCraft, Prominence, etc…
Modpacks? Not really modpacks, but “games.” Different ways to play Luanti, each have different stuff.
Oh cool! Thanks, I didn’t realize the games link was what I was looking for hah.
Minetest sadly doesn’t have the robust modding scene that Java minecraft has.
Minetest is cool to play around with, but its more like a resource for testing stuff than an actual game.
It may not have all the mods Minecraft does, but it supports various games like VoxelLibre and Minecraft which also supports mods and both provide actual gameplay not just testing.
Exile is also available in luanti and its brutal survival.
Seconding VoxeLibre on Luanti, it’s great!
